    Lovely lovely staff! The kitchen was well equipped and the free bananas and fruit from the tree was a lovely extra perk! Snorkels were a great price to rent (worth doing!). The shower was great and the fan provided was very helpful. We had a lovely stay here! 10min walk from main street but you pass some great Panderias and Empanada spots!

    We had a corner room with only one window so not very good ventilation - shower not always warm water so had cool to cold showers .

    Maria was amazing and we got to try her figs and pomegranate from her trees in yard - walk was ok in a decent neighborhood - we felt safe walking back after late dinner - we had use of a fan to stay cooler at night - we knew we only needed a clean place to sleep as we would be out all day so the room fit our needs but it was basic and budget style so if you like fancier this would not be your pick. It was a 10-15 minute walk to the main area but we like to walk .

    Host was excellent! I requested something for my partners birthday and there was chocolates and balloon on arrival, it was really lovely! Thank you 😀Great double room and was even better than the pictures. Good that we could refill our water bottles and they had snorkels to rent at a very good price and also a kitchen we could use.

    Great place to stay. Host is so kind and helpful. We were able to hire snorkels and bikes from here which was really useful, and there is access to a well stocked kitchen. Accommodation is a bit further out than some places on the island but a nice, easy walk! 100% recommend

    It is about a 15 minute walk from the main town area but this didn’t bother us at all as we’re happy to explore a bit!

    Absolutely wonderful host Christina. She stored our bags free of charge for us for 2 nights while we visited Isabela. Lovely hostel with beautiful garden. Great shared kitchen. Great value for the Galápagos.

    About 20 minutes on foot from the center, but by taxi for 1,5$ you can go everywhere in town.

    The lady owning the place is just probably the most genuinely kind person we've met in the Galápagos. Always really helpful she help us book the ferry to Isabela and had the ticket brought to us, we asked her to try one coconut from her garden and she opened one for us. We could leave our backpacks there after check out and once back she let us quickly shower and change our clothes. The rooms are modest, but perfect for the price, have everything you need (included a fan). You can rent snorkel gear for a reasonable price. Highly recommended!

    The location was slightly far from the bus (20 minute walk). No AC which can make it slightly uncomfortable when it's hot - the owners gave us a second fan to help :)

    Nice garden - kitchen available - lovely people who own it. The perfect place to spend a night or two.

    Wifi is very fast in the kitchen area and where most of the rooms are, but at the one room we had (left side of the reception) it was unusably slow and so weak that our devices dropped out from time to time.

    Clean place, very friendly staff, good vibes. The place is located at a quiet corner of the town and the city center is reachable by foot within 10 minutes. I would recommend this place to friends and come here again.

    We couldn't get a hold of anyone at the reception to open the door but a kind local pushed the door open for us. We walked in and we finally found the reception person

    The room was huge and it had a bathroom inside. The shower had hot and cold settings, I was not expecting that, it was a nice plus. The bathroom was small but functional. The WiFi was fast! It was Starlink so we could watch YouTube and upload IG stories

    We did not have warm water (we were only there for one night so cant say if it is always like that) and the bed was quite hard in our opinion.

    We loved the calmness of the area and kindness of the host! The room was also super spacious!
