Book Laak hotels

2nd best time staying here.

The location of the hotel is good. Easy access on foot to several eating spots. The room is basic but clean. Aircon was a tad noisy to have uninterrupted sleep. The bathroom was basic too and could do with a shower enclosure or at least curtains to keep the rest of the bathroom dry. A shelf for toiletries would be useful to keep them dry. And the tiles in the bathroom need a good scrub! It seems overlooked for a long time.

Very nice hotel. I always stay here while in Tagum

The hotel itself offers a clean, comfortable room with excellent housekeeping services, making for a mostly pleasant stay. The small rooftop terrace pool is a nice facility. While the American breakfast was acceptable, it was insufficient and additional food was charged, and the other breakfast options were limited, of poor quality, and also insufficient. The need to order extra items led to additional charges, which seemed excessive, with a 100-peso fee per item delivered to the room. The hotel seemed peso pinching and claimed the room service charge was clear and part of hotel policy but no common sense charging was applied with 1700 pesos charged for 4000 pesos of items delivered during the week. Often the room Service Charge well exceeded the cost of the item. Beware ordering a cup of coffee. No tea or coffee making facilities in room. The experience was further marred by an unfortunate billing dispute; staff were unhelpful and even made a late-night call on the day before checkout regarding the bill at 1.15am. They then proceeded the guest’s passport until the charges were settled or agreed felt unnecessary and intrusive. While the room itself was enjoyable, the experience was soured by these extra fees and billing issues with front desk having little autonomy or common sense approach simply referring to signage and hotel policy . In the future, I’d recommend Big 8 Hotel or similar for a better value buffet breakfast with far more options and fairer charging .

I was here for 24 nights and it was an overall fantastic stay. The staff are very friendly and very helpful. The rooms were clean and promptly serviced when required. I would highly consider making this hotel my regular for when I visit Tagum.
