Ivana hotel rooms a the Independent

"This was a simple inexpensive hotel in the downtown area of Basco which made it very convenient to walking around and various dining places. The hosts were marvelous, with pick up and drop off to the airport. On a few occasions when it was raining, the owner, Bert Baletin, dropped us at a Restuarant and came and picked us later. The place was super clean and had a roof top that made great sightseeing for evening sunsets. "

"The staff and service was beyond excellence. The rooms were very clean with excellent housekeeping. we will gladly stay there again onour return visit to Batanes."

"Staff were wonderful, attentive, accommodating. Had a wonderful stay. "

"PRO: Walkable (5-10mins walk) from the airport, quiet location, clean, nature-ry, has a non-chlorinated pool, kind and helpful staff, free and delish breakfast, room was spacious and clean, bathroom was spacious, clean and updated, AC was strong/cool, flush/toilet was tested and passed with flying colors, has a tiny honesty store in-site (well-stocked, reasonably priced), wifi is decent, easy to find transport, staff will hook you up with tours, very accomodating with early check-in (we arrived at 8-9am and they still checked us in with breakfast too!). CON: Water pressure can be weak (bidet), no bell in the front desk which can cause some delay since we have to look for the staff, laundry service is pricey. RECOMMENDATION: Highly recommended for short/long stay in Basco for business/leisure."

"Exceptional service!The hotel staffs were professional, friendly and attentive."

"Great time with my fiancee. We stayed 4 nights and they hooked us up with pretty much everything we needed."

"Staff and accomodations excellent. Near restaurants and convenience stores. Walkable to airport but property has own shuttle service to pick and drop guests to and from airport. Will recommend. Special mention to Chris and Russell who made our stay despite the bad weather relaxing and worth the stay."
