“Very clean, strict owners”

he hostel is extremely clean, quiet, and in a great location close to hiking trails, with ample street parking. If you’re looking for a peaceful and tidy place, it delivers on that. However, the owner lives upstairs and is very strict and particular. I was repeatedly corrected and lectured about small things (detergent choice, where to place my flip-flops, how to use the stove and dishes despite posted instructions, stairwell lights, etc.). There were also multiple reminders about checkout, including very early on checkout morning. Another guest I spoke with had a similar experience. While the facilities are excellent, the atmosphere felt tense and overly monitored. If you prefer a relaxed, independent stay, this may not be the right fit.

“Great accommodation and would recommend to anyone”

Comfortable bedroom with a great shower and very comfortable bed. Loved the terrace. Great space to store bicycles. Very friendly and helpful owner.

“Good place to stay”

Nice owner and other guests

“Relaxing and friendly guesthouse, perfect base for hiking.”

Tabaiba guesthouse was fantastic. Karin and Sergio are really welcoming and very knowledgeable about the area. They have taken a lot of care to provide useful info for guests to plan their visit. The room was spacious and bed was really comfy! The kitchen was well stocked for cooking and breakfast was nice. I would recommend booking a guided hike with Sergio, h takes great care to share his knowledge of the wildlife and plants, and information about the area, and showed us beautiful views in the mountains.

“A very nice, calm and friendly guest house where you can meet people and do something together.”

Very nice with breakfast together with the other guests. I made some new friends. Very nice to participate in Sergios walking tours.

I only stayed one night, arrived late, left early - all perfect.

“Very good value enjoyed stay”

Quaint, homely,clean. Friendly host beautiful roof terrace value

“Lovely place to stay”

Lovely place in a lovely village. Beds were comfy, hosts really nice and friendly, and the kitchen and bathrooms were extremely clean! Breakfast was also OK. Great for hikers or solo travellers. Rooftop is exceptional!

“I will come back!”

Cozy guesthouse away from mass tourism, sunny roof terrace, everything was very clean, friendly and helpful hosts and it was easy as a solo traveler to feel at home and meet other people

“EXCELLENT! MUST READ THIS REVIEW”

First time solo hiking so this was perfect 5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very clean, no noise after 11 so everyone could get a good night sleep. Breakfast (8-9.30) was included so you got to know a few people when you went for breakfast. Lovely, warm-up welcoming hosts! Great book with all great recommendations of hikes, food things to do. 1 shower/toilet for 3 rooms which was never a problem. Lovely balcony up stairs, yoga mats and sitting area. Gym, pool and sauna 8 minutes away walking along the seaside.

“Nice, comfy and clean place to stay”

It's great to feel welcome - very friendly host! Nice and clean room, recommend!

There is absolutely nothing to complain about. Beautiful house with wonderful hosts. Amazing view from the terrace. The town is lovely. I had a fantastic stay and would love to return someday. I would recommend it to anyone!

“Hostel type accommodation”

Location was ideal. Very clean. Host very knowledgable about area.

“It was a wonderful experience and I would stay here again in a heartbeat, anyone considering? Do it.”

Everything was imaculately clean. This was so wonderful and comforting. It was also a wonderful first time hostel experience in that we had our own room. There was even a balacony on top of the building that was for community usage and it was such a beautiful view. The bus stop to get around was not far at all. They had books in the hostel that they made giving tipps for good places to eat, travel, things to do etc.. that was really thoughtful.

“Loved it.”

Fabulous, friendly, spotless. Great location, excellent value.

Liked the nearby city center and the surrounding scenery.

“Absolutely great!”

A really nice, super clean place with everything you need to spend a great time. Apart from what is written in other reviews, I especially loved and appreciated the amount of information the owners put together to give you tips and advise on what to visit, where to eat, hot to get where, the detailed information on hiking trails, the maps and books about tenerife, etc. I have not seen this anywhere else sand I found it absolutely awesome! Also, the location is great as Buenavista del Norte has great bud connections to Teno, Punta de Teno, El Palmar, etc. it is very easy to start hikes or trips from here and the town itself is very cute! plus the coastal walk is stunning! Last but not least, the owners are exceptionally welcoming and will make it difficult to leave;) I highly recommend!

“Hidden Gem!”

Sergio and Karin were were friendly and helpful hosts. The place was spotless and positioned closely to a lighthouse with amazing views.

A cozy and warm place to stay at. The room and bathroom were very clean. The guesthouse was the perfect location to start out from for many hikes due to its central location. Furthermore, Karin and Sergio were very kind hosts and gave us a lot of useful tips for hikes. Thank you for the wonderful stay and we will definitely come back one day!

Tabaiba Guesthouse is the perfect location if you want to visit the beautiful Parque Rural de Teno and a strategic start point to visit Parque Nacional del Teide if you want to avoid the crowd and the tourist mess of Tenerife South. Buenavista del Norte is a small village but offers all you need: groceries, shops, restaurants and bars. The house is an ancient and typical canary building, renovated with care and love by the owners. The view from the rooftop is simply amazing and offers a gorgeous set when you want to chill out after a hike! Karin and Sergio are truly lovely guests: they warmly welcome their hosts and take care of them during the stay. I would definitely recommend Tabaiba if you're planning to visit Tenerife North and if you like outdoor activities.
