Rapitan di Vasay is at the heart of Basco, it's walking distance to everything. The souvenir shop is just few blocks away from them, there is a convenience store near them and even the wharf going to Itbayat Island is just a walk away. The airport is only 5 minutes away - van or tri-cycle. Convenient? Yes! Rapitan di Vasay... More

I had a very comfortable sleep in the green bed on the the ground floor. Where do you get your pillows.? They were just right! The bathrooms were always very clean and spotless. The staff was always ready to any need we had. Food like the breakfast we had, was very good, especially the local dried fish. The only thing... More

No regrets at all for choosing Rapitan di Vasay as our base in Batanes. Three friends and I were fortunate to have booked ourselves at this centrally located and well-maintained place. The wholesome spacious bedrooms with comfortable beds, very clean toilet and bathrooms, spotless white beddings and towels all sum up to plus factors for this place. In addition, we... More

It is an easy five star for me. Me and my group were booking for a room downstairs as we were hoping to save on accommodation by staying all in one room. However, the gracious Ms. Yolanda offered us the two rooms upstairs for the price of the room we were trying to book. No requests. Just gracious hospitality that... More

I spent two nights with a friend at Rapitan di Visay in January 2013 and we really enjoyed our stay. The place, particularly the bathrooms, were immaculately clean, and the staff were extremely pleasant and accommodating and helpful about answering questions and arranging tours. The B&B is conveniently located in the center of Basco town in an old, renovated house... More

The location is at the city center. About 20 minutes walk to the Basco lighthouse. I was surprised that the toilets are outside the bedroom when we got there, but since no one was occupying the two other rooms. It seems that the entire house is ours. The furniture are very nice, some are antiques. The bed and pillows are... More

Our group of 7 travelers stayed at Rapitan di Visay in Basco town proper. While there are a lot of choices for accomodations in Batanes, I found this property very unique and interesting. From the reviews on tripadvisor, I was convinced that this is an ideal place to spend our 4 nights away from our homes. The house is originally... More

The first thing Tita Chita (the owner of Rapitan di Vasay) asked us when we arrived was "Why did you choose Batanes?" I said, "Why not?". Batanes has always been at the top of my bucket list. The people I know who have been there have all been raving about the islands beauty. I found the reviews of other travellers... More

Rapitan di Vasay was a very pleasant surprise for our family. Batanes was so far away from our home and yet at Rapitan we found a real home away from home. The added bonus was that we had the pleasure of the owner's company, Chita Acacio. We were welcomed at the airport by her cousin, Neo, and upon arrival at... More
