Our favourite places to stay on this sleepy Cebu island.
There’s a circulating maxim among temporary Baguio migrants: “You may leave Baguio, but Baguio will never leave you.” It stems from the endearing tendency of former residents to keep coming back to the city. Within a few months of leaving, they return, asking the question of where to stay in Baguio City — as if seeing the destination, for the first time, with the eyes of a tourist.
It’s no secret that Baguio holds a charm you can’t find elsewhere, and this is perhaps what reels everyone to it. Despite the complaints of it being overcrowded and overrated, the City of Pines continues to thrive as a top-tier destination in the Philippines. Elite aunties love it. Budget travellers love it. You, for sure, love it too. So if you’re here to learn where to stay in Baguio City, then you’ve come to the right place. Regardless of your budget, you’ll find just the accommodation for you.

Listing name: Executive Penthouse w/ AC Netflix Nintendo Switch
Listing type: Entire place
Max. no. of guest: 10
No. of bedrooms: 3
While many of our Baguio memories are etched with old cabin homes, the city has, in fact, evolved into a cosmopolitan centre. This isn’t to say that Baguio has wholly lost its rustic charm. An epitome of present-day Baguio City, the Executive Penthouse presents the perfect fusion of modern luxury and old-town Kankanaey.
Sitting vis-à-vis the Burnham Park and Hangar Market, the Airbnb gives a breathtaking panorama of Baguio City from its private roof deck, where guests are more than welcome to sit and dine as they indulge in the views. And while it’s hard to match the exquisite cityscape and natural breeze Baguio has to offer, the penthouse remarkably shows that it is just as superb inside with its luxury hotel-grade beds and linens and air-conditioned rooms.
Guests also have access to an impressive amount of features, including Netflix (available across four TVs), WiFi, and even a Nintendo Switch. Needless to say, the host has made sure to go above and beyond for guests to enjoy their Baguio staycation amid the new normal.

A glass treehouse perched on top of Baguio’s pinewood forests? There’s no questioning why Tudor in the Pines has drawn much attention. The place is unlike any other. While its architecture mirrors modernity, it remains steeped in the simplicity of the city. It offers several amenities for its guests to enjoy: a private garden, a fully-equipped barbecue pit, a glasshouse lounge — even a viewing tower!
Although the Baguio Airbnb bestows the particular serenity only nature can offer, it is also a haven for the audacious. It features hammocks and an open sky shower, as well as a hanging bridge and a timbre deck settled 30 feet above the ground. The next time you need to seek peace amid a cluttered, boisterous world, you should consider retreating to this glass treehouse.

In the 20th century, Americans moved to “develop” Baguio under their colonial rule. Because of this, the city now carries blatant American influence on its landscape architecture, still one of the many facets that distinguish Baguio City from the rest of the Philippines.
Camp John Hay particularly oozes Western influence, as it was once a recreational facility for the Americans. Nowadays, the tourist destination is best known for its food spots, terrain, and country facilities that remind tourists that Baguio was, once upon a time, known as “Little America.”
If you want to taste this version of the city, then the Camp John Hay Forest Cabin is just where you must stay in Baguio. It takes mere minutes of walking to get to restaurants, coffee shops, groceries, golf courses, and other iconic establishments. Plus, its log cabin style is reminiscent of the culture of Western camping in the woods.

Baguio is beautiful all year round, but there’s something incredibly magical about the city during the Yuletide season. The wind is cooler, the nights are brighter, the spirit is livelier.
When I lived in Baguio, I’d celebrate my Christmas nights with my friends in an Airbnb that looked just like Balai Ruthanna Homestay. We’d huddle around a bonfire — grilling hotdogs, playing the guitar, exchanging gifts, telling stories.
Located inside a quiet neighbourhood, Balai Ruthanna is definitely an Airbnb where guests can enjoy the serenity of Baguio City — just like how we did back then. And like Baguio, it’s beautiful all year round. It has an expansive garden, cosy interiors, and a fantastic location with the best nature views.

While its surroundings are hard to beat, Baguio Hillhouse makes sure that its interiors are just as stunning. It boasts a rustic industrial design that makes a gorgeous contrast against the pine trees outdoors. The home is also equipped with a flat-screen TV, a fully functional kitchen, and a spacious roof deck.

Whenever I visit the city, I hoard lemons and lettuce from the Baguio Public Market, which sells the most affordable fresh produce. Baguio is just a hotspot for all things healthy and green, and the Baguio Farmhouse celebrates that.
Functioning as both a private greenhouse and a transient home, this residence is flourishing with herbs and flowers. Just imagine waking up to their fragrance! The best part? You can actually pick the spices to season your home-cooked meals.

Studying for the board exams? Preparing for an important event? Brainstorming for a passion project? While Baguio is known for its bed weather, it is also a destination conducive to productivity. After all, the Summer Capital is a university town — students have been populating the city for years. Unknown to most, many alumni continue to flock to the city whenever they need to get into the right headspace. (Rumours have it that even Nick Joaquin travelled all the way here for this very purpose!)
If you’re gearing up for something and need motivation and inspiration, I recommend booking an Airbnb in Baguio like this modern-brutalist apartment. Owned and furnished by a professional architect, this listing doesn’t disappoint. It has a straightforward but practical style, making it the perfect refuge for those seeking solitude or needing focus.
Listing name: 4) The Mondrian-Baguio City-1.4km away from Burnham
Listing type: Entire loft
Max. no. of guest: 4
No. of bedrooms: 1
While the previous listings were more stereotypically Baguio, this one brings out the modern take on the city. By modern take, I mean the Baguio version heavily inspired by its Korean residents.
Several Koreans have studied in Baguio for years, so it’s unsurprising to see hallyu overtaking it. That said, The Mondrian proves that Korea isn’t only influencing the restaurants and cute cafes in the city.
Clearly inspired by Korean interiors, this residence is light, airy, and minimalist. It features tiny chairs but huge windows, basic lines and vibrant colours. It even has a mini garden, so you can take in the fresh Baguio breeze whenever you want!
Listing name: Lush and tranquil loft with Balcony & Fast Wifi
Listing type: Entire loft
Max. no. of guest: 4
No. of bedrooms: 2
If you’ve ever visited the BenCab Museum, the Oh My Gulay restaurant, or the Ililikha Artist Village, then you’ll agree with me that the Lush and Relaxing Loft seems touched by all the same elements: greens, art, and practical use of space.
Planning a staycation with your closest friends? How about a private getaway with your significant other? A simple birthday bash for your mom? Or, just a solo trip to escape the noise of Manila? With one queen-sized bed and one sofa bed, this loft makes a mellow spot for all these special occasions. Its location isn’t bad, either, as Ben Palispis Highway is easily accessible through public transportation.
Listing name: Comfy and Cozy 2BR with Balcony & Indoor FIREPLACE
Listing type: Entire condo
Max. no. of guest: 6
No. of bedrooms: 2
There’s nothing quite as comfy and cosy as unwinding by a crackling fireplace in the City of Pines!

Whether you’re whipping up meals during your stay or curling up in bed, this condo makes for the perfect home base to relax and recharge after a day of exploration.
Listing name: Eve’s Baguio Transient House
Listing type: Entire room
Max. no. of guest: 6
No. of bedrooms: 1
You don’t need much when in Baguio. Most times, a couch, a kitchen, and a veranda will suffice — even satisfy. Eve’s Baguio Transient House reminds me of my favourite apartments back in college for the very reason that it’s simple, chill, and yet more than I can ask for.
If you’re looking for where to stay in Baguio and you aren’t too fussy about amenities, then this transient house might be the perfect one for you. It’s spacious enough for a whole family or barkada. It has its own kitchen, too. (Make sure to maximise it, as you cook your palengke-bought vegetables and longganisa for breakfast!) For a better experience, I suggest you bring a French press so you can enjoy your Baguio beans as you unwind on the veranda.
