A few advantages: good internet, good water pressure, good breakfast. The owner is very nice and always ready to provide information. He kindly allowed us a late checkout.

“Like visiting a family”
Family approach: felt like a guest in an Ecuadorian Galapagueño family. Awesome service, immediate reaction to questions and eagerness to help. Recommend for families and individual travellers.

“Cozy stay and helpful host”
The host is very reliable. Before arriving, I asked him many questions about itinerary planning, airport shuttle and etc. He answered one by one to the end once checking in. The breakfast is very good and he also asked taxi driver to come through on time and ensure we catch the plane. The rooftop dining area is very comfortable and lovely. We took several pictures there.

Good AC, great hot water and wifi was sufficient. Hosts were very responsive on WhatApp. There was no water one morning and they pretty promptly delivered a bottle of water in the meantime. There were no other problems with water at any other time. Not too noisy and away from the main strip which made it feel more authentic. It had a nice enclosed outdoor eating area on the top floor. The area felt safe. They took the effort to make swans out of the towels which made it feel like there was attention to detail. There was a large full-length mirror which was super helpful when getting ready to keep the bathroom free for showering. There was tour information in the same building & a water jug to refill your water bottles.

The place was great. We like everything about it with the exception of a so-so shower.

A perfect place to stay in Puerto Ayora. Friendly and really helpful staff, nice room with TV, air conditioner, good new matress and pillows. Change of towels every day. Great breakfast. A bit far from the city center (10-15 minutes walking) but for that a really calm and safe street and nice local restaurants next to the hotel. Taxis come every 10-15 minutes even early in the morning, so you can easily come to the city center if you don't want to walk (a taxi ride costs 1,5 dollars). I enjoyed my stay in the Island Home.
