John Hay Hotels Forest Wing (Formerly The Forest Lodge)

We had a wonderful and memorable stay at The Forest Lodge! Special thanks to Ms. Jelena Orense for her exceptional service and for upgrading our room for free — such a thoughtful gesture.||I brought my mother, who was recently diagnosed with cancer, to celebrate her 60th birthday. It was her wish to return to Baguio, and I’m so thankful we made it happen. It was also my siblings’ first time visiting Baguio from Davao Oriental, and they truly loved it.||Thank you to the entire staff for making our stay so comfortable meaningful. Highly recommend!

the forrest lodge was great!! it was me and my family's first time. for the price, the staff was very accomodating! the ambiance was great and warm, the rooms were clean and proportionate, lastly the location is great! ||camp john hay by has the best environment. perfect for night drinks, morning walks, and daytime adventures. the forrest lodge's location has short walks near tsokolate de batirol, food places, and berry mamaa!! ||the forrest lodge is great for all ages, it's very clean, and it's always timely relevant. great for a short family get away.

Such an amazing time with the family! We traveled with our young kids and they enjoyed the trip a lot. The room was clean, and spacious enough for our group. The hotel staff were all delightful, helpful and very pleasant. Plus the lobby was adorned with beautiful Christmas decorations! We will definitely stay here when we go back.

Rooms were so nice and spacious. Staff were all very hospitable. Love the location as it is close to everything but not sure about the accessibility if you have no car. Very happy with our stay here and will definitely recommend this hotel.

Our family have stayed here twice already and it has become our go-to hotel. Location is good and the ambiance is beautiful as Camp John Hay is surrounded by pine trees. Everything was perfect, but the 11 AM check-out time was a bit disappointing. It would be better if it could be extended to 12 PM.

Not as good as expected for the price. This hotel has so much potential. I have been to many hotels around the world, so I'll just focus on differences: It does amenities super well. The restaurants, Spa and services available are incredible. Room service was such a treat, especially since I was able to do an advance order. The rooms are clean, but lack many items you would expect. There were no tissues, Wash cloths/body towels, conditioner or room wear. The body soap and shampoo are locked up in a way that makes it almost impossible to use. They asked for a deposit, even though I paid in full with a Credit Card. Understandable, as I was able to use this at checkout to pay for room service. Then upon check out they wanted me to wait wait while they checked the room but what blew my mind was the desk attendant handed me a signed card to show security. A card that had proved I completed check out so security would allow me to leave. I have never experienced this in any hotel I have stayed in before. This left a really sour taste in my mouth, and completely erased all of the nice things I had in my mind about this place. This hotel could be great all they have to do is stop treating guests like thieves and add the above mentioned items to each room. Thanks for reading.

We stayed in a pet friendly room. We were 3 pax but we chose to get 2 rooms since we wanted privacy and both beds were just double size with no sofa bed. We had our own parking in front which was convenient. Generally we were happy with the space! Pets weren’t allowed in general areas but that was fine. The general areas (especially the shared garden with manor) was so nice with the Christmas event ongoing. Our only qualm was that we were called at 10pm because our dog was supposedly barking, waking us up from our sleep, even if they didn’t double check it was our room.

My family and I always go to Baguio. But this is the first time we stayed at The Forest Lodge. Price wise, I was able to book it directly on its website with a very good deal. We stayed in a one bedroom suite located at the fourth floor. The view is so relaxing. The room does not need airconditioning at night but it is still very cold. We love that it has a mini kitchen with microwave and sink. We were able to reheat our left overs. The bed and pillows are very comfortable. The room is very spacious for a family of six. My husband and I had a few drinks at the lobby lounge (St. Patrick's). It was small but cozy. Ala carte breakfast is good, specially the spanish sardines. But as for the breakfast buffet, it was a little bit disappointing because the choices are few. And lastly, my kids love that the Forest Lodge is just beside The Manor. They were able to enjoy the Christmas Village at night.||As for the location, Camp John Hay is the best location for us if we want to have a vacation in Baguio. CJH is quiet, has lots of pine trees, and has safe trails if you want to do some morning walks. ||Overall experience, staying at The Forest Lodge is one of the best vacations we ever had in Baguio.

This place is very scenic, which is nice. Their lobby is especially nice which gave me such high hopes for our stay here. Their grounds and the garden are absolutely beautiful and it's so nice to look like and walk around during the morning and even dawn. There's a 24 hour cafe located at the lobby, which is convenient if you ever need caffeine or some sweet treats during inconvenient hours. The rooms are a nice size, pretty standard and their bathrooms are ok. Now here's where my complaints start. It took a long time for us to check in since the room that was booked for us was still occupied since this hotel allows late checkouts, which much to our chagrin meant we had to wait a couple of HOURS until we can settle into our rooms. When we finally got to our rooms, we discovered that it was stuffy and dusty-- like I found dust under the pillows and the covers near the end of the bed was kind of sticky. Then, after a long day and wait, a hotel employee knocks on our door and says they needed to fix our bathroom doorknob. It was so noisy and it made our room more dusty, we couldn't take a quick nap before exploring Baguio. To make it worse we couldn't even use our own bathroom and we had to walk all the way to the other side of the hotel floor to our other family's room to pee. Our view was also pretty bad, on two sides I had a nice view of the wall, fortunately it had flowers. The other side was our neighbor's balcony. When we complained to the front desk, they gave us an even worse alternative just so we choose to stay in the room we already have so they don't have to "clean" the room when we leave. Other than the quality of the rooms, the hotel staff was pleasant and their common areas were very nice. I wouldn't t stay here more than a night and maybe check out the neighbouring hotels first in camp John hay

Disgusting hotel. There were cockroaches in the bathroom and stains on the sheets. Carpet is ripped and it smells like mold. Don't waste your money. We had an awful experience.
