Riverside Lodge Bansang

Riverside Lodge Bansang

10/10 Excellent
"It is isolated. So you're not within walking distance to a local shop or restaurant. Fortunately, the staff cook a great local meal. Anything you request, they'll prepare it. Cold drinks are also available although a touch expensive. Power going off is a constant battle, but a solar generator makes life pleasant indeed. They don't help organize trips so you're left to yourself to explore the local area, which is tricky in the wet season when we were there. Beautiful, peaceful, clean, and great staff."
