Guest Reviews

• tanya (10/5): Excellent location except restaurant below - Restaurant under room very noisy but great room
• Chris (10/5): Terrific Tarifa - Beautiful clean room in a perfect setting. Surrounded by restaurants and bars and just a few minutes from the port and beach. My only slight complaint was no mirror on the wall in the bedroom and the light not good in the bathroom for putting on make up etc.
• LaVerne (10/5): - Walkable to the ferry. Great location. Worked with our late arrival. Nice.
• Thomas (8/5): Schöne Unterkunft - Sehr schön, sauber und im Herzen der herzigen Altstadt von Tarifa.
• Iestyn (6/5): Poor Communication and never saw the owners! - Good quality guest house, with good facilities, clean and very comfortable. It's also very central and good for an early morning start to the port. Good value for money too. BUT: Two problems. The first is that at most accommodation, check-in will open at 3pm but at Benali it closes as 3pm. Having travelled from the UK, arrival before 3pm was not going to be possible. But therefore the second problem. As required by the small print, I had contacted the hotel to inform them we'd be arriving late. No reply. Just a few days before travel, I got an email saying that there's a problem with the payment and asking me to provide details. Nonsense and no chance: I hadn't given card details as we'd opted to 'pay at hotel' and am never going to email them to someone. I replied to that effect. The day before we travel I get a note saying that the room is confirmed after all. I replied, giving 8pm as ETA. But when we got there, no-one in sight. In fact, we never ever saw anyone at this hotel. A kind passer by phoned the hotel: apparently they had emailed me a code for the door and our key was in the room!! The email was sent the previous evening and we were already on the road, without access to email. We ended up leaving 80 Euros in the bedside cabinet as payment and then a bizarre message back saying they had refunded my credit card!! I've never known a hotel with such poor communication. Don't offer 'pay at hotel' if you are not going to be there.
• HARUMI (10/5): とても便利な場所です。 - バスターミナルから歩いて15分くらいの場所にあります。最初は捜すのに困りましたが、慣れたら大丈夫です。前もってメールでホテルの入口の暗証番号と部屋番号を教えてくれるのでチックインはとてもスムーズです。部屋の鍵はドアノブの部屋側に挿し込んであります。タオル類も綺麗ですし、コーヒーマシンもあり、久しぶりにドリップコーヒーが飲めました。水やウェルカムチョコレートもありました。レストラン街なので食べ物には困りません。12時近くまで客がいますが、窓が三重になっているので、うるさく感じません。この街は魚介類がとても美味しいです。
• David (10/5): Convenient and well placed - Very conveniently located in the old town, room was very comfortable
• Marya (8/5): - In the busiest area of Tarifa but highly quiet one inside the property. Very convenient, close to all amenities, shopping, restaurants and beaches
• Knut (10/5): Tarifa er verdt et besøk - Dags reisen til Tarifa fra Malaga var perfekt.Herlig overnatting på Benali guesthouse,Det ligger i gamlebyen med herlige butikker og restauranter.
• Jessica (10/5): - Soggiornato per due notti qui e siamo stati benissimo Autogestione per il check-in/out e tutto alla portata di mano tra ristoranti, bar e negozi. Stanza pulita e accogliente
• maria jose (8/5): - Todo bien. Solo faltaría una mini nevera para estar perfecta
• Octavia (10/5): - Im Benali Guesthouse habe ich meistens gut geschlafen. Die Kaffeemaschine mit Pads wurden immer aufgefüllt. Der kleine Kühlschrank und die Klimanlage haben zum Wohlbefinden beigetragen. Die zwei Pralinen wurden bei Bedarf täglich erneuert. Die Inhaberin Monica sprach auch Englisch und mit Aiana habe ich mich mit etwas Spanisch auch gut verständigt. Ein sehr schöner Aufenthalt!
• Minna (10/5): - Aivan ihana siisti hotelli, hyvällä paikalla.
• jose maria (10/5): Volveremos - Todo muy bien. A pesar de estar en el centro,el ruido de la calle no llega a la habitación.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Mycket trevligt med fantastiskt fina och rena rum. Bra läge i gamla stadsdelen. Dock ligger ett mycket populärt torg precis utanför med flera serveringar som är öppna fram till sent på natten.
• Clara Alejandra (10/5): - **Bewertung für Benali Guesthouse** Das Benali Guesthouse liegt direkt im belebten Zentrum, mit dem besten Thunfischrestaurant der Stadt vor der Haustür. Trotz der zentralen Lage und einem Zimmer zur Plaza-Seite war es super ruhig. Alle Restaurants und Bars sind ebenfalls in Laufnähe. Ein perfekter Ort für einen entspannten und dennoch lebhaften Aufenthalt!
• adil (8/5): Bien - Bien. Un poco ruidoso hasta media noche.
• Jose Ramon (10/5): - Ha sido una visita rápida y muy tranquila
• Kerry (10/5): - What a delightful find in the Old Town, it's an easy walking distance to the beach, shops, restaurants and bars. Highly recommend One small issue it would be best if hotel could send check in details ( door code)to my email as I missed the text maybe it's because I have loaded a travel sim in my phone and didn't get it. Anyway only a small problem as the bar owner next door rang the manager for me.
• Raquel (10/5): - Beautiful and very clean. Staff is very friendly and it is close to everything.
• jason (8/5): - Good clean basic room. Priced fairly. Great location.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Todo estupendo y muy bien ubicado
• Michael (2/5): Desastre de sitio - Hace aprox. un año estuvimos y la atencion fue bastante regular y la habitación dejaba mucho que desear comparado con las fotos. Ahora este fin de semana reservamos de nuevo ya que no habia mas alterativas, y nuestra sorpresa fue mayuscula cuando descubrimos que por un error en la tarjeta nos habian cancelado. Ya habimos llegado a Tarifa en coche y nos dejan tirados por un error, y no quisieron llamarnos "porque Expedia nos cobra un monton".
• Marc (10/5): Acogedor - Muy acogedor en pleno centro histórico de Tarifa. Se encuentra en una calle de restaurantes pero está muy bien insonorizado.
• jorge (10/5): - Un hotelito muy bonito y centrico. Las ventanas insonorizan el ruido y hemos dormido sin problema.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - The staff are very nice , the location is very convenient, the room was beautiful.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Matratze zu kurz, Kopfkissen zu dick. Draußen tobt das Leben!
• Michael (10/5): Kanonställe i Tarifa - Bra på alla sätt och vis. Mysigt rum med fantastisk terass mot vibrerande gata kvällstid. Saknade endast ett litet kylskåp på rummet
• Fe (8/5): - Hotel cómodo, agradable, exquisitamente decorado y muy céntrico
• Verified traveler (10/5): - charmantes Hotel, schönes Ambiente mit Liebe zum Detail, TopLage
• irene (10/5): love tarifa - Love Tarifa have stayed in Benali Guest House lots of times rooms with terrace a bonus Great restaurant Le Frances Silos
• Carolyne (10/5): The street for Beer and Tapas and good music. - Great guesthouse! If you want to be a part of the night life of Tarifa you are in the right place. Not a large room but I found it quite alright. Lovely french styled window looking out on the street. Did not meet any staff but instructions to get into building and room received by email were very clear and everything went smoothly.
• Scott (10/5): Great location for ferry - Great location for going on ferry to tangier. Close to great restaurants as well. Never met or saw the staff as they have very limited hours but communication with them was good.
• Robyn (8/5): - Pleasant guesthouse on a square with a nice restaurant. Although overall quiet, guests coming and going, particularly late at night/wee hours disturbed us regularly. Reception wasn’t open on the day we arrived, despite an email on the day telling us they were, and this was disconcerting but the self help directions were easy to follow. Very very close to the port, which was convenient. Parking outside to unload our bags was a lucky fluke but would be difficult at times when the street’s restaurants and cafes were set up for outdoor dining on the road.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Hotel in pieno centro...ottimo soggiorno!complimenti
• Jules (10/5): Honeymoon trip 2 nights - Great spot in the old town, nice place, not posh but its good for exploring and a bit of lively evening. The square activity at night that makes it very special. Real good vibe. Id definitely stay again.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Property had great airconditioning, room space and tv and was quite clean. It was close to major areas even thought it was in a small street. I liked it.
• Manon (10/5): - Chambre très accueillante et clean. Service ménage au top. Super ambiance dans le quartier en bas de la rue. Tombé amoureux de Tarifa nous reviendrons avec grand plaisir !!
• Maurizio (10/5): Posizione perfetta! - Struttura bellissima, vicino al centro, al mare e in una zona ricca di ottimi ristoranti e piena di vita!
• DT (8/5): - The hotel is difficult to find and wrong phone number is listed on the Expedia website.
• Michael (10/5): Tarifa magic - Its a really attractive guest house right in the centre of town, a real joy to stay there
• Oswaldo (10/5): Surpreendente - Excelente opção! Localização, limpeza, conforto.
• Vanessa (10/5): Fantastic place! - Excellent homely place to stay! Terrace was great too! Loads of good restaurants around, all in walking distance.
• Rocío (10/5): Bien situado, la decoración es muy bonita. - 100% recomendable
• Carol A (8/5): Great spot to catch ferry to Tangiers - The guesthouse is very clean, with a comfortable bed, coffee and tea in room, and great location as 5 minutes to ferry. Unfortunately our stay was during a cold spell, the heater did not warm the room.
• Phil (10/5): Perfect if you are catching the ferry in Tarifa - We only had 1 night and the Benali Guesthouse was the ideal choice for our accommodation in Tarifa. Situated in the old town and only a 5 minute walk from the ferry terminal we really enjoyed our stay. We had a great walk and meal and awoke ready to tackle Morocco the next day. Tarifa is no Granada, but does have an element of charm in the old town. The Benali Guesrhouse was clean, spacious and the balocony on our room was very nice.
• maria luisa (8/5): Bonita estancia en Tarifa. - Bonita habitación en pleno centro de Tarifa, rodeada de mucho ambiente. Todo muy bien salvo el precio excesivo en agosto!
• Steve (8/5): Nice place to stay - Great place to stay Air con needs sorting Need to park in car park over night
• Rebeca (8/5): - Muy agradable y cómodo. Todo un acierto.
• Mrs Susan (6/5): No Explanations Accepted! - Lovely guesthouse if you don't mind TERRIBLE service. We telephoned ahead, as my husband is quite frail, to make sure that we would have help when we arrived for the bags and parking. We were assured that someone would be there if we arrived before 3:00PM. We rushed to be there on time, and even arrived early at 1:45PM. We were unable to bring the car close to the hotel to drop our bags, as promised, and there was no one there to help when we arrived! No note, and no explanation, but most of all no one to help us from the guesthouse!! But, for the wonderful man next door at the bar we would have had a major problem. He was able to contact the owner by phone, and get us into the hotel, he also came with me to find somewhere safe for our car......bless him. We never saw or heard from any hotel staff, until the next morning, as we were packing our car to leave. So much for service.
• Risto (6/5): Ekzellente Lage in der Altstadt - Das Gasthaus befindet sich in der Altstadt mit vielen Kneipen und Tapas-Bars in der unmittelbaren Umgebung. Dank der guten Schallisolierung stört das bunte Nachtleben aber überhaupt nicht.
• SAYO (4/5): 場所は最高！ - 場所はフェリーからとても近く、おそらくこの街の旧市街の中心地。 ホテルもきれいだが、チェックインの最終時間が15時のため要注意。 私たちはモロッコからきたため、時差で一時間遅れてしまい、入れないまま数十分。隣のお店の方に電話してもらい、暗証番号を聞いてホテルの中へ入れたものの、伝えられた部屋は使った後そのままで、違う部屋に宿泊しました。 チェックインからチェックアウトまで誰にも会わず、 日本人からしたら不思議な感じでした。 おそらく15時までだとスタッフがいるのか？ ホテル自体は快適で場所も最高です。 スペイン語または英語が喋れない方はくれぐれもチェックインの時間に注意してください。
• Gary (8/5): Benali guesthouse in Tarifa - Bit tricky to find by car. Parked below the fort and walked the 200m around the Fort and up the lane way to the hotel.
• Verified traveler (6/5): Cozy guesthouse/B&B in Tarifa old town/center. - Located in the closed-for-traffic town center, this guesthouse is quite charming. Simply, yet nicely decorated, reasonable bathroom w shower, not particularly large rooms, but with great balconies (on the 2nd floor). No hotel services, i.e. 'DIY' accommodation, no common areas, yet functional and good location (except for parking or access by car). Nice for summer, reasonable/modest for winter.
• Mike (8/5): The village of Tarifa - Tarifa is a great little town, quite in winter and vibrant and busy in summer. Nice little shops with unique gift items. Great for walking, watching kite surfers and walks on the beach. The hotel is clean, organized, and central in town without being on a busy street. It is a good value for the stay.
• Verified traveler (6/5): Good Overall, No Elevator, Limited Staff - Tarifa is a great city to visit for a few days. This hotel was right in the heart of the Old Town and we walked 2 blocks to the ferry to Tangier. The room was clean, in good condition and the bathroom was pretty good. This room was quite small but it had a huge private patio which some people would really enjoy (we were too busy to use it). But there is no elevator so we had several flights of stairs to lug our luggage up and down and no one is readily available to help you if you need help after very limited hours of someone being there. We were happy overall but we felt it was a little expensive all things considered.
