Rooms were very clean, comfortable and quiet and the staff is very friendly and helpful. They helped us arrange 3 different tours which included pick up at the hotel which made everything easy and enjoyable. Laundry was also done for us at the going rate around town which was quite convenient. They also provided drop off and pick up from the airport. This is exactly what we hoped for during our stay. ![Hotel entrance ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/bfd7f1e9-4a44-4ba9-aaec-cd84a9f2315f-1765995761477.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Lobby/Breakfast Area](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a6f93877-f689-49a4-9e67-70ac85429313-1765996150890.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Farm fresh breakfast with all local ingredients ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/865ad6d8-e0fc-424a-99ad-d42c8e908ad1-1765996167836.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Front Desk](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/422d041e-82e7-4bdf-8aee-f7752e3a5b0a-1765996363347.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Kristina Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Roya Sep 7, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities Friendly staff who responded to issues immediately. ##### Roya Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Daniela Jul 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The owners were very friendly and welcoming.

The room I had (#3) was large, with its own small balcony. The bathroom was more than adequate. The hot water did take a little time to warmup, but hey, this is the Galapagos. The owner and his wife (and family as well) was always available for any questions that I had. Not everyone spoke English, but again, this is the Galápagos, immerse yourself in the culture and you will get along just fine. I will stay at this hotel again. With just a short walk to downtown, and many small food stores in the neighborhood, you can easily visit grocery stores for food. You may have heard that you need cash USD in the Galápagos, absolutely true! Cary cash everywhere you go, cash is king! Economical laundry services are also done at the hotel. Don’t let the area around the hotel scare you off, things are being built up and the immediate area is under a renovation of sorts. Get ready to say, Hola, 200 times a day, the people in the Galápagos are very friendly! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/c5e81ac6-281a-48ee-8dca-dd12c86434ae-1764968990528.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3cd7b3be-b6f8-4942-8e57-2815630b1413-1764968992420.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Michael Timothy Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elizardo Dec 29, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities This is a very nice place to stay while in Isabela Family owned they will go the extra mile to make you feel like at home.

They treat it like it's a little VRBO. They cook to order eggs, get fruit, coffee, fruit juice, delicious bread each morning. They clean the room every day. They scheduled shuttles for us. Very hospitable. ##### erin Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ayla Dec 25, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great place to stay - comfortable bed and helpful staff. Delicious breakfast. Easy to walk to the beach. Only downside was all the loud dogs in the neighborhood barking in the night - take earplugs if you’re a light sleeper! This has been the case at other places I’ve stayed in Galapagos that are more in the neighborhoods, so is not unique to this property. I recommend this place. ##### Ayla ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tiffany Sep 25, 2023 Liked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Loved Isabela and loved this hostel Absolutely wonderful staff and family. Great room. Fast service if I ever needed a taxi or shuttle. Super sweet staff that truly brings a smile to your face with their attitude towards the work they do. Only recommendation would be breakfast options. Breakfast is delicious but eggs come one way and not many protein options. 100% would come back here and recommend to anyone. ##### Tiffany Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jay Dec 1, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I really enjoyed staying here and the property had a wonderful feel and so much safety. The room was clean and fresh and they cleaned between my stay as well. Check in was easy and seamless and informative. The breakfast was really nice with fresh fruit juice, coffee, bread, jam, fresh papaya, watermelon, bananas. Out of the main downtown it was a simple 5 blocks to walk to the bustling area of downtown for dining. Really enjoyed and would stay again. Loved the spiral staircase and Also loved the volleyball and basketball courts a block away and went to watch volleyball each night. ##### Jay Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Celine Jan 9, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Amazing stay! The best hotel in the Galapagos! The room were so nice, clean, bright and had everything we could wish for (AC, space, towels, shampoo etc). The breakfast was lovely and the courtyard as well. There was a water refill which was so useful. The staff was so nice, on our last day we left at 5am so couldn’t have breakfast and the owner gave us a lunch box to take with us. So lovely!!!! Wish we could have stayed longer. Also they organise tours which we wished we had known about. Would highly recommend to anyone! ##### Celine Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### jintao Mar 11, 2024 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities For the price, it's very ok I should say. Property is "far" from center or ferry port, but the whole town is very small, the "far" is only 4 blocks away, 5 minutes walking, so, this is not a problem. The overall environment is quiet and you live in a garden with a couple of small yard with healthy plant. You can hear dog barking (there seems no way to avoid anywhere in island). We don't call it noisy. The noisy is actually from construction. If not in construction season, probably much better. And some add-on benefit staying here is: The host seems overall organize the Volcano hiking tour, he prepared the lunch box for the tour as well. And the hiking tour we booked from him directly is $35/p.p. The tour bus is parking in this property. Due to the ongoing construction, hotel have working noisy the whole day when we stay. Which might also the reason result the room is cover by dust. And seems not all room ready to welcome guest, missing a lot of necessity. But you can ask for and they would fix it immediately. And for some bad lucky, 1 of the room having bedbug, but another room is ok. And the shower not working in 1 room, after we reported to host, who move us to another room, which was having much better shower water flow. Check out time is 10am, but we were allowed to stay till 1pm for free to catch our flight scheduled on 2pm. Which is very friendly and appreciated. Staff are very nice and helpful. Overall, I should say, we get what we paid. :) ##### jintao Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel el descanso del Guia](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Ayora-Hotels-Hotel-El-Descanso-Del-Guia.h17525206.Hotel-Information) > > [Beach Hotel in Pangasinan](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Pangasinan-Beach-Hotel.0-0-d553248635939564393-tBeachHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Hotels in Fort Erie](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Erie-Hotels.d8119.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Mizata By Antiresort](https://www.expedia.ca/Mizata-Hotels-Mizata.h25141307.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in San José del Cabo](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Jose-Del-Cabo-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d8650-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Greece](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Greece-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d67-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Casino Hotels in Fallsview](https://www.expedia.ca/Fallsview-Niagara-Falls-Hotels-Casino-Hotel.0-n553248633981690205-0-tCasinoHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Painter's Lodge ](https://www.expedia.ca/Campbell-River-Hotels-Painters-Lodge.h8189731.Hotel-Information) > > [W Miami](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-W-Miami.h2483087.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Mashhad](https://www.expedia.ca/Mashhad-Hotels.d553248635973479963.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Coco Reef Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Crown-Point-Hotels-Coco-Reef-Resort-And-Spa.h197839.Hotel-Information) > > [Silver Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Chatham-Kent-Hotels-Silver-Motel.h12487055.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near United States Consulate General Montréal](https://www.expedia.ca/United-States-Consulate-General-Montreal-Hotels.0-l553248634249809069-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > [Asiana Airlines](https://www.expedia.ca/Asiana-Airlines-Flights.cOZ.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Cape Air](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Air-Flights.c9K.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Salem (SLE)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/sle/toronto-to-salem) > > [Flights from Merignac (BOD) to Nice (NCE)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/bod/nce/bordeaux-to-nice) > > [Flights from New Delhi (DEL) to Edmonton International Airport (YEG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/del/yeg/delhi-to-edmonton) > > [Flights from Detroit (DTW) to Indianapolis (IND)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/dtw/ind/detroit-to-indianapolis) > > [Flights from Incheon (ICN) to Changchun (CGQ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/icn/cgq/seoul-to-changchun) > > [Flights from Detroit (DTW) to Miami (MIA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/dtw/mia/detroit-to-miami) > > [Flights from Québec City (YQB) to Incheon (ICN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yqb/icn/quebec-to-seoul) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Cancun](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Cancun.d179995.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Activities ### General
