Black Beach House

Ingrid fantástica, muy familiar y en la misma playa.

Rony was an excellent host - he'll show you all round the very small town and explain how you can make the most of your precious time there, by recommending amazing snorkeling spots (with turtles, penguins, sea lions pelicans and so many fish ofc) beautiful hikes, telling tales of the islands fascinating and quite dark history... it's honestly such a magical place. The house is right on the beach with amazing walks, a little bar at the end of the gorgeous garden pops up at sunset, gathering the few very relaxed visitors for an hour or two of appreciation and cocktails before dinner at one of the very welcoming restaurants. You can cook your own food of course, if you want to. There's a big kitchen space and a table in the lobby (with great acoustics btw) and a selection of books for lazing the day away in a hammock under the trees. The wifi is amazing for those who have to work (like me) or want to call friends and rave about how amazing it is. I had such a beautiful time here, would highly recommend.

That I had to leave.

The place is incredible! Just on the beach and great snorkeling 🤿 Perfect place to relax and enjoy Galapagos. The kitchen is well equipped and there is plenty of space. Ingrid is super friendly and such a great host, we loved her ❤️ We booked only one room but she let us use the other room as well, because no one was there at that time.

Black Beach House and La Floreana in general is a perfect place if you'd like to have a calm, pleasant stay in the beautiful, wild Galapagos surrounding. It is all so peaceful and you can have a picturesque walk along the coast, snorkel with turtles or hike the inland forest. I loved the house and the location, and the owner! Ingrid is really pleasant to talk to and she saved me with a sandwich upon my arrival! That was sooo nice :)

Everything was great. The only problem is to get to the island but Ingrid can provide you with a contact to a person who knows the exact ferry schedule, and it is all easy from then on.

Our host Ingrid could not be there in person, but she responded to all my questions super quick on WhatsApp and her sister Erika welcomed us instead. She was so helpful and friendly, brought us fresh fruit and even something to help me when I had a cold. The location of the house is incredible (directly at the beach and super quiet) and it has everything you need, even a very friendly gecko living in the house :)

It would be nice if it was a little bit cleaner (lots of dust and spider webs), especially the kitchen area and supplies. There were 2 cockroaches but I think this can't be avoided on a remote island on the beach. The house is being expanded with a second floor at the moment, so there is some building work going on and maybe it won't be as secluded and quiet in the future.

Ingirid was lovely and happily flexible with us changing dates to stay due to ferry's etc which we really appreciated. She was waiting for us when we arrived and showed us some important places in the town (restaurants, bakery, bus stop etc). Room was very clean, bed was comfortable and air con worked well. Beautiful spot right on the beach and free bustling snorkeling area nearby where we were often the only people there. Would love to go back and stay again. So peaceful

Would have been nice to know about booking ferry's with more notice as we didn't realise they didn't run every day and ended up missing a night of our stay (we weren't charged for this).

Wonderful spot, right by the beach. Ingrid is an attentive host, and worked hard to ensure a tour to Post Office went ahead, rounding up people from other hotels to take part. She also gave a tour of the village, ensuring we knew where to get supplies. Make sure you bring a little food with you, as the shops and restaurants open fairly sporadically. Basic rooms, but everything you need, including air conditioning, and a small bar in the beautiful garden open in the afternoons.

The water needs boiling before drinking on the island, which isn't a problem as there is a kitchen here, but perhaps adding some bottles to store the water in while it cools would be useful. We had a fridge full of pans!

Very relaxing. Comfortable bed. Ensuite bathroom with hot water. Kitchen. WiFi. Hammocks. Right on the beach. Helpful and friendly manager. Peaceful stay (most of the time).

Construction work was going on at random times... drilling and banging, stomping overhead as the owner seems to be adding a floor. It kind of ruined a few mornings/ afternoons. Please do the work when you don't have bookings!

I could hear the waves

I did not know I would be sharing my private villa with strangers!!! I would not have stayed here had I known.

beautiful on the beach

loved everything
