Nely was een schat. Ontbijt simpel maar prima, kun je vragen voor 5$ extra. Fietsen vrij te gebruiken wat nodig is gezien te locatie, taxi kost ook maar 1,5$. Ze zit ook vol met tips, handig als je beter Spaans spreekt dan wij. En nog een puppy! Kamer heeft ook een eigen koelkast en kitchenette, eigen watertap!

Kamer had wel schoner gekund, geen nieuw wc papier gekregen, bij hevige regen loopt het water onder de deur door in kamer 2. Water in de douche werd niet echt heet. Airco is luid en je kunt de fan speed niet aanpassen.

Nely is super friendly and a great host. Breakfast was always amazing with both regular and vegetarian options; had daily fresh fruit and tried a lot of local foods including delicious yuca tortillas and maduro empanadas. Booked a last minute trip and she helped me find activities for each day. She lent me a bike and snorkeling gear. I can't wait to come back!

After the confusion of checking in. My stay was really nice. The daughter of the property owner was very nice and helpful. She drove me into town and showed me around a bit. She suggested places to eat and things to do. Breakfast was good and varied. There was bottled water available to fill my water bottle for the day or make coffee, tea or hot cocoa in the evening. The gardens in the courtyard were really nice. There were bikes to use for free. I didn't end up using one, but there were plenty to choose from.

A little better communication. When I arrived, there was a handyman working on the property. They let me in and showed me which room to take. The key was in the door. I understood that someone would be by to check me in. I waited quite a while but no one came, so I texted the property via Booking.com and they came right away. I couldn't figure out the Air Conditioning. (there was a remote control, that I didn't notice) The location is a bit far from the main area, but I knew that from the maps. On the first morning, I wasn't sure how the breakfast worked. I messaged the property and they responded right away and came and prepared breakfast.

I cannot stress how important is a good host and what influence they have on your entire vacation. Nelyza was simply a delight! She was caring, informative, friendly, and more than willing to help at all times. The place is located a bit further up town, about 15-20 min walk from the promenade and center, and Nelyza chased me time and time again to give me a scooter ride even when I said it was not necessary she insisted, and it was of course very helpful at times, especially when I had early morning tours to embark on. She had asked me to join her for coffee, she offered to take me around the island and was extremely helpful with holding my luggage for free when I was spending a week in another island. The room was very very large and spacious. There was a huge mineral water bottle and it meant I didn't spend my money on water. The room was cleaned daily, I had lots of towels. A Great homestay away from home.

The only one thing that I could say that was not perfect was the water temperature, it was sometimes medium and sometimes chilly but honestly I didn't mind it with all the extras.

Very welcoming and hospitable. Soon after checking in, Nelyza brought me a fruit bowl. The room was quite spacious and had a water jug for me to fill up my water bottle. Nelyza's daughter took me by motorbike to a couple places I wanted to go to.

Just keep in mind that showers tend to not be hot, but I think that's the case in most places.

Exceptionally helpful host (Nely) for advice amd tours. It was like having our own travel agent! Part of the problem on the Galapagos is there is too much choice - so this was invaluable: She suggested which tour companies to use and how much they would accept (eg $30 when company initially suggested $50 and all other gringos paid $35+) She even managed to buy us next day inter-island ferry tickets when everyone we spoke to at the port said they'd sold out (she managed to find someone with returns) Organised a taxi tour for 1/2 rate we'd have paid for official tour & at time to suit us. Told us of last minute offers being circulated by tour companies. Free bikes available were of decent quality and sizes. Had selection of large sun hats to borrow. Think had free masks/snorkels (we brought our own) Galapagos is expensive, but Nely helped us feel we were not over-paying.

It is towards the edge of town, so a bit of a walk - but town felt safer than anywhere else in S.America - and when didn't wa lk, could use their free bikes (or local taxis $1.50)

The host is just so happy and lovely. She does not speak English.

Unfortunately as much as I loved the place and it’s host, the facilities were not clean. I’m sure that it was a once off thing, but if they raise the cleanliness this place would be super!

We had a very pleasant stay. Nelyza was a great host who made us feel very much like home and helped us a lot with information about the island, good advices & recommendations. Her place is very unique and allowed a feeling of being part of the community. Overall a very memorable nice stay.

We were a family of five so the rooms where a bit crowded, but we knew that bevor and the rooms could have been a bit more clean.
