Extraordinary the best!”
The location is great for a relaxing and away from noise kind of vacation. I appreciate the sound of the waves as we woke up in the morning because ocean is just right in front of our room. Rooms are well cleaned and stuffed with amenities, owner is from abroad so their hotel standard is pretty good! And best part, we had our anniversary in batanes. After our tour, we were surprised by their effort putting up an extra service to greet us during our anniversary stay. Rose petals on our bed, a happy anniversary sign at our door, complimentary dinner and even a cake! It was really a surprise! They’re treating the guests extra special and we felt very comfortable talking to the staff and for attending our every needs. From the airport pick up, until we arrived at the hotel, they welcomed us very warmly. It was a great stay at dive batanes!

Hands-on Experience”
Josie and Douglas (owners) had carefully attended to our needs throughout our 3-night stay. The place has definitely exceeded our expectations, was way better than the pictures. What is unique about their location is the feeling of being able to completely immerse with Mother Nature, such as being lulled by the waves to peaceful thinking or calm sleep. Or just by forgetting about time by hanging around the balcony and rooftop deck. Yes, it was farther from Basco Town but still very accessible with a mere Php 70 tricycle ride good for 3 pax. The staff was equally excellent! They were very accommodating and went the extra mile, even helping us with lodge transfers (Batan-Sabtang), when it was clearly not their responsibility. The internet connection in the area is a working progress but for us, it only helps more with fully appreciating Basco. Nonetheless, they are currently installing LTE to ensure they are always doing their best to give every customer an unforgettable stay in the

Very satisfied stay. The place to recommend.”
Owner and staffs were friendly, cheerful, pleasant and accomodating. The roofdeck served as the venue for a special request. The sound of the waves and wind at the roofdeck added to the ambiance which completed the Batanes experience. Staff Gina was always at hand to assist in any request - giving service with a smile.

Good”
The owner upgraded our standard room to deluxe for free. We booked for one night and our room was beachfront so kinda relaxing. Staffs were so friendly. Its just that they don’t serve dinner thats why we walked around and ate at amboy’s instead. But good thing our booking comes with breakfast. 🥰

Nice view”
The staff & the owners were accommodating & were very helpful. The food was also delicious, especially the cheesecake! The network & wifi signal in the whole chanarian area is very weak, though the view across the lodge is superb!

value for money will be for a group of travelers”
for those travelling for a minimum of three, the rates will be cheap. the rooms are big and can accommodate two adults and two children below the age of 12. WiFi is only available at the main building and will be made available by the owner itself as the staff do not have access. cellphone connection is not available in the room but this is in many areas of Batanes not just in the hotel. the staff are friendly, the rooms are clean. Food offering is very limited but there are restaurants at walking distance. If available request for rooms at the annex which is facing the sea. the location is very nice as it is near the beach, but the beach is not suitable for swimming, just for strolling. it is very easy to call the "cogon"or public transportation to tour the island. The staff can arrange for local and interisland tours.

Nice and cozy place...”
the location is nice... but maybe not too good for someone who needs constant communication to outside Batanes. No network signal need to go to seashore just to get signal.

Thank you for your review and for your stay with us. We now have upgraded Satellite internet and cell signal. Hope to see you again soon.
Good lodging house. ”
Staffs are nice and friendLy. Just the location a bit outside of central, and finding a trike is a bit of a problem at times. But wont be much of an issue if you’re constantly out on tours or if you rented a motorbike! Batanes is just breath takingly serene.

Dive Batanes Lodge”
Hosts were great. Make sure their boat is ready before booking. After all, it is a dive resort.

Thank you for staying with us. We enjoyed your company. Our Boat is back in the water and running great now. Come back next season and we will treat you to a Dive from our boat at one of our more remote sites..best regatds..!
If no other accomodations available”
Yes and no, would recommend if other night hotel are fully booked. They advertise as a diving resort, it is definitely not. Pro: Room was clean We were upgraded (luckily, because room was quite simple..) Breakfast good (Filipino breakfast, no choice, but fresh). Possibly for diving! (But would then recommend to stay somewhere else and come for diving only). Cons: No room cleaning even when you ask for it. No signal on smart or Globe (very little in the lobby) and no WiFi, unlike in Basco town where you have signal. Location is not so good if you don't have your own motorbike, as you need to go to town or other places to have other dinning options. Diving was good, the marine sanctuary dive is really amazing, but this is definitely not a diving resort (no boat and therefore not so much dive spot without boat). Even ask for dive, weather was perfect, they say they will look for a boat.. and they didn't, sad :( So, if other nice place are booked it's ok.

Alfred an erstwhile local (Ivatan) coming back after so many years, from Melbourne.”
A beautiful place near the beach. The staff are friendly and accommodating. It may be a bit away from the commercialised and busy Basco, but offers a quite place - so Batanes in its setting, Its only a tricycle away, which can be provided by Dive Batanes. Chanarian is also good for walking or jogging and I had a great time walking up to the best view of Mt. Iraya on the road to Mahatao. Tukon is minutes away and also walkable which can provide stunning 360 degrees views of Batan including Valugan Bay and Mt. Matarem.

Great place!”
We had a great stay with Dive Batanes. The room is spaceous, clean and the location is so peaceful. Cell reception is not so good though but its a plus for me because I went to Batanes to relax and not to be frequently disturbed by work and etc. Its a little bit far from the town proper but you can ride tricycle to/from or you can contact their terminal in Basco for pick-up. The breakfast is nothing spectacular but note that generally, food in Batanes are simple (unless you dine in Fundacion everytime). The staff are friendly and very helpful. The aircon is a bit old thus very noisy though and I had a hard time sleeping. Over all, it was worth my money.

Comfortable Hotel and Great Value for Money”
Our stay in Dive Batanes was great. Although not situated in Basco, this hotel is in the center of both North and South Batan island. It is quiet and is a few minutes walk from Casa Napoli (one of the well known pizza places in Batanes). The hotel has a homey ambience and the food would remind you of eating at your own home. The hotel has no restaurant, however, you can request for lunch or dinner in the morning if you are eating in. They also offer activities such discovery diving (I don't know of an other hotel in Batanes offering diving), bike rentals and tours. The best thing I can say is that the staff are really accommodating and hospitable, and you can feel that they truly want to satisfy the needs of their customers.

Excellent Customer Service!”
Thank you, Dive Batanes for your generosity. My birthday cake was really a surprise! It is amazing to have met such nice people who would go beyond their guest's expectations. Even if we stayed for a short time, you made us feel so important. We highly recommend DIVE BATANES RESORT!

Nice, comfortable and relaxing”
My stay in Dive Batanes Lodge is very relaxing and comfortable. The hotel is far from the main city around 3KM away but the surrounding is very nice. It is situated in from of the national highway and across the sea (beach). The room is very clean and free breakfast is ok. I recommend this place for divers as they offer diving facilities and for groups who loves a quiet and relaxing place to stay. They also have bikes for rents.
