Guest Reviews

• Valeriano (9/5): -
• Richard (8/5): Good place and nice owner. Restaurants close by including a very good one immediately downstairs. - Responsive and friendly owner. Basic but comfortable and good value for money. Not exactly close to the historical center but a comfortable walk. There are utensils such as kettle, toastie maker and micro-wave but no access to a kitchen as such.
• Marina (8/5): Nette kamer voorzien van alles wat je nodig hebt. - De dame heeft op ons gewacht. Wij hadden veel vertraging waardoor wij pas om 24.15 aankwamen. Kamer was schoon en alles was aanwezig. Niets
• James (7/5): - Pleasant room and my own bathroom Not easy to find
• Ben (10/5): Recommended room in Malaga - Well appointed spotless self-contained room with everything you need including mini-fridge, microwave, crockery and utensils, fold away table, etc. Toñi was very friendly and treated me like one of the family. I'd definitely stay again.
• Sylwia (8/5): Wszystko OK - Spokojna dzielnica, blisko do centrum. czysto.
• Stefano (10/5): -
• Miriana (7/5): Tutto sommato tutto bene! - La posizione ottima, zona tranquilla ben servita dai trasporti. Il proprietario è stato gentile ad aspettarci fino a tardi. Letto confortevole. Manca l’aria condizionata. Stanza condivisa in un appartamento.
• Ewa (9/5): Krótki pobyt - Przemiła gospodyni. Wszystko wytłumaczyła i pokazała z czego można korzystać. Pokój położony w bliskiej odległości od dworca autobusowego i metra, którym można dojechać na lotnisko. Niedaleko do plaży jak i głównych atrakcji turystycznych.
• Carmen (10/5): Recomendable 100,% - La atención de Toñi, laubicacion,la limpie,a y, bares y comercios en la misma calle, bus y a 10 minutos del centro con la ausencia de ruidos nocturnos de la calle. Perfecto con todo lo necesario
• Keller (2/5): The location of the accommodation is very central, which was definitely a plus. However, the overall - Location The location of the accommodation is very central, which was definitely a plus. However, the overall cleanliness was disappointing. The floor in the room was dirty, there were hairs on the ground, and the mirror had visible smudges. It also wasn’t clear to me beforehand that the room is part of a private apartment. The bathroom is shared, which in itself is fine, but unfortunately it was not clean either. There were water stains on the sink, and there were visible traces left in the toilet, which was very unpleasant. Overall, while the location is good, the lack of cleanliness significantly impacted my stay. I would not choose to stay here again.
• APOSTOLOS (6/5): - Η τοποθεσία πολύ καλή. 20 λεπτά από το κέντρο με τα πόδια
• André (7/5): Uma dormida mais acessível para quem quer visitar Málaga - Quarto com boas condições. Boa higiene e vista para uma rua principal. Trata-se de uma casa habitada, o que muito me surpreendeu e foi um pouco desconfortável. Existia um WC ao lado do quarto que foi utilizado tardiamente e com a porta aberta, fazendo bastante ruído.
• Max (6/5): Budgety, but it worked for me. - Location is not too far from the centre. Despite of a been on a busy street, I did not experience any noise or disturbances from outside when sleeping. It was hard to understand where to go first, as there were no clear prior instructions sent as to what to do upon arrival (and there is no external signage. This is just a common residential flat with the landlord living on prem). When asked beforehand, the landlord advised to contact him upon arrival, and when I sent a couple of messages via Booking.Com App - there was no reply received of any kind. I am not sure if this was due to a technical fault of the app. So, having arrived and still not knowing what to do, I rang the bell several times, there was still no response. So this was an uncomfortable moment as you can imagine. After waiting for 5 mins and trying second time the door was opened and the landlord let me in. The landlord then started to ask a lot of questions about me, which I also found a bit ackward, but OK. I am usually not asked personal questions, but perhaps he tried to look friendly or just wanted to know who he will be sharing the night with.
• A (4/5): Passable pour une nuit - La chambre était confortable, avec de nombreuses prises et accessoires (micro onde, mino frigo, couverts, etc.) L'hôte ne répondait plus à mes mails et appels malgré avoir confirmé mon heure d'arrivée. La salle de bain partagée n'était pas très bien nettoyée. Chambre avec vue sur cours sur l'immeuble d'en face.
• Antonio (10/5): - Alojamiento tranquilo, limpio, cómodo y bien situado. Una atención excelente por parte del anfitrión. 100% recomendable.
• Gabriela (10/5): A lovely stay in a home - Home stay
• Andrea (9/5): Valido! - Accoglienza speciale da parte della signora. Camera confortevole dotata di tutto il necessario per un breve soggiorno. Bagno nuovo di pacca! Niente
• Lucy (7/5): A lovely little en-suite double room near to town - A great little room! Really comfy beds, good temperature, immaculate bathroom with a hot and powerful shower, and useful to have some cooking facilities in the room (fridge, kettle, microwave, toasty maker plus cutlery and crockery). Fully self contained room/em suite/hallway within the host’s flat. Essentials provided incl shower gel, shampoo, loo rolls, plenty of towel. Felt much nicer than some basic accommodation we had stayed in beforehand! Great location, about 10 mins walk into the main part of town although shops, restaurants etc are also on the doorstop. Would recommend! The host was not expecting us, so we arrived to a slightly stressed lady and an unclean room. She was very kind and cleaned it right away, but it was obviously not the friendliest or smoothest welcome after our journey and was a bit annoying when we did arrive at the time we had said beforehand. Advise anyone to have google translate ready to use if they don’t speak Spanish.
• Deivy Alexander (10/5): -
• Manuel Vicente (10/5): Estadia espectacular - La atención estuvo espectacular Nada
• JORGE (10/5): con Antonia y David nos sentimos como en casa. - Nos gustó la situación pues está cerca de todo lo importante de la ciudad de Málaga. La atención por parte de Antonia (Toñi) fue excepcional, en el trato amable y cercano, los consejos de que visitar, donde comer, como ir, etc., sugerencias de que hacer, etc. Si volvemos a Málaga sin duda repetiremos en Casa Shiva, donde Antonia y su hijo David nos acogieron y trataron de manera excepcional.
• Konstantin (10/5): - Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Aufenthalt in Casa Shiva. Die Wohnung ist sehr Zentral gelegen, man ist in 15min zu Fuß in der Stadt. Die Gastgeberin war sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend, sie hat sogar unsere Wäsche gewaschen. Wir können es nur weiter empfehlen!
• Abdelkader (9/5): Voyage extra - Tout à fait bien situé. La peprietaire est sympa et serviable. Si jamais je retourne à malaga, je la contacterai pour la chambre. Un peu l'humidité.
• Umar (10/5): Wonderful and Welcoming Stay in Malaga! - Great care from Toni welcoming us in and making us feel at ease with our stay even being so late our arrival. Everything was very good. It was exactly as we expected it to be and not far from the city centre. A 20 minute walk.
• Mark (8/5): Prima verblijf gehad voor mijn bezigheden - Makkelijk te bereiken en net buiten het drukke centrum. Makkelijk parkeren met de motor. Goede eet gelegenheden vlakbij. Alles okay
• Katie (9/5): -
• Antonio Carrascosa (9/5): Lugar perfecto para descansar y disfrutar de la ciudad. Buen acceso y atención impecable. - El ambiente de tranquilidad. La atención de la persona encargada que estuvo pendiente de que todo fuera bien Nada
• Kenneth & Tania (6/5): Buena Ubicación - La ubicación es buena 👍 Creo q la limpieza debería mejorar.. y poner algún ambientador bueno q elimine el olor del baño q esta abierto..

• Jørgen Ehlers (9/5): -
• manuel jesus (8/5): Buen sitio para dormir - Anfitriona muy amable, cama muy comoda y muy buena ubicación, muy silencioso, recomendable
• Frank (9/5): Super Room for Super price! - Our expectations were exceeded. We received a very warm welcome. The service was excellent. It's just a stone's throw from the old town, and the price was fantastic. A little tip: There's an inexpensive restaurant right next to the accommodation. Much better than the tourist traps in the old town. We'd gladly stay again! Perfekt!
• Anass SELBOUK (10/5): Très belle expérience - Le personnel était vraiment sympa et accueillant. Je leurs remercie beaucoup
• Valverde Molina (10/5): - La cama fue lo mejor El compartir alojamiento pero no hubo problemas
• Sarah (9/5): - Das Bett war super bequem und das Zimmer hat alles was man so braucht. Die Gastgeberin ist super freundlich und herzlich! Ich habe mich sehr wohl gefühlt. Das WLAN könnte etwas besser sein.
• patrick (8/5): - Excellent rapport qualité prix,bon accueil
• Alois (8/5): - La Senora era muy cortés, despues he llegado muy tarde. La habitacion era muy limpio. Muy importante es la dirreccion: Es calle martinez maldonado 23 3 E. El 3 E es para sonar correctamente !!!! Alois
• Cas (1/5): Verschrikkelijke ervaring, helaas na 1 slapeloze nacht weggegaan. - De advertentie klopt niet met de werkelijkheid. Je huurt een kamer bij iemand die er zelf woont, het is geen hostel of hotel. Het ''Queensize'' bed is een houten 1 persoonsbed, met 1.90 meter kon ik er niet in liggen. Er is geen airco aanwezig maar een blower, deze volstaat niet. Het is zo benauwd op de kleine kamer ik kon er niet van slapen. Daarnaast zorgde de bewoner voor geluidsoverlast, ik was om 23.00 thuis tot 02.00 nachts werd er muziek geluisterd, gebeld en schoongemaakt (stof gezogen). Ik heb mijn verblijf na 1 dag afgebroken aangezien ik een hele nacht wakker heb gelegen, een waardeloze ervaring.
• Reda117 (10/5): Perfect - Excellent apartment. Clean and spacious room. Everything was perfect and also the host is very friendly and caring!
• Dondriver (8/5): - В целом нормальный вариант и приветливый владелец. Чисто. Рядом есть супермаркет и остановка автобусов. Владелец не отвечал на сообщения и звонки и не было возможности договориться о времени заселения. Пришлось ожидать почти час на улице. Учтите, что в комнате может быть очень жарко летом, а окно выходит на оживленную улицу.
• Joanna (1/5): Tuve que pagar otro alojamiento - La ubicación El huesped no contestó en toda la tarde, al llegar a la ubicación puesta no había ningún edificio por lo que seguí mandandole mensajes, escribiendo y llamando y no obtuve respuesta. Como no obtuve respuesta y me quedé tirada tuve que pagarme otro alojmiento para la noche. Finalmente ya casi de madrugada contesta el huesped diciendome que me alojase y me dice: " haber tocado timbre y te hubieran abierto". Al tener más días pagados procedí a pasar demás días ahí. Le pido la dirección y me da una dirección diferente a la que figuraba en Booking. Al llegar no se me pide perdón ni se busca una solución teniendo en cuenta que yo tuve que gastarme 65€ en una habitación a último momento porque no contestaban ni a mensajes, llamadas o mensajes de whatsapp y que encima la dirección dada era erronea; simplemente me dicen "haber preguntado dónde estaba la calle" ¿Cómo voy a saber la calle a la que tengo que ir si no es la que figura en la información del alojamiento? Al comentar que siguiendo la ubicación dada a Booking se me comenta que sí, que a más gente le ha pasado, es decir, que había constancia de que había algo mal en la dirección pero no lo han ni cambiado ni han hecho nada. No se me pide en ningún momento perdón por haberme dejado tirada en una ciudad que no conozco habiendo reservado la estancia con un mes de antelación. Cabe destacar también que la puerta del baño no tranca algo especialmente incómodo quedándote en una casa agena ya que no puedes ir al baño tranquila ni sintiéndote segura. Normalmente usando este tipo de plataformas, los huespedes días antes de tú llegada o el día antes te escriben para volver a dar información acerca del alojamiento y concretar donde se situa, para comentarte en qué horarios tienen el teléfono operativo o a qué otros teléonos puedes llamar; pero aquí el trato por el huesped ha sido completamente nulo aún sabiendo que tenía problemas con la ubicación del alojamiento.
• Aitor (9/5): -
• Eva (6/5): Dormir en piso ajeno - La cama es cómoda. El centro está a 20min andando. La habitación estaba bastante limpia. Es difícil aparcar, por si a alguien le sirve aparcamos en el parking San Juan, 20h 28€, bastante caro pero almenos no tenías que dejar la llave como en algunos otros que habíamos leído de la zona. No nos pidieron ningún tipo de documentación. El alojamiento no está señalizado, llamas a un piso normal, donde viven una señora y su hijo. El piso huele a antiguo y raro... La verdad que se nos hizo extraño. No hay aire condicionado, en su lugar un ventilador de techo y uno de pie. En verano debe de ser muy caluroso.
• claudio (8/5): - Proprietaria gentilissima aspettandoci nonostante fossimo arrivati molto tardi, camera matrimoniale con l'indispensabile quindi nessuna pecca Appartamento un po' datato
• Julio David (10/5): -
• Tobias (10/5): -
• Joanna (3/5): Nie polecam - brak klimatyzacji, głośny. - Łazienka do dyspozycji gości Brak klimatyzacji - jedynie tanie przenośne urządzenie z nadmuchem, zabrudzone , zapach wilgoci pościeli , pokój mały i zatłoczony, nie spełniający standardów wynajmu, raczej prywatny pokój mieszkalny niż hotelowy. Właściciel nie odpowiada na wiadomości. Główna ulica bardzo głośna w nocy, co uniemożliwia spanie ( brak klimatyzacji wymusza otwarcie okna).
• Annalisa (8/5): - Come essere a casa. Camera confortevole e pulita, letto comodo e bagno grande L' host risponde solo su WhatsApp o se chiamato, un po' di attesa al check-in, ma per il resto più che bene
• Raffy Not (9/5): - Pulizia, accoglienza, ottima posizione
• sonia (10/5): Tranquila - Localização, simpatia da sra da casa, limpeza top, recomendo. Nada a apontar
• denilson (7/5): -
• Alexis (4/5): Pas ce que nous attendions - La taille de l'espace sont nous disposions était bien. Présence d'une bouilloire et d'un frigo. Salle de bain spacieuse et bien Difficulté de trouver car il s'agit d'une chambre+SDB chez l'habitant et nous cherchions un hôtel. Chambre donnant sur le boulevard donc très bruyant. Hôte pas très amical/sympathique et parlant mal anglais.
• ferran (7/5): - Ubicación En malaga suele.hacer calor, se está bien en la playa para refrescarse.
• NOELIA (8/5): -
• DENIS (9/5): Málaga la belle ! - La proximité du centre historique, on peut y aller, on se gare et la voiture ne bouge plus. La chambre est très propre, la salle de bain est propre et est dans la chambre, ça est très appréciable, l'hôte est agréable. La chambre donne sur une rue très passante et bruyante, manque un climatiseur digne de ce nom. Pour ce qui est du stationnement, c est compliqué, quand on ne veut pas payer, sinon il y a des parkings pas très loin de la chambre.
• Eric (4/5): Larga espera en el portal sin respuesta - Habitacions àmplia y limpia, sin aire acondicionado 👎 Estuvimos esperando en el portal 25 min, timbrando, llamando y intentando comunicar con el propietario sin respuesta.(Llegando en la hora de la tarde solicitada y confirmada previamente) Finalmente me responde por whatsApp, subimos y el señor hace como si nada, ninguna explicación y tampoco se disculpa, pide documentos para hacer el check-in y muestra la habitación. Me pareció un anfitrión con poca amabilidad y poco hospitalario, a parte de la situación peculiar. La habitación no tiene aire acondicionado como se anuncia, hay un ventilador de techo que hace la experiencia sea un poco decepcionante 😕 Escogí está habitación por ubicación y la buena puntuación pero son valoraciones antiguas que no corresponden con la realidad. Creo que no es un alojamiento que repetiría y tampoco recomendaría.
• Debora (7/5): - L'host è stato molto gentile e ci ha permesso di poter lasciare i bagagli per quasi tutta la giornata in casa, così da poter essere liberi di poterci godere l'ultimo giorno di vacanza senza il peso di portarceli dietro. La posizione è quasi centrale e la via è piena di negozi, gelaterie e cafè, facile da poter fare colazione al mattino o semplicemente prendere un gelato prima di tornare in camera. La rumorosità della via...essendo periodo estivo , per il caldo abbiamo lasciato la finestra aperta durante la notte, che purtroppo affaccia nella via brulicante
• Angela (10/5): - Ho passato una notte qui ed è andato tutto bene. La struttura è a 10 minuti a piedi dal centro, vicino ci sono comunque tante cose utili. Il proprietario gentile e disponibile.
• Farinato (9/5): -
• Colin (6/5): Good location - The bed was comfortable and the room was clean and the water in the bathroom was nice and hot and the location was close to the bus station and town centre We found it difficult to find the property and were not sure what to do to enter the property from the apartment block entrance. We didn't know we had to press one of the buttons on the buzzer panel at the building entrance. We didn't know the owner couple and another person occupied the apartment and that we had a bedroom and bathroom in their apartment. The listing showed an air conditioner as a facility but there was only a ceiling fan and a portable standing cooler/fan that didn't cool the hot room. Check in and communication with the hostess was very difficult because she did not understand English and we don't understand Spanish so she resorted to typing on a translator on her cellphone and we had to do the same to communicate so it was very tedious. There was no dining table and no coffee. The "kitchen" was a tiny bar fridge and microwave and kettle in the room which made it very cramped.
• Roberto (10/5): - El trato y la estancia han sido perfectos
• Simone (8/5): - Proprietari molto gentili e disponibili, posizione centrale, posto pulito. Purtroppo non rispondono alla chat di booking (se dovete contattarli usate il numero che trovate sulla pagina e scrivete tramite whatsapp). La camera è molto calda anche se ti forniscono un ventilatore (a breve sistemano anche quello sul soffitto).
• Lara (9/5): A nice stay - We stayed at casa Shiva for a couple of nights. The property was very clean and tidy with all the comforts you need (towels, shampoo etc). The room is big enough for two people and we found the bed particularly comfortable. The owner is just lovely: she is a very kind lady who allowed us to use the room for one extra afternoon on our departure. Would definitely recommend!
• Miroslav (10/5): Great price/value option in Malaga - A very nice homestay with kind and helpful guests. The whole flat and rooms are clean.
• Ehenbe (8/5): Very good -
• Torin (10/5): A lovely room with a nice host and good price for central Malaga. - Very nice host. Friendly y muy simpatico. Very clean room and very nice and tasteful decor. I was only passing through for one night and left early next morning and wished I could have spoken more with the host. There is a lock on the bedroom door and all was quiet. It has a shared bathroom was this was acceptable and very clean. It was a little bit dark climbing the stairs and in the corridors but I used my torch on my mobile. A tip for others.
• Hagop (10/5): Good deal! - Everything was well prepared, cleaned, and the owner is really nice person and ready to answer any question and even giving tips if you ask for. Nothing in deed. Everything was great, clean, tighty, nice owner, good price and just a few Minutes walk to the river.
• Kyrylo (10/5): Exceptional -
• David (6/5): Pleasant - A pleasant stay.
• Mark (10/5): Fijn en voelde me welkom - Really nice lady, nice and clean accommodation amd a good bed Everything just fine
• Ann (6/5): Comfy and Spacious Room - Comfy Bed and Spacious Room. Great location, Malaga Central was easy to get to. The tea/coffee set was dusty. The walls were thin so you could hear noise from other rooms in the apartment, I still got a good nights sleep though. Host was still asleep during my check-in time, I had to be let in by someone else who lived in the apartment block.
• Todd (10/5): Perfect - Very comfortable, very clean, it had everything I needed. David was a fantastic host who went above and beyond to welcome me and help me in the city.
• Fouad (6/5): Pleasant -
• Sabri (8/5): Good - The room and the toilet were very clean and the location was good. Also when i come to the hostel at 3 am they recieved me well. The view of the window is not interesting
• Ilyas (7/5): Good experience and i would go back if visiting malaga again - The room is in an apartment very close to city center end near markets and restaurants. You can go walking to to most sights in the city and bus stations are close too The only thing tht could be better is the air conditioning because the room is only equipped with a fan and stand air conditioning that makes little noise and hard to sleep with
• Piotr (9/5): Superb - The apartment is located very close to the centre of Malaga. It is a very quiet and nicely maintained place and the room itself very clean and felt cosy. I highly recommend it. The sofa in the room takes too much place and seemed redundant.
• Covdav (9/5): Nice comfortable room close to the city centre (homestay) - Lovely host nice flat very comfortable room. All information and facilities required. It's a shared room in the flat but everything is accomataded for, nice clean and quiet. Location is perfect 10mins walk to the old town where you can enjoy all the restaurants bars and sights of Malaga. For me perfect
• Benedict (10/5): Wonderful - Very clean, lovely comfortable bed, very kind & helpful host lady, great location. Everything was perfect
• Bellani (9/5): Superb -
• M. (8/5): Nice. - It´s was a nice stage. C/ Mármoles.
• Svetlov (10/5): Exceptional -
• Florence (8/5): Amazing host - The host was very helpful and nice, providing extra help if needed. She organise a city by night to help me visit spots. Her apartment is very well located, in the City centre closed to most facilities. She is very clean, you can tell from all through the apartment and from the interior your would barely notice you are at the heart of the city. I would 100%recommend her and would stay at hers again. Thanks Flo The only thing was the very hot weather at the time of my stay. She has just a fan so it was a bit difficult but It wasn't her fault has they usually don't have the type of weather. And maybe the light of the room could be brighter, I suggest.
