Flor is the nicest person we’ve met on holiday! She helped us with what to say to the taxi to find the property, gave us phone numbers and recommendations for food & travel + when we got to the place she had some papaya and tangerines waiting for us! A home away from home 🫶🫶🫶

I can’t say enough great things about this place! Staff was more than attentive and helpful. We were able to try various local oranges and enjoy a delicious breakfast! Thank you!!

It's a little on the edge of town, but in a small town, that means just a 10 min walk away from the beach

Excellent little get away, and great value for money. I am a dirt cheep backpacker and this fit my budget, got s private room for me and a friend, private bathroom and fully serviced kitchen. Plus Flors daughter gave us soo much free fruit, clean water and on the final day cooked us breakfast.

Further away from town than you would expect. If you are up for a 15 min walk and some coffee extra exercise.

Flor the host is very friendly and helpful! Great room which was very clean and what it needed

Stayed in July 2025

It’s a little outside the city, which was not a problem at all since I don’t mind walking, but good to know if you are considering booking

The host were very nice and welcoming and helped me plan my trip and recommended me a lot of places. Nice homestay.

My stay with Flor was a highlight of my travel through South America. I was welcomed like family and had the pleasure of sharing meals with her. The room is comfortable and the AC is cold. A lovely place to stay where you can share fresh fruit from a nearby mango tree and support local. I can’t say enough good about my time here and it is one I will remember fondly forever.

The best thing about this accommodation is the host, Flor, who goes out of her way to make her guests comfortable in her home. The room was clean and spacious, very quiet at night, great shower, bed was super comfy, good WiFi and TV, and excellent air conditioning.

Nothing comes to mind.

Flor, the host, is extremely friendly and helpful, often going above and beyond to ensure guests have an enjoyable stay. The rooms are simple but cozy, giving you a peaceful space to relax after a day of exploring.

It is an experience to stay there when you can’t speak any Spanish as then only communicating via translating app is possible.

Flor and her family are nice people, caring about her guests. Some days there were little surprises by bringing fresh fruits and serving water at the beginning of the stay. We got good recommendations for restaurants and visits.

The walk to the main area was downhill but returning was tiring during the heat. The good thing is taxis are only a few dollars and are readily available.

Flor was a very nice lady. She shared fresh mangos from her tree and made me a delicious breakfast on a few occasions. She answered questions very quickly and it was a delight to stay there.

Staying at Flor’s flat was an authentic experience. Flor was incredibly hospitable and made us feel right at home. We had meaningful discussions and even enjoyed a meal she cooked for us. If you’re looking for a genuine and warm experience, Flor’s place is perfect.

It’s a little out of town, but taxi is really cheap (2$) or you could walk for 10 minutes. Also the apartment is a little thin-walled, but that has been a common experience on our Latin America travels.

Flor is an exceptional host, we felt really welcome during our entire stay! From fresh mangos to homemade breakfast, we couldn’t have wished for more! There are authentic restaurants and supermarkets nearby. The bed is really comfortable. Can highly recommend :)

Be aware that it’s a 10 min walk from downtown up a small hill. We knew that and liked the extra walk, so it was no issue for us.

Flor was an amazing host offering us fresh fruit and local recommendations. We loved the room with lots of storage and hangers, comfortable beds, and AC. This is a great choice for anyone looking to get away from the main tourist area and support local.

Stayed in February 2025

Flor was very nice and accommodating. She has a mango tree outside the house and would offer me complimentary fruit. Her driver recommendation was great and gave me the best rates on the island. The room was spacious with clean facilities and AC which is rare on the Galapagos for this price. The view of the water was also nice, will definitely be back.

Stayed in February 2025

If you want an authentic experience and a change to your usual hotel room, I can recommend Flor's place to you: Flor and her family are there to help you, share mangos, traditional food, help with your laundry, getting up early to prepare a tea for you before sunrise before your morning ferry.

Nothing

The room had everything you need and a fridge to keep drinks cool. Short walk into town, lovely friendly family very kind

Stayed in January 2025

The hospitality of Flor and her family clearly exceeds the normal hospitality on booking.com. We felt like part of the family and were even allowed to participate in the New Year's Eve dinner and traditions. Flor gave us mangoes from the garden and surprised us with breakfast on the last morning. The accommodation is in a very quiet location just outside the center, but is within 10 minutes walking distance. The room is incredibly large, has lots of windows and was also cleaned during our stay. We shared the kitchen with Flor and had great conversations. Thanks for everything Flor.

The streets are notorious for dogs in all neighbourhoods so pack your earplugs for a good night sleep.

It was a totally authentic experience staying in the flat just below the main family house. We learnt loads about life for those who live on the galapagos, something most travellers never appreciate

Stayed in November 2024

The room is basic and more like a homestay than a hotel. It’s outside of the center and uphill, but for us this wasn’t really an issue. Some reviews state the side yard is a garbage dump; which is true, but this is basically the case for all places in San Cristobal. The room could be improved with a cabinet to store clothes in.

Very friendly and helpful host! They provided us with fresh water, fruit, and good tips for what to do around the island and a great homely early breakfast (for the morning we had to leave on the early ferry) with locally sourced choco. We were also able to rent a snorkel for 5$ per day, and were offered rides to the town if we needed them.

None

Flor and her family are always attentive and helpful. Furthermore, they always treated me like a part of their family. I really appreciate them and I would love to come back there .

Everything was great.

Flor was very sweet and tried hard to communicate despite the language barrier. The room was clean, comfortable and the neighborhood quiet at night. Great wifi. It is at the top of a hill but not too bad of a walk to eateries or markets. In any case it's just $2 taxi to the pier and beach

Flor is the one of most amazing hosts we had in our travels. She is so sweet and she treats you as if you’re part of her beautiful family. Do no hesitate to stay here when in San Cristobal and make sure you eat her delicious food, she is an incredible cook. We had the best time. Thanks Flor we hope to see you again

Stayed in August 2024

It was a bit hard to find/ unassuming from the outside.

Flor was a great host, she even cooked me homemade ceviche. Her house is nice and close to the beaches. Very comfortable room with fridge and microwave if needed.

Stayed in September 2024

It is really on the edge of town, but the town is so small, that isn’t really a problem.But the taxi did have trouble finding it. The picture included beliw may help with that. Unfortunetely didn’t take more pictures.

Although the property was on the edge of town, Flo who lives there, is very personable and very helpful. She will make breakfast and dinner for you if you want, and that is much cheaper than eating in town. They can even lend you snorkel.
