As of May 2021, returning Filipinos and eligible foreigners entering the Philippines are required 10 days of hotel quarantine and an RT PCR test on the 7th day.
If tested negative, quarantine should be continued at home for another 4 days.
The list below has been updated based on the DOH inspected facilities list as of 27 May 2021. You can cross check the hotels here but I already did that for you ;)
Take note that the list is divided into Stringent (which is also suited for mandatory quarantine) and Mandatory Only.
✔️Stringent Quarantine applies to travelers coming from high risk countries (origin & transit) based on WHO's latest report, and for travelers with symptoms.
Hotels under Stringent Quarantine are also suited for Mandatory Quarantine
✔️Mandatory Quarantine is for travelers with no symptoms and did not come from high risk countries (origin & transit). Check WHO's latest report on which countries are considered high risk.
I took the estimated lowest rate for each hotel based on the Agoda price for June 2021 bookings. Please note that the price varies per day too and there are days when Agoda gives a higher discount or none at all.
This price is just an estimate for one person per night on various dates in June 2021.
I arranged it per city, and then from budget to luxury (highest to lowest), to make it easier for you to choose.

FAQ's
Can I take a Grab car to the quarantine hotel?
NO.
Only the accredited hotel's transport service and airport taxis are allowed.
The purpose of the quarantine is to isolate from the general population so interaction during this period is limited.
How much is the quarantine cost?
The RT PCR test with PADLAB costs P4000.
Cost of accredited hotel, transport to hotel and daily meals varies. Whether you will be allowed to order from GrabFood or FoodPanda depends on the hotel policies so check this ahead of your flight.
The cheapest hotel near the airport is Courtyard Hotel in Pasay. I paid and average of P529 per night in May 2021 (regular price is P750 but got a discount through Agoda) for a solo fan room with free breakfast (just bread, jam, coffee and they have free drinking water).
Other costs were P450 for transport, and an average of P300+ per day for meals.
I spent less than P10,000 for the entire week of quarantine (swab test, hotel, transport, food). This is the cheapest I could get. This was also back when the requirement was to quarantine for 7 days.
Expect to pay more in other hotels. The average price I see is around P3000 per night. Of course, those are more comfortable hotels.
Do I recommend Courtyard Hotel?
Only if budget is a concern. It isn't the most comfortable, honestly. My stay was fine because I was just focused on working online during my quarantine time (Wifi is okay but not for videos or video calls).
I also wouldn't recommend a fan room during the hot summer season. I stayed in their fan room on March 2021 when the weather was a bit tolerable.
Courtyard has an AC room for P1,180 per night but you can get a better AC room at another hotel by just paying a bit more. I heard from a friend that their AC room wasn't the cleanest
Look at RedDoorz or RedPlanet hotels, these hotels seem to be popular as well.
Can we order food delivery?
This depends on the hotel policy. I suggest you inquire with them before booking your hotel.
Some hotels like Courtyard do not allow food delivery and you can only order from their restaurant.
Here's the menu from Courtyard. In my opinion it was overpriced relative to the quality (it didn't taste good, IMHO). I brought some instant food with me from Germany so I didn't have to order from them all the time.
What happens next if the result turns out positive?
I do not have firsthand experience on this (thankfully!) but the staff told me that you will be transferred to a government facility and this will be free.
