El Güis hostel

Staff is super helpful and kind! They helped with everything (hikes, scooter, laundry, snacks) and their attitude created very good atmosphere. Wonderful hospitality! They also cleaned the room and changed the linens and towels everyday, which hasn't been that usual in similar places based on my experience.

Rooms are quite basic and you can hear everything from the next door. I was lucky enough to spend a lot of time on my own so that was not a big issue in my case.

Odelba and her staff are extremely kind and warm people that really makes you feel at home. You are greeted with a drink and she helped us with booking scooters as soon as we arrived. The location is good and near some highlights on the island.

The bathroom needs an upgrade, but you get what you pay for. A lot of insects and ants coming in from the open gap in the roof but again, the entire island is filled with it.

Small hotel with friendly owner and staff. Clean , comfortable, good Wifi , chill out space and situated close to the main road of Balgue . The owner organised a tour guide for maderas volcano hike and also arranged a taxi to pick us up to go to moyogalpa . Great spot !

Nothing

The staff here are so lovely! From the minute we arrived we were told “our house is your house”, they were always so warm and friendly with every interaction. The room was simple and rustic as expected, no issues. Mosquito net was handy as being in nature there are a few creepy crawlies around. In the communal area there was a shared kitchen, several hammocks and a bookshelf. The staff emptied the bathroom bin daily and turned down our room on day 3 and provided fresh towels which was nice. The location was great, a short walk from the main street of Balgue (accessible by bus). The petroglyph area was further up the same street which was handy.

Not the hostel’s fault but we hired a scooter through their connection and while we had no issues with the scooter itself, they “forgot” to bring us our change and I’m not sure if we were overcharged, our fault for not being more on top of it.

Odelba est une superhôte, l'hotel est très bien situé. Elle nous a recommandé un super guide pour faire le volcan Concepcion Merci !

Odelba es una encantadora anfitriona siempre disponible para sus huéspedes. El entorno es bonito: flores, bananeras, plantas; muy verde.

Calidad/precio me pareció muy caro teniendo en cuenta que no incluye desayuno en el precio, pero tampoco se puede hacer uso de la cocina (no estaba suficientemente equipada y sartenes y ollas estaban absolutamente desgastadas hasta el punto de la toxicidad). Las condiciones de la habitación (durante el día hacía muchísima calor y las habitaciones comunicaban unas con las otras a través de ladrillos decorativos, por lo que todo se escuchaba pareciendo que tenías a la gente de otras habitaciones en tu propia habitación), muy difícil descansar por ese mismo motivo.

Cute family run hostel/guesthouse. Very quiet and nice cosy beds
