Nice stay close to everything

A cute hostel/hotel just two short blocks from the main road that runs along the harbor. Hot water and a/c worked well, and there was drinking water available for tea/coffee/water bottles. I did not take advantage of tour opportunites, but they were readily available at the front desk, as were bike and kayak rentals. Thanks for a great stay!

8/10 Very good

It's a great location, and the main guy who worked there, Victor, was extremely helpful when I asked questions. The rooms had good A/C, and I appreciated the free coffee/tea. The twin mattress was extremely uncomfortable, so I didn't get a great night's sleep. There's also no sound insulation in the rooms, so if you are sensitive to sound when sleeping like me, you might want to bring earplugs or noise-cancelling earbuds. You can hear all the trucks unloading at night, loud cars driving by and honking, and dogs barking all night. Otherwise, it was good and very affordable for the location! Appreciated the help from staff.

Charming accommodation and superb service

Victor was a great host. He helped set up some really great activities during my stay and gave me great tips. It is only 2 blocks away from the town center which makes it very convenient and away from the hustle of things to have a quiet nights sleep. The WiFi works well in the common space and there is purified water provided. It is a very charming accommodation that is very eco friendly. I would definitely recommend and stay again!

Lonesome George was a unique and beautiful property, and I felt really comfortable here. Aaron was extremely responsive and helped me with recommendations and booking tours to make my trip in the Galapagos really excellent. I would definitely stay here again. Lovely communal spaces and rooms!

Unique style in a good location.

Loved the style of the place and the location was very good being close to the main street in Puerto Ayora. Overall was comfortable and clean. If I was to say one drawback, it would be that someone is not always available in person at the reception area (but was given a WhatsApp number to call if needed). When they are there, everyone was helpful, informative and helped as needed.

This place had an amazing location with the cutest rooms and community areas. It was helpful to me that owner spoke English as my Spanish isn’t very good. The only thing I didn’t prefer about property was the artificial air fresheners in rooms. Everything else was perfect!

Perfect location close to everything. The style of the hotel was very cool, I felt like I was in a tree house. The room it self was very spacious, however the bathroom was very very small and the water didn't stay hot, and there was no water pressure at all it almost was at trickle. Very noisy, sound was like there wasn't walls there at all. The owner tried to make me pay in Cash.

8/10 Very good

The property itself was okay, but there are no amenities here. I selected this place for the area, and that is what I got. It is only a 5 minute walk from the main part of town, and the host is more than able to arrange anything you want to do on the island. I had to make this as a last minute booking so the host had not received my booking when I got to the location. So if you can make sure to book in advance. Also for us from the USA, make sure you have cash for your stay, as I was advised they do not take credit cards.

This place really does look like the photos! It's whimsical and interesting, and feels just like being in big tree house! You see something different wherever you look, all the rooms are on different levels, and the steps and railings are all made of branches. There is even a bridge to cross over a "mote", where one of the rooms is. This is the feeling you want when you are in the Galapagos environment - natural, interesting, fun. The only drawbacks are the water pressure and the wifi, but I hear this is a problem everywhere on the island. I was never around at breakfast, so I cannot comment on that.

Es hat schon schlecht angefangen. Bei Ankunft war weder die Rezeption besetzt noch kam irgendeine Reaktion auf mein lautes "Hola, buenos dias", obwohl ich die Ankunftszeit mitteilte. Dann erhielt ich ein anderes Zimmer als gebucht, Begründung auf meine Nachfrage war, dass man mir ein grösseres Zimmer gegeben habe...naja. Für den Safe benötigte es einen Schlüssel, welcher gem. Aussage des Besitzers jedoch gesucht werden müsse😟. Die Türe liess sich zuerst mit dem mir gegebenen Schlüssel nicht abschliessen (Schloss völlig vermurkst). Kommentar vom Besitzer auf mein Hinweisen, dann solle ich eben nicht abschliessen, es sei dort sehr sicher😟. Man stelle sich das vor kein Safe u. eine nicht abschliessbare Zimmertüre... TV war auch nicht vorhanden, obwohl sowohl im Beschrieb erwähnt u. auf Fotos zu sehen, wollte man mir weismachen, den habe es nie gegeben (komischerweise ist jedoch an der Wand noch die Halterung zu sehen;-). Sand rieselte von der Decke aufs Bett. Ritzen waren mit Klebestreifen versehen. Scheint allgemein in die Jahre gekommen, müsste halt mal was gemacht werden. Besitzer sehr unfreundlich und hatte für alles eine Audrede. Ich machte das Beste daraus, ärgerte mich jedoch, da ich diese Unterkunft der Insel Isabella vorgezogen hatte😒. Positiv, war das gratis Wasser (heiss + kalt) sowie Tee/Kaffee u. Bananen. Hatte auf Galapagos für den Preis viel tollere Unterkünfte u. sogar inkl. Frühstück😊.

Terrific!

Terrific stay! Loved the interior decor - very quirky and one-off'ish. Staff was super helpful, spoke great English. Good location, just a ~3 minute walk from the center of Puerto Ayora. Hotel provided bottled water dispensers to fill up your bottled waters, which is really nice since the local tap water isn't so clean, and offers free bikes to borrow to get around the island.
