Guest Reviews
- Sergio (10/5): Amazing house to enjoy in San Cristobal - The property is huge, clean and with all the utilities and amenities needed. The entire apartment is for yourself. Betsy, the owner is really nice and helpful. She took care of us during our stay booking our taxis, renting the gear for snorkeling. She is amazing! Gracias Betsy.
- Naoki (10/5): -
- Jace (8/5): - Was nice inside and the lady who checked us in was very sweet/. No hot water and flies started to be prevalent after a few days
- Philippe (7/5): - Très grand appartement avec 10 couchages confortables. Un peu loin du port et des activités : 15 minutes de marche en côte pour arriver en limite de ville. L'appartement est un peu sombre a cause des arbres qui arrêtent la lumière au rez-de-chaussée.
- Jennifer Priscila (9/5): Tuvimos una Linda estadia y vacaciones. El hospedaje estuvo muy comfortable y nos encanto el patio - Betsy es muy amable, atenta y proactiva. Siempre tratando de ayudar y hacer pasar bien a Los turistas.
- Ruiz (10/5): Placentero - Muy buena anfitriona, y la estancia estuvo muy cómoda con todo lo necesario para habitarlo. Muy cómodo y de calidad cada detalle
- Rachel (9/5): Star Fish - Room was spacious although we were expecting 2 rooms but this was ok. Very clean and near all amenities. We were there 3 nights and it was nice to have breakfast included. Very good as checking out time was flexible so much appreciated Would have been good to have a bit more information on local things but was easy to look up main things
- Simon (10/5): Sehr gut für Familien - Unterkunft sehr geräumig mit drei Schlafzimmern, zwei Bädern, Wohnbereich und offener Küche. Die Küche ist gut ausgestattet und alles erscheint neuwertig. Kleiner Waldinnenhof mit Schaukeln vorhanden. Typische ecuadorianische Architektur. Insgesamt eine schöne Wohnung für eine Familienreise.
Die Lage auf der Karte am Rand des Ortes täuscht etwas, es erscheint weiter, als es ist. Zentrum in ca. 15 Minuten zu Fuß zu erreichen, ansonsten eines der Inseltaxis für 2-3 USD. Nachts sehr sichere Gegend (wie die ganze Insel).
Gastgeberin hilfsbereit und nett. Da private Gastgeberin, teilt man ihr am besten die ungefähre Ankunftszeit mit einigem Vorlauf über Whatsapp mit.
- Magdalena (9/5): - amazing host, everything amazing
- Francesc (10/5): UNA CASA ENCANTADORA PARA PASAR UNAS VACACIONES RELAJADAS - Betsy es la mejor anfitriona del mundo. El gato Tobías pide comida todo el tiempo ;)
- Rebecca Chaverri (10/5): Muy buena atención - Disfrutamos mucho de nuestra estancia en San Cristóbal el departamento es muy cómodo y con todo lo necesario. Mauricio fue paciente, conocedor, comunicativo, puntual, amable y confiable se aseguró de que mi familia estuviera bien atendida. Con su agencia Tortuga Travel nos fue de maravilla! ¡Muchas gracias por todo, nos encantaría volver. La parte de afuera se podría mejorar, con limpieza y algo de bancas para poder sentarse.
- Pamela (8/5): Nice, spacious apartment. - Very helpful host and spacious apartment. Basic accommodation.
- Caitlin (8/5): Spacious and comfortable stay - Clean and spacious, lovely cold air conditioning with a necessity in the heat. Host was very accomodating and helpful. N/A
- Sue (6/5): Spacious apartment with WiFi. - Each of the rooms were spacious and the two double bedrooms had their own en-suite. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking and eating utensils and we were provided with courtesy transfers. There was good communication with the owner. The outside space was useful for drying clothes but not suitable for sitting and relaxing. There was a lot of noise from renovation work in accompanying properties and the property was about 20 minutes walk from town, although taxis were very cheap.
- Jaynie (8/5): A comfortable and friendly stay - Place was exceptional in every way,
Kitchen well equipped.
Good location for the town and beach
The apartment had character and was clean
Comfortable beds and a nice home for a couple of days Water lukewarm not hot.
Would be good to have a drying rack for swim/wet clothes.
- Vane (10/5): A real recommandation ! Great place, amazing owner! - The apartment has everything you need, Mauricio the owner is super helpful and you can always reach out to him for any question about the apartment but also about the Island and everything you need to know about Galapagos (tours, taxis…). We recommend also his tour agency, we did the 360 tour and it was amazing. Everything was perfect
- Etienne (10/5): A quiet place to visit San Cristobal - The place was very clean and situated in a quiet location. Mauricio was very helpful and kind to us. We had air conditioning in every room, the kitchen was fully equipped and the bathrooms were clean. This is a nice place to stay in San Cristobal!
- Wtfatimehin (10/5): Mauricio was a great host and the wifi was amazing - Water provided
There was an Iron
very clean
Safe
Great host
- Wrknactor (8/5): Very good - This was a very large unit. In fact, Mauricio (our host) was surprised it was just for the two of us. We prefer a more "apartment-like" setting when we travel. There was a large kitchen, but to be honest, we didn't really use it. It did seem to have all of the needed elements, if you did want to cook a meal. There were two full bathrooms, with showers that worked well. They are fitted with small shower heads, with a switch on them, that heat the water, and do a surprisingly good job of it. Mauricio had a large dispenser-type bottle of drinking water delivered, and we went through much of it whilst there. There were plenty of clean towels, and the linens were fresh. The pillows were a bit of trial and error regarding comfort level, but we both found ones that we liked. There are three bedrooms with a variety of sleeping options available. To be honest, it was more of a dorm-like setting than we had expected. I guess, looking at the photos now, I should've realized it before arriving, but it did take me a bit by surprise. It just feels like a hostel. There is nothing wrong with that, and if you were a big group of friends coming to stay on San Cristóbal Island, it would be a perfect place to come and crash after a long day of tours. It isn't the most convenient location, compared to the beach, and activities, but it is only about a 12-minute walk. There are more than a few random dogs on the street, some of whom like to bark in the wee hours of the morning. They were especially interested in us when we had a takeaway bag of empanadas one afternoon. The apartment also got VERY damp, as one would expect with tropical weather on an island. It just required us to keep more clothes in our suitcase, to keep them from feeling damp when we put them on. We also used the air-conditioners (which were plentiful, and all seemed to work well), to keep the dampness down, as well.
- Gloria (5/5): Passable -
- Carlos (6/5): Pleasant -
- Giner (8/5): Very good -
- Rachael (10/5): Great, friendly place to stay on San Cristobal. Our second stay and will be coming back - The location is great.
The facilities are prefect
Great value for money
Excellent budget option Basic but had everything we needed. This is the second time we’ve stayed here
- Molly (9/5): Great place for a group vacation - The property was just as it was listed. Walking distance to the piers, restaurants, and the beaches. Plenty of room for the 7 of us traveling together. The wi-if was good and each room had an air conditioner. The host was very responsive with all our needs. I even made a reservation mistake thinking we had one more day reserved, the host was very flexible and understanding and allowed us to pay for an extra day. Even called us taxis to take us to the airport. Would highly recommend.
- Vsevolod (10/5): Excellent value house for group relaxation for its price - Great house for group vacations with everything necessary for living and a good location in a quiet part of the city. There is everything you need for cooking and relaxation — good wi-fi, cozy sofas in the living room, television, kitchen utensils, gas stove, blender, water cooler, and more. Nearby there are small grocery stores. The host was very friendly and responsive - he gladly helped us with everyday questions, we had a really great time!
- Jennifer (8/5): We felt at home at the Lovely Inn, there is no greater complement. - The Lovely Inn feels very homey and has all the amenities one would expect for the price. So nice to wake up with a fresh pot of coffee the first day. The hosts were wonderful.
