This general property & room, staffing, complimentary breakfast were amazing. Short walk to village square for ample dining and shops, ferry to Morocco, beach, & historic sites.

Lovely Boutique Hotel
Everything was lovely: the receptionists very helpful to find a nice restaurant. The interior was amazing including the terrace. Breakfast was rich& healthy.
Only thing was the smelly sink in the bathroom that comes probably from the gutter in the entire city

Very friendly staff, easy parking in the community lot, easy to get to (pay attention to the arrival instructions), good AC, and a nice breakfast. Our lower floor room felt a little damp, which may partly because we had the AC cranked. Comfy bed. Would stay again.

We loved our one night stay at Kook. The hotel staff were friendly and the room was lovely and clean. We had a very good breakfast and the hotel was ideally situated in the old town of Tarifa. We would love to stay here again.

We loved our stay at Hotel Kook. The building was beautiful, rooms decorated well, and the breakfast was excellent. Great location too. The bowl of fruit and fruited water available at all hours was a wonderful treat, very appreciated. We would definitely stay here again.

Very cool architecture and decor, the dining atrium with vertical garden is a little oasis. Delicious breakfast and kind and patient staff. Maria is a goddess who floats through the hotel anticipating your every need with grace and efficiency and impeccable English. For those that want to relive their youth hostel experience but need the finer things will find this fits the bill!
