“Lovely hosts”
+I liked being out of town as it was quieter, and you can pick up a taxi from pretty much outside the door into town for 75 cents. Christian and his family are lovely humans. They are available to help in any situation, and if your Spanish isn't great, they're the perfect hosts. They have 2 dogs and 2 cats, which are incredibly friendly, and some chickens. I loved their wild garden too. The bed was super comfy, and the shower was poweful
−The property could do with a little update, especially the kitchen/lounge area.

“Exceptional stay at a beautiful place”
+We loved staying here. The apartment is located in the beautiful garden of an estate, the family living there was exceptionally hospitable. We would get fresh fruits in the morning and were invited to have coffee at the family table. When we forgot a wallet in a taxi, they called everybody they knew to successfully retrieve the lost wallet. The apartment has everything you need and was clean.
−The estate is located outside of the town, so you have to take a cab to get there. One trip costs 4$ but it didn't bother us too much because we would spend the days at the town anyway. You can also take the cheap bus or hitchhike easily.

“Superb”
+Really friendly hosts who offered to pick us up from Puerto Baquerizo and gave us some bananas on arrival! The cabin is cute and perfect for two people with a lovely garden as surroundings. Great value for money and with some self catering provisions.
−As other reviews mention, the village El Progreso is around 10 minutes drive from the main town of Puerto Baquerizo but it's really easy to get a taxi just outside the house which costs 75 cents when going into town and USD 4 to return from town to the accommodation.

“Very good”
+Lovely family-run accomodation in San Cristobal. A spacious, clean and quiet apartment in the beautiful green garden. I felt very well here. The owner picked me up at the airport, he was very friendly and helpful with everything. The accomodation is a bit outside the main town, but easily accessible with taxi or bicycle. A great price-value. I enjoyed my stay here and can highly recommend Darwin's Temple. :-)

“Memorable stay with a wonderful family. Would 100% book again .”
+The host and his family were so welcoming and helpful throughout our trip. We were welcomed into their home and they helped us with things to do and tours which we really appreciated. The home is a peaceful oasis it’s a little far from town but so easy to get a taxi - but their home is special and a nice place to go to unwind and relax after a long day of trips. Incredible stay !
−It’s a little far from town but we knew that before we booked. Taxi is very easy to get right outside the door for 75cent to town .
