Very nice room with good view

It’s a walk to the center but the center is very busy so that isn’t even that bad

We loved the location, calm neighborhood, magnificent view of the river and volcano. The kitchen is fully equipped, spacious and clean. The rooms and bathrooms are clean and the beds are very comfortable. The host is very welcoming. The place is great for single travelers as well as families. We really recommend it!

It is a little far from the center but it is well worth it for the beautiful scenery and the quiet sleep.

Beautiful view of the valley below Banos. Also, there's a dog and a cat on the property, which always cheers things up. The property certainly has potential, but as of now it definitely isn't living up to it.

We were not given the room I had understood we had booked, and were curtly told the room we had seen photos of was unavailable. The room we stayed in was far too cramped for four people, consisting of a double bed and two different sets of bunk beds smashed into a relatively small room. The bathroom was dirty, with dead bugs in the shower and an unclean floor, as was the tiny kitchenette. The property isn't near anything of interest in Banos. We had a brief stay and left as early as we were able in the morning.

had a beautiful view of the river from outside our window. it was a very quiet location. private parking. owner was helpful.

sadly when we arrived the toilet was dirty still and towels left from the people before. at the time of our stay there was no water so we had to wait until 7pm for any water.. and then another hour for hot water. the owners tried their best to fix the issue. it was just inconvenient we had been caught in the rain all day and couldn’t shower or use any water (sink, toilet, shower)

Each room has its own kitchen en the view is nice.

The host made us feel uncomfortable, the room wasn’t very clean. It’s a little out of town but walkable, but my partner almost got bit by one of the street dogs so we didn’t want to walk anymore after the first day.
