Tucked in a small neighborhood is a quaint bed and breakfast in the Summer Capital of the Philippines. A former summer resthouse of a celebrity, the property bares witness to the hosting of stars and aficionados in its early years. Restored and polished with a touch of rustic country living, the property opens its doors to guests and travelers looking for the authentic Filipino hospitality and respite from the urban life.
Personalized experience is delivered by the bed and breakfast to all its guests from check-in to check-out. Common rooms house the grandeur of a high ceiling adorned by industrial chandeliers, walls paneled by Narra and completed exquisite locally handcrafted furnitures. Indoors are kept warm by the focal fireplace ablaze by freshly cut wood during cooler months. The design envisions the rustic country-style living of its former celebrity owner.
Rooms are designed with tandem guests and travellers in mind providing touches of Cordilleran craftsmanship from intricately carved bed frames to delicately weaved upholsteries. Home cooked breakfast welcomes guests to a new day prepared from locally sourced produce from the communities of the Baguio. No two breakfasts are served the same making offerings something to look forward to. Checking-in is an experience in itself of true Filipino-Cordilleran hospitality. Your stay is sure to be more than a home away from home.
A high ceiling panelled by Narra provides grandeur for couples seeking respite. Watch the sunrise beam through the window as you write notes on an intricately carved study table.
Narra wood panelling and high ceiling continues across from adjacent Room Aleph. The king size canopy bed faces a showcase window overlooking the garden. A study nook and seating area provides a private space for guests while walls of the walk-in closet are covered by mirrors.
A Cordilleran artwork and exclusively made traditional furnishings is the focal point of the room for two. Sunrise beams through the window panel making the study nook a space for writing and reflection. Narra paneling from the common rooms continue to adorn the rooms at the lower level.
The room gives access to a private guest-only living room ideal for small chats and lounging with your partner. The space that doubles as a gallery is shared with Room Gimmel. Overlooking the garden, the room is perfect for an affordable stay for two.
Perfect place to stay in baguio with family to relax and inhale the cold breeze while feeling just at home.. We have been to baguio many times but this is the first time when we just want to stay and relax skipping out mines view visit and park tours. Thank you to Venus and her niece Helen for the warm welcome. See you soon.

Everything was really wonderful. The owner and staff were beyond excellent. It was a home away from home. The rooms were clean. I especially loved the vintage pieces in the house. The food was also healthy and tasty.
Stayed January 2016, traveled with family.

We stayed at Beth room, just perfect for may family. The staff and the owner herself were very accomodating and we loved the breakfast and the coffee they had served us. We would definitely go back to this beautiful and cozy home away from home.
Quezon City, Philippines
My parents stayed in the Aleph room, which is the couple's room with ensuite. The entire house is decorated in a very 70s kitsch style, which makes it both interesting and welcoming. My parents enjoyed their stay so much that they decided to return rather than trying another hotel after a weekend away. I would highly recommend the Guest Haven to anyone visiting Baguio - you will definitely enjoy yourself and feel incredibly well looked after.

Venus and Gill are warm people, and that is why you immediately feel at home in their beautiful decorated Guest Haven. We were travelling with our two small kids. They were more than welcome, and the lovely garden is a great place for them to play around. Very nice breakfast as well!

This quaint and cozy house situated in Justice Village, Baguio left a very memorable landmark to my family's heart. I have nothing negative to say to this home. Customer service was delivered excellently.
This place is highly recommended.
