    We got the last room under a sloped roof unable to stand up completely. The shower head had to be held by hand whilst sitting in the tub. Breakfast supposed to be 0km. with natural local food. We noticed the bread came from the supermarket, and too much sweet food. Should have been a healthier breakfast.

    The Style of the posada rural is very nice. Maintaining originality with the area.

    You can hear the other guests move in the bed. Every single sound. The bed was exceptionally hard and I kept waking up due to discomfort. (I am fit and healthy with no pre-existing conditions). Expensive coffee.

    Nice quiet location. Rustic and old. Nice pillows.

    "Didn't like" doesn't exactly describe my reservations in recommending this hotel: there was no point at which I felt dissatisfied, just...off kilter. There are instances where a rather extreme form of generosity (e.g. the regular burger was huge, and was impossible for me to pick up and eat) collide with a very different aesthetic (no sauce or even vinegar was offered as condiment for my fries, and the utensils I was given were a small, disposable wooden knife and fork that could barely handle the burger). I wouldn't describe my stay as unsatisfactory...more bemusing.

    This stay was entirely in keeping for the price I paid, but was a genuinely confusing stay. Those booking should be aware that cards are not accepted, so bring cash for your room and for anything you would like to purchase in the bar/restaurant. It is also conveniently located for those traveling El Camino del Norte.

    They only accept cash, no cards, which is a bit annoying, but no big deal, just keep it in mind. There were quite a few flies coming and going, probably because the location is surrounded by beautiful grazing land with cows and horses, but it wasn't too bad.

    Very beautiful area, friendly hosts, everything was spotlessly clean, and the room was decent. The rooms are themed, which is good for a laugh. Sadly it was raining when we were there, but it seems there are plenty of nice things to go and see in the area. Their gin & tonic special is an absolute winner.

    More like family pension rather than a hotel. Food a bit overpriced. The window broken and leaking during rain. Bathroom facilities could use some upgrade. Towels with permanent stains. Limited lights in the room.

    Breakfast at 9.30 is quite late.

    Quiet rural location with nice views. The gin and tonics were excellent, and the burgers quite tasty. The room was Ok, although rather tired looking.

    Breakfast not good value for money nice cafe in the village for half the price and twice as nice The patio area was roped off looking at some older reviews it's been like this for a long time A few patio tables comfy chairs and parasols would make a great difference as the views are breathtaking There is a bar it opens at 6pm but you wouldn't use it as no where to sit outside Our room had a terrace but again no outdoor furniture so nothing to sit on Such a shame as it really is a lovely looking place

    This hotel has stunning views ,we where happy with the accomodation It has so much potential but think the guy who owns it is on his own says all his staff on holiday but looking at the reviews don't think he has any. The town is lovely and the beach really nice you have to be there early for a parking space tho

    We paid extra for a jacuzzi when it was barely working (and when it was it had very poor pressure). The shower was also broken and poorly fixed so it was impossible to shower without getting everything wet. The room decoration and furniture needs some improvement. We only tried the breakfast very overpriced for what it is….

    The location was great and the staff was friendly

    I had the Brad Pitt suite, but I'd rather of had the Angelina Jolie suite if it existed lol 🤣 Just a joke guys

    Lovely place. We loved the rural location with the sounds of cows mooing in the morning. Very cosy room, nice all round.
