It was a last minute reservation I made for my family. We were to drive from south of mindanao to the northern part of the island and decided to stay overnight in Bukidnon specifically in Dahilayan (After suggestions from several friends and relatives to not miss seeing the place) . Since we were not familiar with the area, Pinegrove Mountain Lodge seemed to be the perfect choice to stay for the night since it is within the Dahilayan property. We felt lucky to be able to get the last two rooms available on the date that we will be there. The pictures of the rooms in their website looked nice and clean- very decent. We arrived in Dahilayan around 7pm exhausted after a long drive and ready to hit the bed. My niece and I got the room in the lower floor of the main building, room # B3 ( the last room to the right side and closest to the emergency exit) to be precise.As soon as we entered the room the site and smell right away spelled Trouble! What was supposed to be a restful and dreamy night turned into a nightmare. The room had so much molds and the smell was horrible that we slept with masks on. We also slept with our heads on the foot part of the bed since there were molds visible above the head part of the bed and on the headboard itself. The slots of the air conditioning unit where the air goes out were so dusty and also the table lamp. When morning came, I drew the drapes that covered the glass window and sliding door to open the latter for fresh air. To our horror, the flimsy white curtain behind the drapes was in tatters and so dirty! It’s so hedious, so disgusting, repulsive and hard to believe that a considerably “decent “ hotel put paying guests in a dump like this! On top of that our floor towel was like a leftover from a once hungry rat! No enough complaints could even ever get the management to address this very concerning issue. Thus this long review. I’m attaching some pictures for people to understand more how horrible our stay was and to avoid this place when you plan to stay in Dahilayan for more than one day . Very sad and so regrettable. Just be aware and be careful.
