Reviews of Eco Hotel Cueva del Gato 2 stars

The setting is beautiful, the back deck is lovely for an evening drink, the river and the lagoon behind the property is beautiful, and the pool terrific. We loved how isolated it is and yet how close to Ronda at only 15 mins by car.

We didn't dine at the property as there was only a set menu offered and you had to let them know in advance. There was a real sense of pared down staff and a multitude of text messages regarding dining, menu and doing an automatic check in. It was borderline annoying. The setting for the dining area is gorgeous but I got the feeling that it is only used for special events, which is a shame.

Views over the mountains were wonderful, the bed was comfortable, the outdoor lounge area was beautiful and the service was very kind.

There was a large group celebrating with a dinner function during our stay - they were very noisy and I don’t think this kind of event is compatible with the small, quiet retreat that the property offers. We found it very intrusive and were disappointed with that aspect.

Everything!

Nothing😀

Great staff and pool

Superior room wasn’t a suite, as was billed. Train line was noisy during the night. Dinner was overpriced and not very good.

Stunning location, next to the Cueva del Gato and nestled overlooking the hills. Perfectly located for hiking, exploring the Pueblos Blancos or just relaxing by the pool. Staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful. Really appreciated the wine in our room and local produce at breakfast.

A mirror in the bedroom would be a useful addition.

Nice setting close to the famous Cueva del Gato. Fabulous breakfast.

Toilets were unreliable, local restaurants too far to walk to. The surrounding area looks like a building site and needs to mature.

Great location, very relaxing and quiet. Near to ronda

The hotel was beautiful, cosy an quiet. The mattresses were excellent. When we came back from a hike our room was heated for us. The staff was Super friendly and although we were the only guest they prepared us delicious food and have us a lot of recommendations for our further travel.

We loved everything – the many animals (three sweet dogs, one affectionate cat, a donkey(!), chickens and geese), the beautiful place itself, the fantastic breakfast and lovely details. The communication was great, fast and very helpful. We cannot recommend enough to stay here and enjoy this wonderful place. There is an amazing nature pool (icecold) and waterfall by the nearby closed cave.

Nothing! Just be aware that you need 1€ in total to getting to the property by car as there is a barrier on top of the road for the cave parking – but you get the amount back from the property :)

Hotel set in amazing location. Very peaceful. The pool was perfect for relaxing after a walk by the river. Staff was just so friendly. Liked the digital access. No problems communications with staff. Really enjoyed all the animals, dogs, at, ducks, donkeys. Dogs are Mastiffs so very large but amazingly gentle.

Maybe the meals were a little overpriced but they were delicious and we were treated like royalty.

The location and its rural setting. Very Friendly staff, fantastic pool. Easy check in/out, honesty bar. Close to the cave, 15 min drive to Ronda.

The set menu seemed like a great idea for the day of arrival but it was overpriced for what it turned out to be. For €60 p/p without drink we thought of a gourmet experience. It was tasty but def not special. With one staff doing all the waiting and cooking is probably a bit over ambitious. Then we didn’t realise we’d be hearing the train (infrequently) thundering past at such close proximity. But you get used to it.

Super nice and peaceful place to stay a few days and relax!

Rural setting, nicely designed. Great pool. Lovely staff. Breakfast was good.

It felt a bit lonely, no staff on site except for breakfast and nearly no other guests. Bathroom is ok.

The food is incredible! The staff is very nice and friendly. The place is really peaceful.

Charming place located in a natural paradise. Friendly staff and unique experience.

It was wonderful, we came for one night and finally stayed for two. The location is amazing, in the nature, The place is so beautiful as the facilities - the design of the rooms, and the fabulous garden , the pool, the food. We are thankful to the wonderful staff- the owner him self, Paola and anjela- Each of them was so kind . Thank you very much Shahar and Ariela

Gorgeous location, lovely property and room was great, very clean and comfortable with nice little touches. Great pool and loved being able to walk through the garden. Great to be able to walk out along the river and to the cave. Local restaurants within walking distance. Breakfast was amazing!

The virtual key to check-in didn't work which made the arrival a bit stressful but someone was around to help us into our room.
