Detailed Reviews
We ate in this restaurant for our evening meal and for breakfast. The evening meal was quite good with soup and a main course included in the reasonable price. However we returned for breakfast as we were staying at Martha's Hearth which doesn't offer meals but has an arrangement with this inn. Many of the items on the buffet had been out for too long and were cold. There wasn't any butter with the toast and the toast was hardly browned. The egg station was good and offered the hottest food. Bearing in mind that it was less than 10 degrees outside, a warm selection of food would be in order.

We stayed for one night as part of an organised tour. Rooms are basic but clean and comfortable. The area suffers from multiple dogs who seem to bark all night disturbing our sleep. The food lunch evening meal and breakfast were all excellent and some of the best we had on our tour. Friendly welcoming service.

Stayed two nights with a tour. This inn is very basic. The rooms are spartan: bed, wobbly desk. No chair (eventually got one on request), no night stand, no light switch near the bed and no night lamp (eventually got one on request). Needless to say, no phone or TV. No AC and no window screens. No soundproofing whatsoever; windows and doors are poorly sealed with large gaps. There are dogs outside barking all night long, and the church bells ring at 06:00 in the morning. Both nights I got hardly any sleep.
The bathroom was quite primitive. Shower with extremely low water pressure, and very difficult to adjust water temperature. No shelf space. No bath mat.
No housekeeping service.
Wifi only in the lobby - when it works, that is.
Acceptable breakfast.
In a nutshell: stay elsewhere.

This hotel is centrally located and comfortable. The staff in particular are wonderful. I was ready to be out of my shoes and when someone noticed I was barefoot (wonderful wood floors) they got me a pair of slippers. I did opt for the laundry service (20 pesos per piece!) because I thought they had what I think of as a traditional laundry setup as in the states...washer and dryer. Nope! They iron your clothes dry. Panicked when I found this out with a mental image of my clothes being destroyed with a sizzling hot iron. Got my clothes back to discover they used a low setting and my clothes were intact. Whew! Also plan on it taking a longer amount of time than you'd expect because of the method used if you decide to use the service.

Our room was small but clean with nice beds and hot water. We also had a small balcony overlooking the garden/trash dump. Sagada is small and options are limited, but this is a good choice. Only downside were the barking dogs that kept us awake all night, along with the rest of the town. Breakfast was very good with fresh bread!

The location of this hotel in the center of town is the main positive comment I can make about my three day stay. The bathroom is small, unclean and always damp. The room was never cleaned and towels were not changed. Food at the restaurant was sometimes good and sometimes poor and always took a long time to prepare. Breakfast on 2 days included warm bread which was very good.
The young people on the staff would benefit from some guidance by a manager. I would not stay here again.

The restaurant is very cosy and welcoming. The photos taken by Masferre are a treat for cultural and ethnographic enthusiasts. The service was prompt but the Filipino menu was disappointing. The restaurant didn't have most popular dishes available during the time of my visit despite being listed on the menu. The adobo was mostly chicken bones and the food had an unpleasant taste and odour. The noodles and rice were ok and the best choice. Service was efficient.
A local guide today said they often hear the same complaints from
Other visitors about the venue but they keep their mouths zipped. It's a sham because the standard won't improve unless constructive feedback is provided.

December 24, 2011, we had an early Christmas Eve dinner at Masferre. We had 2 tables reserved for 21 individuals. We even payed in advance.
This was the scenario:
- On my way to the buffet table, my sister asked me to request some tissue paper/ paper table napkins. I told the waitress wearing a pink shirt. (excuse me, may i request for some tissue/table napkin?) Everything seemed okay because by the looks of it she and the other waitress behind the counter (wearing black) exchanged words regarding my request. But I waited for more than 15 minutes but the table napkin did not arrive.
- I went back to the buffet table to get some tea, the waitress in pink was standing nearby and so I followed up the request ("miss, uhm, where's the tissue...?) , she again nodded and went to the counter to talk with the woman in black w/c I saw go inside the kitchen. I went back to our table and waited but still no tissue. And now I see the waitress in pink behind the buffet table.
- When my sister went to get some more tea, she came back with a handful of table napkins. So I asked her where she got it and she told me that she only asked for it. "once" I got irritated and wondered, "are they ignoring my requests on purpose?"
- Just to confirm, I waited and started thinking on how to do another request, just in time, my aunt who was beside me wanted some water and so I presented myself to ask for it. This time I got the attention of a small woman that looked very boyish. "May I request for 3 glasses of water?" She nodded....but again, I waited for 10 minutes and no water came. I looked at the counter and majority of the staff/crew were just there talking to each other. How hard is it to get 3 small glasses of water?
- This time I told my mother (who was the one who made the reservation with the owner/manager) I explained what happened. I asked my dad to call the owner to express my concern. When she came and heard us, she apologized and explained that "maybe" her staff who were according to her are contractual, were tired or frantic/panicked by all of the nights work.
HUH?! "again" how hard is it to get tissue paper/table napkin and 3 glasses of water?
I personally did not feel any sincerity from her (the owner/manager).
I think there was a 3rd incident where - at the buffet table - I was about to get some pasta and right there and then, a different waitress quickly took the pasta from the table. That time I thought that there must be something wrong with the spaghetti for them to take it away. But now that I've thought about it, I could say that it's a part of it...maybe a sinister plan against me? Why?
Because a day before (Dec 23), we were also supposed to dine there. But my mom already had a reservation at Haddeku and our guide who was supposed to cancel (as agreed earlier) forgot to do it. And so, there was no choice but to proceed with Haddeku because the buffet was already prepared specially/only for our group.
But during that time, most of our family was already inside Masferre (no orders yet) and by the time the rest of us got there, I was the one who told everyone (who was inside--sitting-- Masferre) about the predicament and that we have to leave and proceed with our previous reservation with Haddeku.
So, paranoid as I may seem, that is the only logical evidence/reason I can think of. They "maybe", thought that I cost them their earnings for that night. Because before we left, a staff called my mom's attention and told us that because of us/ our group, they rejected an earlier reservation by foreigners, and that they we have to tell/ explain to the owner.
That night night, when we left Masferre, that boyish looking woman was at the door and even had the guts to stare at me eye to eye...Non of the staff came and apologized.
Though the food was okay, the service was horrible.
Thank you for ruining my Christmas Eve.

This is a fine place to stay; the rooms are well kept and the staff are friendly. The food was reasonable and it's nice to be guaranteed a breakfast in an area where restaurants constantly tell you that most of their menu is unavailable (usually only at the point of ordering rather than being handed the menu). The location is also very good as it is situated almost next door to where tours are organised (which is also where they start and finish).
The main issues we had were that the internet was sporadic and the shower was quite bad; we did manage to get the temperature to remain consistent but the power was pathetic.
The other main issue was being woken at around 6am by church bells (which ring sporadically throughout the morning) as well as dogs barking and fighting in the early hours. This is largely out of the hotel's control and I'm not sure if there is anywhere else in Sagada that doesn't have this issue but it is very frustrating.
I also don't suggest using the laundry service unless you have to as it works out very expensive.
