A Lovely Place on Santa Cruz

10.0

This place is very charming and worth the extra walk from downtown. Roberto is was very friendly and helpful. When we arrived he pulled out a map and gave us an overview of activities on the island. He also helped us arrange a taxi ride when we needed to leave. We would happily stay here again. The AC worked well and the beds were comfy.

The doors and window's don't seal the best, so we had a few bugs in the room (a handful of ants and such). There weren't many insects and this didn't bother us as the place is natural. I imagine this could bother some people however.

The accomodation, location amd most of all the people who run it. Gianna and her family are so lovely. Nothing is too much for her. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay.

Nice and imaginative place!

9.0

This is a nice place, well looked after and built by the host himself. The family lives on the premises and serve a good breakfast. Quiet neighborhood, a bit further from town, but walkable. Our room was perfect, we took one with a large double bed and a modern and cosy decoration near the pool.

Sobrevalorado

5.0

Tiene una linda piscina y un buen lugar para desayunar al aire libre

Lamentablemente nuestra experiencia no fue la mejor. La propietaria nos resultó bastante invasiva, ella y su numerosa familia vive en el mismo lugar, justo frente a la puerta de nuestra habitación, por lo que se escuchaba todo y sentimos muy poca privacidad. La habitación además es muy chica y la cama es demasiado pequeña para dos personas (y eso que somos muy delgados) Dos de las tres noches que arrendamos no tuvimos agua caliente y luego de varias excusas la dueña nos compenso con un 7% del valor... El desayuno se sirve tarde, incluso habiendo avisado que teníamos un tour temprano. Realmente lamentamos haber escogido este lugar para nuestros últimos días en Galápagos

Beautiful and unique place to stay.

9.0

Beautiful and unique room in the tower of a castle. Lovely common areas and pool.

Only reason to give a 9 is that the fire alarm rang 3 times the first night. Owner tried to fix it but it rang 6 times the following night... Naturally this disturbed our sleep a lot.
