Where to stay in Bontoc Mountain Province

Would you believe you can stay overnight in Bontoc for 300 pesos? Yes, for only 300 pesos, you will feel secure while staying in one of the beautiful towns of Mountain Province. I  would like to introduce to you the humble home of Kuya Joseph, Maligcong Chen's Homestay.


Maligcong Chen's Homestay is notable for its strategic and panoramic view of mountains, towering pine trees, and the popular Maligcong Rice Terraces. It's also near the jump-off point to beautiful destinations like Mt. Kupapey or Mt. Fato.

This homestay has 3 floors. The first floor is the receiving area, dining area, and kitchen. The second and third floors are occupied with rooms. On the rooftop, you can find a  viewing deck to see most of the tourist spots in Bontoc. This place is also perfect for sipping a locally brewed coffee while enjoying the serenity and beauty of the area.



Maligcong Chen's Homestay can accommodate up to 14 pax. It has room for singles, couples and for a group. Each room comes with a comfy bed, blanket, and pillow. Guests will share on common CR, found on the first and second floors. The hot and cold shower is also available.



No need to worry if you don't bring your own food; you can ask the wife of Kuya Joseph to cook for you. They offered meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We tried some of their specialties, and we loved them so much! The food was really delicious and very affordable. By the way, Maligcong Chen's Homestay offers unlimited brewed coffee.

They made sure we would have a great stay in their homestay. Kuya Joseph can organize a tour for you. He can also be your tour guide. You may contact them at 09562805628 or 09207939550.
