Customer Reviews
Worst guide book Ive ever used - Rated Ive been using Rough Guides since the beginning, back in the 80s and this is by far the worst Ive ever used. We bought it because it was the newest available, but the Jens Peters book was far more accurate. Prices are out by over 100% in some cases, proofreading is dreadful and places are often in the wrong position on maps. We booked a hotel in Dumaguete on the basis of it being an 'author's pick', having been described as 'hacienda style with a swimming pool'. Our room turned out to be a windowless box, and the only place where there could have been a swimming pool(which obviously never existed) was a defunct conference centre. The Philippines is a wonderful country and deserves a good guidebook. This , most certainly is not it. No good - Rated I just got back from 2 weeks backpacking my way around North Luzon and Palawan. The book had nothing good to say about the town of Subic, so I skipped it, but everyone we met afterwards was amazed that we didn't stop to see the place. It failed to mention the best/only place to stay in Tabuk - the Davidson Hotel, a surprising omission. The cultural information/background was good, but this book put me off the Rough Guides and in future I will stick with "the other" famous brand of guide books. It may be printed in 2007, but seemed a bit out of date for me.
