Situated by a beautiful little hamlet the accommodation is surrounded by unspoiled mountains. For getting away from it all it is perfect, also, mountaineering (with 20 mountains in Tamadaba national park), amazing rock-climbing, surfing, photography, star-gazing and strolls along the rugged coastline. I enjoyed the fact there were no tourist traps, nightclubs, noise, hawkers, hustlers; instead just peace and quiet. The restaurant downstairs from the little rooms caters mainly for local clientele. The owners are unobtrusive, but extremely hospitable. I was moved from the twin beds room, the simple comfort of which suited me fine, to a double room which is actually better, with a cozier bed, larger fridge, bigger clothes rail and a wooden desk. I have been delighted so far with everything. I am not looking for city life on holiday, and love being surrounded by amazing geology and nature. I have been rambling, rock climbing, mountaineering and swimming, and visited nearby towns on the bus 101 Global bus. I love sitting admiring the view from the balcony having dinner and the amazing breakfast provided in the restaurant each morning, with fresh local fruit smoothies, fruit salad, sandwiches, coffee and a sweet. I would love to come again but there are no bookings available for a year, as I have checked. I believe there are 2 hotels in El Risco nearby, and will look into staying there in the future unless this more conveniently situated place re-opens.

Tranquility, tremendous scenery, natural beauty, hiking, rock-climbing, mountain pool, remote, and away from it all. Facilities, hot plate, dishes, washing machine, clothes line, well maintained, well-designed, attractive, spotless, simple, coat-hangers provided, balcony with table, breakfast is a generous feast, next to bus stop, pebbly beach nearby that is nice to walk to, though wild and rugged. Everything is perfect for me. I love it and am blessed for being here.

They don't do proper vegan food in the restaurant downstairs. They cater for vegetarians and flesh eaters only.

Great location for country walks, trekking, mountaineering, beach walks, rock climbing. Fantastic and very generous breakfast as always, washing machine cooking facilities, spacious, well equipped, laid back and relaxed. Very good value too.

all great

Breakfast included, clean basic rooms with comfy beds, bathroom with washing machine shared between three rooms. Some advanced hiking trails up the mountain and an easy waterfall trek close by.

Bit remote but this was also an attraction, the local beach isn't easy to access but very quiet.

Mooi dakterras met een mooie zonsondergang Leuk dorpje in de buurt met goede restaurants

De kamers zitten boven het terras van het wegrestaurant, erg lawaaierig De luchtafvoer van de keuken komt uit bij de kamers, hierdoor ruik je vroeg in de ochtend al frituur lucht/vet lucht Het ligt direct naast een drukke autoweg Ontbijt is inclusief, maar dit hebben wij niet genomen omdat de broodjes uit een plastic zakje komen en de avond ervoor al worden klaargelegd

El trato excelente, un ambiente muy agradable

La limpieza, temperatura de las habitaciones, el paisaje.

El ruido de los coches que pasaban por la carretera

The landscape at B&B and Apartments El Charco Azul is truly enchanting. During the day, the views are awe-inspiring, and the sunset scenes are simply breathtaking. A must-see for those seeking natural beauty at its finest.

B&B and Apartments El Charco Azul offers a peaceful retreat in a remote location. Ideal for those craving privacy and nature's beauty. The journey to the site is scenic but lacks night lighting, and amenities are a 20-minute drive away. Note that English proficiency at reception may be limited. If you seek serenity, this is a perfect choice, but convenience-seekers might want to weigh options.

Nice characteristic vibe of the apartment, very well kept. The balcony was spacious and the bed was very comfortable.

You have to go outside to use the bathroom at night, but since it was warm, it wasn't a big deal.

A very cozy apartment with an interesting layout and a nice terrace. Good facilities overall. The host seems to be a jack of all trades. The owner's resident hostel dog was a sweetheart.

The location is not the easiest to get to, unless you travel by car. Some traffic passes by so light sleepers may find this unpleasant.

Very clean and simple accomodation which is perfect if you're looking for somewhere reasonably priced to access the mountains. The room had a private fridge and good storage space and the free breakfast was a nice touch considering the price! The shared kitchen and bathroom were immaculately clean.

The accommodation is right next to the road so the noise can be a little disturbing early in the morning The hot water in the shower ran out a couple of times

Great service. Low price.

Breakfast could have more choices.

The B&B is located directly at the bottom of the small village El Risco and only half an hour away from the only waterfall on Gran Canaria, El Charco Azul. There is a breakfast every morning consisting of fruit, juice, a sandwich (bocadillo) of choice (i recommend chorizo), coffe and cake, which was nice. To get to the next bigger city Agaete you drive around 25 minutes, there you find a bigger beach with sand and a lot of fish restaurants (Recommendation is Akasa restaurante, very delicious). If you dont want to drive, a small beach is accesible by foot, but consists more of black stones than sand.

The refrigerator in our room was very loud, which sometimes woke us up at night and people were working loud machines outside of the B&B already early in the morning which was not the most relaxed setting for breakfast, other than that we had no complains.

The stay exceeded my expectations! The staff was amazing, the place was clean and comfy and I could have breakfast with the view! It has parking, restaurant/café downstairs, everyone is really open and friendly!

Maybe a little disturbing was the noise from the road near by

The real Gran Canaria experience! The host is a genuinely great guy and the place is unique. If you come to Gran Canaria to party and be served, this is not the place for you. But if you come to enjoy the wonderful nature and be part of the local culture, this is the best place to stay. The waterfall is just a short walk and from here you can reach the entire natural park.

It was all great.

Very nice accomodation with shared facilities. Nearby many great walking routes, and the host came me his recommendations. The included breakfast was plenty and the dinner made to my wishes. Perfect place for some relaxing days outside of the bustling cities.

What a fantastic spot to rest; lovely room with the most comfortable bed ne pillows. Although the included breakfast isn’t amazing, a lot is provided.

The kitchenette isn’t well enough equipped to cook properly. Right next to a road so can be noisy, and staff downstairs in the bar get up early in the morning…

The best breakfast ever. You need at least an hour to eat everything. Fresh juice and fruit and something warm and sweet...Great atmosphere made by Antonio and Erica and local people. Antonio you are the best! I felt more than welcome and it wasn't a big problem that I don't speak Spanish :) If you want to feel local atmosphere choose that place. Great place for hiking! Hosts are very helpful! I got there by bus and it was ok but if you want to see the island take the car, it is one hour drive to Las Palmas (not an easy way to go) and one hour to Maspalomas. I would definitely choose this place again! Muchas gracias Erica y Antonio!!!

A bit noisy during the day but you don't go there to spend the whole day in your room so it wasn't the problem.

Great.

cute, rustic and authentic place with a very caring owner and his family. I felt more than welcome will come back.

nothing to complain about

Clean and charming little place, with lovely sea view, and can see sun set. Next to start of walking trails. Also, good space packed in a lot of amenities. Host provides a very generous fresh made breakfast. Also his restaurant bar is quite convenient for food!

Rear view is of a construction site but it is not important, especially consider the cheap price!

Very good conditions, perfect spot for a relaxing time, close to a nice beach (don't go swimming unless it's low tide) and beautiful sunset. Wifi was very good, there is a nice table for meals but it's not close to an outlet. If you want to work there is a table inside the bedroom that can do just fine. Bathroom conditions, kitchenette as well. Sr. Antonio is an angel and super helpful and makes sure you have a huge breakfast to eat if you want to. I spoke Spanish the whole time but you don't need to, there were guests from other nationalities as well. Make sure you bring some groceries food with you for cooking but last case the restaurant always has water, bread, meals and other stuff.

All good.
