No posted price list
Legitimate BGC spas always post prices. No price list = potential dynamic pricing or aggressive upselling.
Pressure to add-on during treatment
Reputable BGC spas offer add-ons at booking or at check-in — not while you're on the table and can't compare.
Price 'starts from' with no ceiling shown
"Starting from ₱800" can mean ₱3,000 by the time they add service charges, tips, etc. Ask for all-in pricing.
Significantly below market pricing
A 60-min Swedish for ₱250 in BGC is a red flag. Either unlicensed staff, low hygiene, or bait-and-switch.
No receipt or digital payment option
All legitimate BGC spas provide receipts and accept digital payment. Cash-only with no receipt = potential tax evasion and zero consumer protection.
