Guest Reviews

• Julia (10/5): Excepcional - La atención de Priscila y su marido excepcional, atentos a cada detalle, todo impecable, desayuno delicioso, dispensadores de agua disponibles a toda hora Todo me gustó
• NESTOR (10/5): - Todo
• Anna (10/5): - Nuovo B&B con stanze e bagno enormi. Pulitissimo. La colazione é ottima. I proprietari ci hanno accompagnato al porto per prendere il traghetto alla mattina presto. Abbiamo apprezzato il distributore d’acqua fredda sempre disponibile.
• Lara (10/5): Absolutely amazing hosts, perfect location, spacious and clean room - Amazing hosts with genuine kindness and a great knowledge in hospitality, great location (10-15 min walk to any restaurant on Charles Darwin street), exceptionally clean and spacious room and bathroom (air condition and fan available), and a decent breakfast To make the bathroom absolutely perfect and practical some hooks for the hand towels could be added but there were hooks for the bath towels.
• Magdalena (10/5): Great stay - The accommodation is in a great location — quiet and peaceful. Everything was very clean and well maintained. Dario was extremely helpful and friendly, taking the time to explain everything and making sure I felt comfortable during my stay. Highly recommended!
• Hermann (9/5): - Die Hoteleigentümer und das Personal waren sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Lage ist sehr gut, weil man schnell zu Fuß das Zentrum von Puerto Ayora erreicht und es sehr ruhig ist. Im Zimmer gibt es sowohl einen Decken-Ventilator als auch eine Klimaanlage. Die Fenster haben Fliegennetzte. Es gibt einen Safe und einen kleinen Kühlschrank.
• Seth (10/5): Incredible Hostal - The rooms and facilities are new, clean, spacious and a great value. The host, Dario, is a very nice person that gave great advice and treated us like family. His wife would make us to-go breakfast and he would even drive us to our destination in the morning sometimes so we didn't have to take a taxi or walk. He provided us medicine when my gf had a headache and he let us borrow his snorkeling equipment. I wish I could take Casa Galapagos with me to the other islands we are visiting. I only have one complaint if I am being nitpicky. The location is a bit far from the main part of the town where a lot of tours leave, but this also provides peace and quiet at night so you can sleep well. There are still several good restaurants within a short walk.
• Derek (10/5): - Everything. Hosts Priscilla and Dario know hospitality, and they are generous with their knowledge of these islands and of the islands' flora and fauna, and they are generous with their time. The very comfortable accommodation is in a new, smartly-designed building, and the daily breakfast is not to be missed. It’s a pleasant short walk to town, and there are great local restaurants and a specialty coffee roaster nearby.
• Katarzyna (10/5): The best stay in Galapagos - A very clean room, equipped with everything. Helpful and friendly staff. A special thank you to Dario. Quiet at night. Nice view from the balcony. This was my best night's sleep in the Galapagos. Nothing
• Ritter (10/5): - Modern, clean rooms. Hosts are very kind and welcoming. Very good breakfast.
• LAURENCE (10/5): Would go back if we had a chance. - The room was spacious, modern and very comfortable. The breakfast varied each day. The hosts were kind, thoughtful and helpful with everything. Highly recommend, everything was perfect. Nothing
• Michał (10/5): - Wszystko było super
• Michał (10/5): - Gospodarze są bardzo mili, bardzo się starają, aby pobyt był relaksujący i niezapomniany. Gospodarz udzielił nam cennych wskazówek, co pozwoliło nam lepiej zaplanować pobyt. Pokoje są bardzo przestronne, ładnie urządzone i super czyste. Klimatyzacja działa bez zarzutu. To był nasz najlepszy hotel w czasie podróży przez Galapagos. Polecamy go wszystkim.
• Suzanne (10/5): -
• Claire S.H. (10/5): - Very spacious, clean and comfortable room. Great bathroom and shower. Staff were very nice and breakfast was delicious. Good location, only a 5/10 minute walk to the centre of town.
• Paul (10/5): Excellent stay, best room in Galapagos. - The room was new, modern, large and very clean. The breakfast was very nice. Best of all, however, were the hosts, who were so very welcoming and accommodating. I've rarely had such good service, assisting us in getting to tours and so on. Great stuff!
• Victoria (10/5): Excelente lugar - La limpieza del establecimiento y por Supuesto las Habitaciones que son muy amplias y muy cómodas. La atención de Priscila y su esposo que nos ayudaron en todo. Ponen mucho cuidado A tod lo que hacen, incluso su fantástico desayuno
• Barbara (10/5): - Alles! Es war nach sechs Monaten Reisen durch Mittel und Südamerika die beste Unterkunft. Das Haus ist neu, modern, sehr hochwertig eingerichtet und es fehlt an nichts. Die Betten sind sehr bequem, es gibt einen Schreibtisch und ein Sofa in einem sehr großen Zimmer. Die Gardinen lassen kein Licht einfallen, so dass man gut schlafen kann. Das Licht ist sehr angenehm und geschickt angebracht, es gibt verschiedene Decken und Wandbeleuchtungen. Das Badezimmer ist groß und sauber mit genügend Ablageflächen und stabile Haken für Handtücher. Die Dusche hat eine Glasabtrennung und warmes Wasser mit genügend Wasserdruck. Draußen steht ein Ständer an dem man seine Sachen zum Trocknen aufhängen kann, sowie ein Schlauch an dem man seine Füße reinigen kann bevor man das Haus betritt. Schön, dass mal jemand mit denkt, denn normalerweise weiß man nie wohin mit den nassen Sachen. Der Garten ist sehr gepflegt und es gibt geflieste Wege zum laufen . Für alle zugänglich gibt es einen Wasserspender der sehr edel ist und sowohl warm als auch Kaltwasser spendet. Das Frühstück wird in einem schönen Raum serviert, es gibt Eier, Brot , Butter , Marmelade , Müsli, Obst, Kaffee und Tee, alles was man sich wünscht. Am zweiten Tag mussten wir sehr früh raus und bekamen eine kleine Tüte mit Frühstück für unterwegs mit. Das war morgens um 6 Uhr. Hervorragender Service. Die beiden Gastgeber sind unglaublich nett und hilfsbereit und jederzeit erreichbar. Als wir abfuhren kam der Gastgeber sogar mit zum Hafen um uns beim Einchecken zu helfen. Wir durften einen Teil unseres Gepäcks dort unterstellen da wir zwischendurch nur zwei Tage auf eine andere Insel fuhren und nicht alles mitnehmen wollten. Auch das ist nicht selbstverständlich. Vielen Dank dafür. Eine absolute Empfehlung und viel Leistung für relativ wenig Geld. Macht weiter so, es war wunderbar.. -
• Sabrina (9/5): 7 nuits sur Santa Cruz - Le meilleur établissement qu’on ait eu lors de notre séjour aux Galápagos. Très grande chambre moderne avec balcon, belle salle de bain et literie confortable. Priscilla et Dario étaient des hôtes aux petits soins et nous ont aidé à de nombreuses reprises avec nos activités et en nous transportant gratuitement pour nous aider. Très bon petit déjeuner avec chaque jour des aliments légèrement différents. Priscilla nous a même préparé des sachets petit-déjeuner pour nos excursions. La femme de ménage n’arrêtait pas de déplacer des affaires sans raison (e.g. câbles, affaires de toilette). Elle a même jeter mon sac pour vêtements sales que j’avais laissé sur ma valise avec d’autres affaires. C’était assez dérangeant.
• Janet (10/5): Recommend this hotel for comfort & location - Spacious and clean room. Owners are very friendly & helpful Breakfast can be improved but it is not bad
• Luis Fernando (10/5): excelente relación calidad precio - El desayuno bueno. Tenía todo lo que debía de tener. Atendido por la esposa del dueño, los dos muy simpaticos.
• Ritter (10/5): Sant Cruz gem - Large, nicely finished modern rooms with beautiful views. Very clean with some nice touches. The hosts are so welcoming and helpful, we really enjoyed our stay. Would highly recommend.
• Tukano (10/5): - This accommodation is amazing. The owners are very welcoming. I would stay here again next time. Highly recommend, whatever other reviews say is all true, I can only confirm.
• Anne (10/5): - Super netter Empfang mit Infos was man auf der Insel erleben kann. Toller Support die Touren zu planen! Das Zimmer ist richtig schön gewesen. Sehr groß und sauber! Wir haben uns sehr wohl dort gefühlt und würden es zu100% weiter empfehlen! Nichts
• Daphna (10/5): Highly recommended! - The rooms were spacious, nicely designed, super clean, bed was extremely comfortable. The hosts - Dario and his wife were the nicest, so pleasant and welcoming, always willing to help and make sure all is well organized also for our trip. We were sad we had to leave… Absolutely nothing! Perfect place
• Marion (10/5): traumhaft - Die Zimmer sind sehr neu aber abgesehen davon auch super sauber! Die Besitzer sind so so lieb! Sie geben einem Tips und helfen beim Organisieren von Ausflügen, Taxis usw. Das Frühstück wird frisch zubereitet und ist super lecker! Es gibt immer frischen Saft/Shake, Joghurt mit topings, Eier mit Bacon oder Käse, Brötchen oder Croissants und Früchte. Es war mit Abstand die schönste Unterkunft auf Galapagos und die besten Gastgeber! Ganz großes Danke an Dario, er hat uns am letzten Tag sogar selbst zum Hafen gefahren. Es gibt wirklich nichts auszusetzen
• Suat Göksu (10/5): Puerto Ayora'nın açık ara iyi oteli - Booking comla yüzlerce otelde kaldık. Bugüne kadar bu kadar komplike olarak hazır bir tesisle karşılaşmadık. Otelin sahipleri Dario ve Pricilla'yı kutlamak gerekir. Dario ilk karşılamada bize yapacaklarımızı anlatarak yol gösterdi. Pricila bize her konuda yardımcı oldu. Odalar çok kullanışlıydı, genişti, rahattı. Odada kullanılan tüm materyaller (sabunlar,havlular ) lüks markalardan oluşuyordu. Konum her yere yürüyerek 10 dakikada ulaşılacak kadar uygundu. Özellike Darwin merkezine yakındı. Priscila çok iyi bir işletmeci, çok pozitif bir insan. 3 gece kalmayı planladığımız otelde ilk rezervasyon anında 3. Günü bir başka müşteriye kaptırınca tek günlük rezervasyon yaptığımız otele bile Priscila bizim bavullarımızı bırakmamız için arabasıyla götürdü, yol üzerinde Tortuga plajı başlangıcında vedalaştık. Bu oteli Puerto Ayora'ya geleceklere hararetle öneririz ve bu vesile ile Dario ve Priscila'ya tekrar teşekkür ederiz. Sevmediğimiz hiç bir konu yok. Belki kahvaltı bir iki çeşitle biraz daha zenginleştirilebilir. Bu da otelin zaten sahip olduğu avantajlarına önemli bir katkı sağlayabilir.
• Frederik Tækker (10/5): Skønt ophold! - Virkelig rent og meget sødt personale. Dario som ejer hotellet med sin kone kørte os ved flere lejligheder ned til byen, når vi skulle på ture. Værelset var stort og rummeligt. Morgenmaden var god med forskellig frugt, juice, røræg og yoghurt. Kan varmt anbefale stedet.
• Javier (9/5): El mejor alojamiento de Galápagos! - El alojamiento está impecable, todo nuevo, limpio, el desayuno rico, tienen dispensadores de agua pero lo mejor Dario y Priscila que hacen que tu estancia sea lo mejor posible, muchas gracias! Todo fue perfecto!
• Chiranjeev (10/5): - Exceptionally nice and clean ! We wanted to stay there again on our second leg but unfortunately no rooms were available! We have stayed in multiple places most of which more expensive but not nearly as nice as this one ! It’s a bit of a walk to Darwin street but it’s great to be a bit away from the crowd as it’s nice and quiet It was so nice that it was hard for us to like the other places we stayed at 🙂
• Fabian (10/5): Spotless new rooms, excellent breakfast, and an incredibly caring host. Perfect base in Puerto Ayora.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ - Brand new, spotless rooms. Dario is an outstanding host, genuinely caring and attentive. Excellent breakfast every morning.
• Michelle (10/5): Exceeded ALL our expectations! - This place exceeded our expectations in every way. The room was surprisingly spacious, with an extra seating area and a large, well-designed bathroom. Everything felt new, clean, and thoughtfully put together, with modern fixtures like a rain shower, mini fridge, and a big-screen smart TV. The air conditioning and overhead fan kept the room perfectly cool, and there were plenty of well-placed outlets, including USB connections. We also appreciated their use of solar power and rainwater—nice to see sustainability done right. The hosts were fantastic: friendly, helpful, and spoke the best English we encountered in Ecuador, which made things much easier for us. If you’re expecting a typical “hostel” with crowded shared spaces, this is the opposite—it’s more like a small boutique hotel with 6–8 immaculately maintained rooms. It’s located in a quiet neighborhood, about a 10-minute walk from restaurants, bars, and shops. If you want noise, traffic, and nightlife right outside your door, this may not be your place—but if you value peace and space, it’s ideal. Some upstairs rooms even have beautiful bay views. Very comfortable bed and pristine grounds. Would absolutely stay again. If we'd had longer time to stay there...
• Dominik (10/5): Don’t wait- just book! - I’ve travelled to more than 50 countries and stayed in hundreds of hotels - this was one of the best stays ever. The owners, Dario and his wife make you feel like home from the first second. They go above and beyond to make your stay in the Galápagos Islands unforgettable - from sharing insider tips to helping with booking tours and ferries for fair prices. The room is better than on pictures. Very spacious, comfortable, clean and calm. The shower is warm with good pressure. The hotel is in walking distance to the city center, restaurants and the main attractions. Breakfast was also good and delicious. I 100% recommend this hotel and will definitely come back one day. You can really feel the love in this beautiful family business. Don’t hesitate and book! It was perfect.
• Harald Dotterweich (10/5): Perfect Place to stay on Santa Cruz - Dario and his Family have build an incredible place. High standard of Interieur and exterieur, beautiful clean, tasty breakfast and Dario does always care to Arrangeur the best for his guests. We would always book again and can highly recommend. Everything was perfect :)
• Paula (10/5): Truly outstanding. My easy nr. 1 pick for best hotel in Galapagos. - Everything just amazing. Great location. Very veeery welcoming host. Clean, comfortable. Felt like a home more than a hotel. I can only truly recommend it to anybody staying in Puerto Ayora. Price-quality ratio among the best I’ve had experienced.
• Lukáš (10/5): - All!
• Penelope (10/5): Wonderful place to stay in Puerto Ayora! - Location is very close to Charles Darwin street. Breakfast was excellent and the owner themselves prepare breakfast for their guests. Room is huge and very comfortable. I had an amazing time in Puerto Ayora! Thank you Dario, Priscilla, and Erika for being a part of my wonderful experience in the Galápagos!
• Jorge Xavier (10/5): El mejor hotel de Galápagos 10/10 - Absolutamente todo! Priscila y su esposo son los mejores anfitriones que la isla puede tener. Las instalaciones del hotel son modernas y el desayuno súper bueno. Sin duda me volvería a hospedar aquí, la hospitalidad de ellos fue excepcional. Nada
• Begoña (10/5): Una joya en Santa Cruz - Hotel maravilloso, no pensábamos encontrar un alojamiento así en las Galápagos, con unos detalles que hacen la estancia perfecta. Desde los jabones hasta disponer de smart TV. Habitación muy amplia y cómoda, dispone de terraza muy grande también. Hay dispensadores de agua filtrada y potable. Los dueños son muy amables dispuestos a ayudar en todo y además preparan un desayuno con cariño, huevos revueltos, pan con mantequilla y mermelada, café, zumo, yogur etc. No dudes en reservar porque es acierto seguro. Aún tiene pocas reseñas porque es nuevo, da gusto porque parece a estrenar. El mejor hotel en el que estuvimos sin lugar a dudas. Por decir algo, añadiría algo de fruta al desayuno.
• Liam (10/5): Fantastic accomodation, would fully recommend. - Let’s get one thing right from the start, this is much more than a hostal ! Dario and Priscilla are such genuine, helpful, lovely people who can’t do enough to help. Casa Galapagos is a new building, very well built with large, well equipped rooms and spotlessly clean and much needed air con. Rooms cleaned every day of our 7 day stay. Slept solid in large, very comfortable bed. Breakfast varied every day, fresh juice, cereals, eggs, bacon etc. yoghurts, fruit, fresh bread etc. Drinking water machine for bottle filling. Great advice on trips, tours and all the islands. 10 out of 10 from us. Nothing to dislike.
• Donna (10/5): Best accommodation of THIS trip and many more we’ve done around the works these past years. They should be very proud as - This has to be THE BEST accommodation on our Latin American trip of 5 weeks. Dario and Priscilla have perfected the art of hospitality! Perfect perfect generous room, fab breakfast included in the price. BIG ✅ It was truly perfect!
• Anja Maria (10/5): Ein unvergesslicher Aufenthalt! - Absolute Empfehlung in diesem Hotel zu übernachten!! 1) Zimmer: Die Möbel & die Verarbeitung des gesamten Zimmers waren sehr hochwertig. Zudem war das Zimmer sehr groß & geräumig. 2) Service: Der Zimmerservice war hervorragend, das Frühstück bzw. die Breakfast Box mit sehr viel Liebe zubereitet 3) Hotelbesitzer: Die beiden Hotelbesitzer waren unglaublich hilfsbereit & freundlich und haben wirklich alles dafür getan unseren Aufenthalt unvergesslich zu machen. 10min Fußweg in die Innenstadt, aber diesen Weg nimmt man für dieses Hotel gerne in Kauf.
• Ana Maria Delgado (10/5): - Fantastisk personale, veldig behjelpelige med alle spørsmål! God frokost. Rolig strøk, like utenfor sentrum av Puerto Ayora.
• Jacqueline (10/5): Excelente - Nos encantó la asesoría y ayuda que nos brindaron para gestionar nuestros tours y actividades. Hasta nos llevaron al muelle el ultimo día para que tomemos el ferry. Nos apoyaron con un breakfast box ya que el ferry salía muy temprano. Aparte de eso, las instalaciones muy bonitas y amplias. Lo único sería que no estaba tan cerca al puerto pero igual se podia caminar solo unos minutos y ya llegabas a los restaurantes y tiendas
• Martha M (10/5): Casa Galapagos tu casa - La limpieza y lo bastante espacioso, la amabilidad de los anfitriones hace que se sienta como estar en casa. La iluminación perfecta y cómoda.
• Rosanna (10/5): - La struttura e le stanze nuove. Disponibilità del manager. Niente
• Anxo Ll. (10/5): No busques más. Es aquí - Sin duda, el mejor lugar donde nos hemos quedado de todo Galápagos. La atención de Dario y su equipo es impresionante. Insuperable. Este es el lugar donde debes quedarte en Santa Cruz. Además, el desayuno está delicioso!
• Dany Mari P. (10/5): Superbe ! Bien mieux que sur les photos ! - Les chambres sont superbes (décoration contemporaine, sens du détail, matériaux de qualité). C'est la première fois que je trouve qu'une chambre est bien mieux que sur les photos ! .La propreté est irréprochable, le lieu est calme et le petit déjeuner est succulent. Dario m'a donné tous les conseils et réservé les taxis pour que je puisse optimiser mon court séjour au maximum. Il n'y a pas de service laverie mais on m'a tout de suite donné un conseil où me rendre si je souhaitais.
• Ashlee (10/5): It was amazing… it felt like home and Dario was such an amazing friendly host who was always there to give you amazing a - We loved that the rooms were spacious, clean and quiet and new. Dario was an amazing host. So knowledgeable, friendly and approachable. Nothing
• Teija (9/5): We had very nice stay at Casa Galapagos. - Very good host. Breakfast was great. Room was big, new and nice.
• Beate (10/5): - Very large rooms with great amenities. Exceptionally clean. Dario, the owner, helped us a lot with everything - including organising tours and dropping us off at the port in the early morning.
• Maciej (10/5): Miejsce i gospodarz warty polecenia, szczególnie na dłuższy pobyt. - Gospodarze: Dario wraz z Priscillą robili wszystko by nasz pobyt na noclegu jak i na Galapagos - był jak najbardziej udany. Wiele cennych rad, wskazówek, pomoc z dobraniem skrojonych pod nas wycieczek fakultatywnych - na wysokim poziomie. Nocleg w nowym budynku, apartament bardzo przestronny, wszedzie bardzo czysto. Łóżko duże, wygodne. W pokoju dużo naturalnego światła. Bardzo dobre śniadania, a w przypadku braku możliwosci skorzystania ze śniadań (nawet informując o tym fakcie na ostatnią chwilę) - dostawaliśmy gotowe zestawy śniadaniowe. Obsługa na najwyższym poziomie - stąd ogólna ocena 9,9 jak najbardziej zasłużona. Dziękuję Dario i życzymy wytrwałości w tak wysokim śwaidczeniu usług. Bardzo mile spędziliśmy tu 5 nocy i chętnie byśmy wrócili
• Ivan (10/5): Beautiful place, wonderful host! - Dario was helpful and welcoming from day 1; he treated us more like friends than guests. When we arrived, he sat us down to ask about our plans for our trip and made suggestions to help us streamline our itinerary, book great tours and avoid costly pitfalls. He was happy to recommend the best of the island-- foods, places to visit, timing for for tours and adventures--and he even made sure we were wearing the right footwear so nothing would get in the way of our Galapagos adventure. The hotel is beautiful and the room was immaculate throughout all our stay thanks to the very friendly staff. Every morning Dario got us fresh bread to accompany the delicious breakfast. The last day, he took the time to take us t the dock and even instructed us on what lines we had to make to board our ferry. What a lovely stay and a gem of a host. --- Darío fue servicial y acogedor desde el primer día; nos trató más como amigos que como huéspedes. Cuando llegamos, nos sentó para preguntarnos por nuestros planes de viaje e hizo sugerencias para ayudarnos a optimizar el itinerario, reservar tours excelentes y evitar contratiempos costosos. Con gusto nos recomendó lo mejor de la isla: comidas, lugares para visitar, el mejor momento para hacer tours y aventuras; e incluso se aseguró de que lleváramos el calzado adecuado para que nada se interpusiera en nuestra aventura en Galápagos. El hotel es precioso y la habitación estuvo impecable durante toda nuestra estancia gracias al muy amable personal. Cada mañana, Darío nos conseguía pan fresco para acompañar el delicioso desayuno. El último día se tomó el tiempo de llevarnos al muelle e instruírnos en que filas hacer para abordar el ferry. Fue una estancia encantadora y él es un anfitrión maravilloso.
• Nor (10/5): New, extremely comfortable hotel in Puerto Ayoro - The facility is new - very comfortable and Dario has been an excellent host. The location is on the edge of town big the quality of the hotel far exceeded the need for an extra 19 minutes walk.
• Juana Ana (10/5): Muy buena relación calidad-precio - Muy bien ubicado, limpio y siempre dispuestos a ayudar con todo lo que fuera necesario. El desayuno tipo americano, si hace falta te lo preparan para llevar. Muy recomendable Nada
• Maren (10/5): - Sehr schöne Unterkunft. Alles neu und modern. Großes Zimmer, große Dusche und sehr sauber. Angenehme und äußerst hilfsbereite Gastgeber. Jederzeit gerne wieder.
• Alexandre (10/5): Excelente lugar para alojarse en Santa Cruz - El alojamiento está muy cuidado, todo es muy nuevo, las habitaciones son muy amplias y todo está muy muy limpio. Darío se preocupó mucho de que estuviésemos muy bien en todo momento, nos ayudó y orientó con las visitas e incluso nos acercó al puerto el día que salíamos para llegar pronto al ferry. Fue excepcional, lo recomendamos a cualquiera que vaya a Santa Cruz. El desayuno estuvo muy bueno. Calidad/precio es un 10/10
• Marcia (10/5): Excelente lugar para hospedarse en Puerto Ayora - La amabilidad y excelente atención de sus dueños Dario y Priscila. Super serviciales, estando dispuestos siempre a ayudar, brindar recomendaciones y hasta ofrecerse a acercar hasta algunos puntos de visita. Las instalaciones excelentes, confortables y limpias. Sin dudas totalmente recomendable. Nada
• Mathilde (10/5): - Det var virkelig et dejligt sted. Utrolig flot og rent værelse. Virkelig god morgenmad og helt igennem sødt og hjælpsomt personale. Dario hjalp os med flere aktiviteter på øen og gav sig god tid til at forklare om diverse ture og andre ting at udforske på øen
• Terrence (10/5): - We booked two double rooms and everything was perfect—spacious rooms, very comfortable beds, large bathrooms with great showers, and a lovely balcony. There was honestly nothing to complain about. Dario and Priscilla, the owners, were exceptional hosts. They woke up early to prepare breakfast for our early excursions, explained everything calmly and clearly, arranged our ferry tickets, and even drove us to the pier themselves. Their thoughtful advice to safely leave most of our luggage with them while visiting Isabela Island truly showed their care and trust. Thank you, Dario & Priscilla — simply the best hosts in the Galapagos Islands. Nothing
• Jean luc (10/5): Magnifique , une perle rare - Nous avons tout aimé . L’hôtel est neuf magnifique. Les chambres très spacieuses très propres , très bien agencée , le balcon très agréable , frigo, grande douche , coffre , moustiquaire , tout y est . Nous avons passé trois jours magnifiques dans cet hôtel . Le pdj très copieux très bon. Le couple qui gère cet hôtel sont incroyable . Toujours une solution à nos demandes et d’une grande gentillesse . Nous recommandons vraiment cet hôtel . Un grand merci à Dario et Priscillia . Tout était parfait
• Tanya (10/5): Días de serenidad. - La limpieza, la dimensión de la habitación, el desayuno fresco y delicioso, la atención de los propietarios, los espacios, la comodidad de la cama y almohadas, la bienvenida. Yo soy una persona difícil, pero no encuentro defectos en nuestra estadía en esta casa.
• Molly (10/5): Perfect base in Santa Cruz - Everything was amazing! Beautiful room and incredible attention to detail from the hosts, including recommendations and logistical help with activities. We would definitely come back.
• Nicole (10/5): Ausgezeichnetes, kleines Hotel mit den allerbesten Gastgebern ❤️ - Für uns DER Glücksgriff und die beste aller Unterkünfte auf unserer Galapagos-Reise. Ich würde 11 Punkte geben, wenn das möglich wäre. Dieses Haus ist absolut zu empfehlen! Priscila und Dario sind überaus nette, hilfsbereite Gastgeber, die uns nicht nur einen äußerst angenehmen Aufenthalt geboten haben, sondern auch noch ein perfektes, auf unsere Wünsche abgestimmtes Programm zusammengestellt und für uns reserviert haben. Das Casa Galapagos hat große, sehr saubere, modern eingerichtete Zimmer mit bequemen Betten, wertigen Hygieneartikeln, stabilem W-LAN und einem sehr guten Frühstück. Beide sprechen fließend Englisch und bemühen sich überaus herzlich um das Wohlergehen ihrer Gäste. Von uns nochmals ein ganz großes Dankeschön für die tolle Zeit 🫶🫶 Nichts
• Quinty (10/5): Perfecto! - The room was very spacious and clean, with well working airconditioning. We had a lovely stay. Breakfast was great. The family that owns the place is just so nice and welcoming. They even brought us to the bus station when we left. The only thing we could think of is that sound travels really well to the room. We had de room on the ground floor, opposite of the kitchen, so that was a little bit noisy in the morning. But that’s a minor thing on such a lovely stay!
• Diego (10/5): Un lugar para volver - Me gustó mucho sus instalaciones, las habitaciones, ubicación, tranquilidad, el desayuno y el tremendo trato amable del personal. Absolutamente nada. Todo estuvo perfecto
• benjamin (10/5): - Priscilla et Dario sont d’une gentillesse exceptionnelle. Plus qu’un simple hôtel, Casa Galápagos est un véritable lieu d’accueil où l’on se sent comme à la maison. Ils sont aux petits soins pour leurs hôtes, toujours disponibles, attentifs et ravis d’aider, que ce soit pour des conseils, des excursions ou l’organisation du séjour. Une adresse que l’on recommande sans hésiter à Puerto Ayora.
• Nicola (10/5): - La struttura e sopratutto la gentilezza del proprietario
• Maria (10/5): -
• Hyeon (10/5): 흠 잡을 데 없이 완벽한 숙소 - 숙소가 신축이라 진짜 깨끗하고 엄~~~~청 넓어요 방 내부도 그냥 호텔입니다👍🏻 어매니티도 다 좋은거 쓰시고. 매일매일 어지른게 미안할 정도로 청소랑 정리 진짜 깔끔하게 해줘요. 에어컨, 실링팬 둘다 있어서 짱시원하고 (근데 창문 열어놓으면 별로 덥진 않아서 거의 안 틀었어요) 푸에르토 아요라 완전 중심가에서는 15분 정도 떨어져 있긴한데 4일 지내는 동안 딱히 불편하진 않았어요. 오히려 조용해서 밤에 자기 좋았습니다. 조식도 잘 나오고 원하는 시간에 맞춰 준비해줘요. 그리고 일찍 떠나서 조식 못 먹는날은 항상 도시락을 싸줬어요. 투어나 페리를 타야하는 날은 항상 항구에 데려다 주기도 했구요. 그리고 심지어 제가 숙소에 물건을 놔두고 체크아웃한 뒤 보트에 타버렸는데 택시로 물건을 보내서 선장님을 통해서 전달해주기도 해서 진짜 감사했어요…! 정말 흠 잡을 데 없이 완벽한 숙소이고 호스트입니다!! -
• Katarzyna (10/5): Amazing, comfortable, professional - - outstanding hospitality (the owners were helpful with planning our tours, helped to book the ferry/taxi) - clean/spacious/new facilities - delicious breakfast and possibility for packed breakfast - lovely gifts (bag/chocolate/pen/beverages) - water dispenser available for free - good contact with owners (via WhatsApp, they were answering very promptly) I wish to have them in San Cristóbal as well :) Very small detail, the bathroom’s air circulation is very slow
• Thimo (9/5): Schönes Hotelzimmer für fairen Preis - riesiges Hotelzimmer, super Zimmerservice, extrem zuvorkommende Gastgeber (die jeden Wunsch erfüllt haben und uns Tipps für den Aufenthalt gegeben haben), Frühstück wird frisch zubereitet
• Artur (10/5): EXCELENT! - An absolutely wonderful hotel. One of the best in my dozens of trips in terms of atmosphere. A unique, family-like atmosphere. We felt well-cared for, the hosts were always helpful. We felt like family! I highly recommend it; it was phenomenal! Nothing, everything was ok
• andreas (10/5): Excelente, não poderia ser melhor! Pode alugar sem nenhuma sombra de dúvidas!!! - Gostamos de absolutamente tudo, foi uma experiência excelente! Foi, sem dúvida, a melhor hospedagem que tivemos em Galápagos. Os quartos são novos, aconchegantes, a cama é muito confortável e o chuveiro é ótimo. Achamos a localização excelente bem próximo ao centrinho, 5 minutos a pé da rua principal, mas longe o suficiente para garantir uma noite tranquila de sono em total silêncio. O Hostal também oferece um café da manhã bom, com ovos, frutas, sanduíche e outros itens. Mas o grande destaque, para nós, foi o atendimento. Sem palavras para o Dario e a Priscila: eles nos ajudaram em absolutamente tudo, desde a escolha dos passeios, deslocamentos para outras ilhas e até quando minha namorada ficou doente. São pessoas fantásticas, dá para ver que fazem o trabalho com muito carinho e dedicação, e isso aparece em cada detalhe do lugar e do serviço. Se você está cogitando reservar este Hostal, não tenha dúvidas: pode reservar tranquilo, será uma ótima escolha!!!! Muito obrigado por tudo, Dario e Priscila e parabéns pelo local e serviço prestado!
• Magnus (10/5): - Vi har rejst 1.5 måned rundt i Ecuador, og dette er uden tvivl vores bedste ophold. Det venlige værtspar var meget imødekommende og hjælpende med alt fra aktiviteter, restaurantanbefalinger, transport og færgebilletter. Selve værelset var dejligt stort og altid super rent, da der var rengøring hver dag. Huset ligger også i et roligt område, hvor der er dejligt stille. Den hjemmelavede morgenmad var også super lækker og sund. Dette er er ophold vi sent vil glemme. Stor kudos til Dario og hans kone for at gøre vores ferie på Santa Cruz endnu bedre. Tak.
• Maudie (10/5): Excellent - Dario and his wife were very kind and very helpful. Responded very quickly for questions on WhatsApp and gave many options for sightseeing/ restaurant recommendations/ information in general. Also, rooms were very clean and hotel was the nicest place we have slept in past 10 weeks in South America (very good shower, bed, Netflix tv, balcony to chill , great breakfast). Also the location was good, a very nice and beautiful part of town. Overall, regret not staying here longer, definitely recommend!!:) Nothing! Everything was really great
• Efrat (10/5): Perfect, beyond expectations. - Extra helpful hosts, Super clean, New, Comfortable, Spacious I don’t have the words to express my appreciation. I would like to give 11 ! Not only 10 :-)
