WILDLIFE Our Subic Nests are surrounded by the rainforest, and are home to a variety of animals such as monkeys, bats, insects, birds and reptiles such as the very harmless gecko. While we can't guarantee total control of the wildlife, please reach out to us if you feel uncomfortable if they do wander inside your Nest, and we'll try to have this addressed in the soonest possible time. DISCOUNTS Our guests often regret not booking longer, so we've added in discounts for stays of 2 nights or more. The longer you stay, the bigger the discount. Treat yourself to that extra day! DAYTIME GUESTS We charge a daytime guest fee of P500 per guest. Please let us know if you will be entertaining guests in our Nest. CONDENSATION Due to the green roof we have installed on the house, and the high humidity in the area, when the air conditioners are on during the rainy season, condensation collects on the walls and ceiling of the bedrooms. To avoid this happening, we suggest guests limit the use of air conditioners, open the windows, and enjoy the cool rainforest air. SHOWER There is only one bathroom, and large groups tend to splash a lot! The shower design is not the best for messy bathers, so some water sometimes ends up on the wrong side of the bathroom. WORKSHOP We have a small workshop in the corner of the house, near the road. You may hear some minor work going on there in the weekdays, but it’s mostly used for storage. THE HOUSE Our home is an old Navy stilt house. The entire house is split into 6 AirBNB units. The house may be old, but it was built by the US Navy to withstand air raids. It's extremely sound, and newly renovated. REBOOKING In line with our firm cancellation policy, we do not allow rebooking less than 2 weeks before your stay. CLEANING AND SHEET CHANGES In our effort to reduce unnecessary use resources, cleaning and sheet changes are conducted every 3 days for longer stays. Should you want your sheets to be changed daily, this can be arranged for an extra cleaning fee. ACTIVITIES Subic has great activities for all types of groups and individuals.
