                A vey homey and warm bed & breakfast ”

                Tops would be hospitality. And then comfort and tranquility!

                The Big House is a place of solitude and tranquility ! The owners are warm and very hospitable. They went out of their way to bring us to Sunday service and it was an experience of a lifetime. They have wonderful food ! They have the best halo halo in town. Truly home made ! a MUST try ! I am already thinking of my next trip to Davao this year. I shall return.

                kinda like home only it isn't”

                wifi in room, large comfortable bed, smoking areas

                The Big House is really that--a big house converted into a hotel. The place has a home-like feeling. The room is large, so is the bed, and there are places all around where one can smoke (rare in Davao). However, there are always mosquitoes in the room and one night, there seemed to be a party at the garden; this wouldn't have been a bad thing except the guests were loud and the party wound up late. Breakfast was good; coffee in a French press is a novelty. Wifi connection was pretty good; lots of nearby restaurants.

                I love the ambiance, the courteous and efficient staff, plus we got to talk to the owner, Ms. Ningning! They welcomed us and were very helpful since we do not know our way around the city.

                I'm coming "back home" to The Big House! It was so comfortable and super worth every peso. I heard a lot of good things from friends about this place. They were sooo right.

                Nice hotel in Ma-a”

                The hotel is located in the ma-a suburb of Davao only a short walk away from the NCCC mall Matina Town Square. The staff is very friendly. The facilities are simple, however, sufficient for a short stay. To downtown, it is a short ride by jeepney. Wifi access is limited and not sufficient in every room.

                We have been here not for the first time, because we always liked it. The colonial style is cosy, and the room is quite. Sure, we will come back again.

                It was nice, hiwever, the generator did not function well during a long power interruption so the room got warmer and the mosquitos came out. We checked out without having a bath because the water was not available without the power.

                ここはリッチなファミリーがもて余した部屋をホテル用に改装して宿泊施設として提供しています。大きい通りから少しだけ中に入った所にありとても静かで家の佇まいや雰囲気、庭の感じもなかなか良く居心地は悪くなかったです。食事も悪くはなかったので外へ出て行くのが面倒な時ここのレストランをよく利用しました。部屋も特に問題ありませんでしたが、シャワーがいまいちだったのと蚊が多かったです。値段相応といったところでした。
