Staff services are great! They’re all polite and approachable. Food is okay. The internet connection is disappointing. There’s a laundry shop outside (walking distance)-it’s cheaper. If you don’t want noise while sleeping maybe it’s good to request a room away from the street because the hotel is along the highway. We heard cars honking at night. We wanted to try the VIP KTV but they’re on renovations.
Old hotel.Room are old too. Need renovation. Buffet breakfast are bland and the same dishes most of the time.Reception staff not so friendly but the security guards are helpful and courteous

This is the best hotel in Tagum and we have stayed here a couple of times years ago when the place was still quite new.
The hotel itself is conveniently located and is quite clean and welcoming when you come into the lobby.
When we went to our room however, we found problems in the bathroom. The tap leaked all over the counter and the handheld shower head mount had fallen off and the hose was just wrapped around the shower control valve. There was also no way to get water flowing out of the handheld shower head. This and the faucet should have been repaired BEFORE this room was rented. This was very disappointing to see in a high end hotel which we enjoyed staying in in the past. When I complained to the desk clerk he just basically shrugged it off. It seems that maintenance is not a strong point in this place.
Breakfast was also included and although it was reasonably well prepared it was catering more to the Filipino taste rather than the western taste. It would be nice to have a couple of more items such as bacon and home fries.
Me and my fiance stayed here this october going into November and I can honestly say it was a breath taking experience, our main man Paul was our man with the plan made sure our room was nice and tidy everyday me and my fiance made sure to tip him good for his service. I definitely want to come back here someday soon.
The property looks good but inside the room is dirty lack of sanitation. Water supply not clean looks old bldg lack maintenance.

Was disappointed
Booked this hotel because it had a pool, even though it was more expensive. Upon checking in I was notified that the pool is closed until further notice. Was also told the phones are not working. Room was outdated. Went to the restaurant, which is supposed to be open from 6am to 10pm. It was closed. Also had to kill a few cockroaches in the room. On the plus side, the staff were super friendly.
Unless you get decent rate or you need to stay in Tagum probably avoid. Free breakfast is good rooms ok but shower looks dirty. Pool is disaster area. Dirty structures and broken pool coping. Little or no attention to maintenance as been performed since opening in 2016. Has the appearance of being run by chinese investors which have little regard for business upkeep.
This was my second stay and I will use Big 8 again. The hot water working was a major improvement from my last visit. As always, the staff was super friendly, helpful , and professional. Food was good, just wish that the bar at the pool had been open.

I really enjoyed my stay at Big 8 hotel. Accessibility and parking were easy and convenient. Their pool was large enough to enjoy with other guest. Workout room was adequately supplied with equipment. The best part was the staff. They were friendly,courteous and welcoming. I definitely will stay there again.
