I have a suggest, kindly separate the entrance to those who already have a advance ticket, second made additional asigned trapic enforcer, to the highway coz it was so dangerous to across, mostly to those family with kids, also why is it to expensive to ride on the hotair balloon? I hope there a way to lessen the price, thank you my family enjoy waching those sky diving events, and other,.

entrance cost is too much for P200. entrance fees are waived for those kids 3 yrs below, its not right. it should be 6 below, or you could have discounts. More marshals to guide motorists.

Please delete my name from your distro. Thanks.

– the eating area (tables and chairs with tents), are very dirty. no one is cleaning the area. if you look below each tables, it’s full of trash, food left overs and others.
– next time, i hope you can sched the hot air balloon show after lunch, not late afternoon
– entrance fee is quite high at P200 considering the over whelming number of visitors. Im sure you can make this lower and still you can get reasonable profit
– since this is a yearly event, I hope you can make a good preparation specially the parking because the parking is too dusty
_ this event is very nice, it was our first time to attend this. I hope we can visit every year

– not much enjoyed. But thanks for the experience.

I suggest that you consider putting a shuttle bus service from main gate to event area. Shuttle should also be ready especially during closing time as many others do not have their vehicles.

It was boring… poor sound system, poor maintenance, poor entertainment value, lots of waiting time, lots of dead air, could not appreciate flying of planes because there were a lot of kites flying around, shows should be distributed properly, must have a schedule of activities in the entrance so people would know what will happen and what not to miss… more celebrities/ entertainers to make the event more interesting and worth paying P200.
15. February 2012 at 14:26
It was fine, i just hope that eating areas are much cleaner, and more affordable activities aside from riding the very expensive hot air balloon and taking pictures.

Hi,
Complaints a normal thing. From what I read, sounds like an exciting venue to visit next year. Just as long as you listen to the basic but major complaints, “cleanliness”. Put your concentration on cleanliness, that’s it ! bye.

Yearly, the thought attending Hot Air Balloon Fest constantly excites me. From the stunt planes, crowd whoa’ing, wide variety of food, to the parachuting and hot air balloon flight, all are truly remarkable. However, some points really annoy me despite the fun experience.
1)Traffic flow and car parking should be given attention because of the bulk of people coming over for the event.
2)Litter was all over the place! I think it’s not hard to put trash bins all around. People would not hesitate to dump trash anywhere if trash bins are not available nearby.
3)Comfort rooms. I even doubted to call it comfort rooms, because i don’t see any COMFORT in them. Extremely horrible and terribly dirty! Gruesome smell reaches to some 10metres! This should be included in the Book of Records! People WILL get sick for this unsanitary practice. Your management should put up restrooms with proper drainage system and with personnel maintaining cleanliness. In any public area around the globe, SAFETY and SANITATION are highest priority!!!
4)All these leads to the VALUE for money. P200 entrance fee and P50 parking fee are way expensive, not equivalent nor even close to my expectations (and for most visitors).
Overall, i should say it’s 3 out of 10 if i am to rate the whole experience.

Hello, I had fun! The exhibitions were superb! I flew all the way to Philippines from Hong Kong just to witness this once-a-year event in Clark. There are some glitches though, which can always be improved.
1) The portable toilets (do I even need to elaborate)
2) It was too hot, I know this is unavoidable but there should at least be a lounge where guests can stay (air-conditioned). They can charge entrance fee but those who are willing to pay will be happy to see this! TRUST ME!
3) The schedule, we were not well informed of what was happening or what was going to happen. People like me who travelled across oceans just to see this event would not be amused to go home without seeing everything that was scheduled. There should be big screens everywhere telling people the updated schedule. Waiting was not really a nice thing to do especially when it was burning hot.
4) I suggest you provide guests with activities related to aviation because some people would like to increase their belongingness or knowledge when it comes to the Aviation Industry. Implementing various activity can increase our awareness.
I hope to see a better Hot Air Balloon Festival next year…

I booked my family in Clearwater and a friend’s family in Fontana. Clearwater made me pay for a room that was supposed to accommodate 4 adults and 2 kids, but would not hold 3 adults in a decent degree of comfort. Fontana made my guests pay P420 to use the watermark, when my contract with Fontana said P300, and this after they sent them back and forth from the water park to reception. Moreover, they almost turned away my guests because the confirmation number they put in the contract was erroneous. It was very embarrassing for me. And it seems these resorts cannot handle the large number of guests during the festival. Leaves a bad taste in the mouth. Not likely I will bring guests there again.

We’re much prostrated not to see the Hot Air Balloon flies since that is the main reason why we went there for us to see the highlight of the said Festival and only to witness the inflating and deflating of the Hot Air Balloons. We do not know if there’s technical problem or for whatever reason we just gave you the benefit of the doubt that maybe that night the wind is too strong…
But the most disappointing experience we had that day is your very poor service and unsystematic seating arrangement in the bus to which gave us VERY HOT HEAD that night(I thought it was a Hot Air Balloon Festival!? but it turns into a Hot Temper festival!? Fyi, I understand that seating arrangement was 1st come 1st served and so we went on the pick-up point as early as 6:00am to have the convenient seats as I have 2 kids to which I even paid for because I wanted them to have a comfortable trip. But how come on the way going back home the in-charge whoever it is give the freedom to other passengers who are sited on center seats to choose new seats? How stupid is your system? I presume that you’re not new in the business because even in a field trip your seating arrangement must be fix you cannot change it unless otherwise you wanted to have problem like what we have that night.
You should train well your personnel how to handle complaints and don’t just give a damn reason like “Sorry but we cannot do anything for now if there still other seats you can seat there instead”…I have kids and we’re very tired and prostrated and your people will just tell me to seat on the aisle because they gave away our seats….

It’s not worth the money and time the highlight of the show turns into a boring experience…not to mention the stupid experience in your shuttle bus next time better assigned sit # to avoid delays and fighting among passengers…
21. February 2012 at 15:10
There will be no more next time for me and my family mangitim ka ng sobra pag-antay sa flight ng Hot Air Balloon tapos hindi lumipad…
21. February 2012 at 15:13
ang pangit na experience…
26. February 2012 at 01:21
Very Dirty, untidy everywhere, poor assistance, too expensive, events were not followed as scheduled. Overall – it’s very bad!
