Frequently Asked Questions
How can we support the work of Ili ni Gaia?
You can support our work by visiting us and staying at the I.N.G. Guest House. The income of the I.N.G. Guest House will go a long way in paying for our staff salaries and supporting our work. The first nine years of our work at Ili ni Gaia were supported solely by the funds of its owner. With our limited resources, our work has been slow.
How much is the rate for staying at the I.N.G. Guest House?
Our modern bahay na bato costs PhP 25,000 or US$ 500 per night of stay with breakfast. It accommodates a maximum of eight people. Guests may also choose to rent only the lower ground (for PhP 12,000 or US$ 230 for four people with breakfast) or only the upper ground (for PhP 15,000 or US$ 270 for four people, also with breakfast). Each has a separate entrance.
We provide discounts for a stay of at least two weeks.
We provide tents and sleeping bags upon request with no additional charge.
Is food available while staying at the I.N.G. Guest House?
Breakfast comes with the accommodation. For other meals, we can source food and drinks upon request.

There are also several restaurants within a three-kilometer distance from Ili ni Gaia.
