Property was tired. WC not clean. 2nd room (booked thru hotel direct) was better than the 1st room. Though when booking i paid for the best room. Not the best value for money..

PROS: Location: 5/5 Cleanliness: 5/5 Price: 5/5 Food in its restaurant: 5/5 Care for the environment: 5/5 Safety: 5/5 It’s like staying in grandma’s house and eating grandma’s cooking. Staff are very nice, polite, friendly. The beautiful plants in the well-maintained yard are very relaxing and comforting. CONS: No elevator(s) but staff will assist you with your luggages. Walls are thin - you can hear the conversations next to your room (but negligible if you wear earbuds). ***HIGHLY-RECOMMENDED and will definitely return.

Hotel charged on checkout for prepaid room

I paid for my father to stay here ahead via card. Upon checkout he was charged for one night with only a yellow order slip copy as receipt (no official receipt given) and the hotel has refused the refund request. Be aware. It's a shame because the hotel itself is very nice. This one issue ruined it.

I found the Big House to be an incredible stay in the middle of a busy city . The courtyard and rooms are very quiet . They are clean and well maintained . The staff is incredible . They will take care of you in little ways . I bought some fruit in a local fruit market and they wete happy to cut it up and serve it . They were very kind .

A jewel in Davao

My colleague and I are staying at the Big House because we have workshops and meetings around the area. We are thrilled to have found this 'home' away from home. Elizabeth and her team are kind, friendly and always looking to help with any questions or requests. There are restaurants in the area, and other sites (People's Park, Abreeza Mall) are a short taxi or Jeepney ride away. So pleased to have vegetarian options on the menu. Elizabeth, the owner/Chef, is delightful and has shared Durian liquor, blue cheese, and homemade flower juices with us. The first room was very comfortable (Elizabeth) but since we are staying for a longer time, we moved to Leticia because it is roomier. AC and hot water. Needless to say, a two-day stay has now been extended to the full week we are staying in Davao. Highly recommend.
