How do you know all this about Manila?

We keep a curated set of 270 stays in Manila and re-check them over time, rather than repeating whatever a booking site happens to show today. Connection speeds are what each place and its guests report, none of them independently measured, so read them as indicative rather than lab-tested. 87 of the 270 carry no reading at all, and unmeasured is not the same as slow. Prices are the advertised monthly rate, before any discount a host offers. Reviews are counted rather than summarised, and quotes appear word for word, attributed to a stay and a date rather than to a person. Every figure here was computed on 12 August 2026.

Stays in Manila, Philippines

Manila offers a warm climate year-round, with temps typically between 25°C–32°C (77°F–90°F), and a lively café culture that's great for remote work. It's more expensive than other Philippine cities but safer and has better walkability, sitting in UTC+8, making it decent for EU but not ideal for US East Coast communication.

Also in Philippines: Cebu City and Siquijor.
