Very clean, comfortable with a good quality towel and soap provided - small things that cost nothing but make a nice difference :)

Super cute accommodation run by a lovely and kind family, felt super welcomed and they kindly offered support for any occasion. Room itself is simple but given the price it's totally fair and reasonable. Only a 7 minute walk from the Playa Mann too

“Friendly little place with Good value”
This little place is run by a nice lady. She really takes care and the place is well maitained and clean. If you are the 2st to book you'll get a privat shower room with separate enterance. Other rooms are in the family space. There are some 10-15 min. Walk to the centre, but shops and local restaurents are nearby. The hot water are inconsitent and also depend on the room you are in. Summary: good value, somewhat remote with an excellent host

“Exactly what you need :)”
Stayed here in October 2025 and everything was perfect. There are reviews regarding the 'long walk' into town, when in reality it took a short 10 minutes, and its a lovely walk. Host and her family are so kind, property was super clean and in a safe neighbourhood. Perfect for solo travellers on the island who need budget friendly accommodation and nothing too glamorous :)

Great value, room super clean and lots of natural light. Lovely hosts. WiFi was the fastest I had in the Galapagos. Short walk from town - only 10 mins though. Would recommend!

“For none fussy travelers”
It’s a gentle uphill near the hospital which is 15-20 minutes away from Puerto Baquero Moreno. Vanessa, the owner showed me the en-suite room with 2 beds, a single & a double with electric fan & a window. She gave me the San Cristobal tourist map & offered a 360 degrees island tour for $140. A water dispenser is available to refill the water bottle for free. A towel is included to use. However, the kitchen is exclusively for the family use only. Nothing much to highlight except it’s good for budget travelers needing just bed & shower, not fussy.

It's not in the center of town, but the town is pretty small so only a 15/20 min walk to the beach and pier. Got a small private room and bathroom for a reasonable price, you're basically living in the family home. Free drinking water provided.

Nice, clean room in a little house with private bathroom. Drinking water provided, the hosts were nice. The location was a little far from the center and it would've been nice if you were allowed to use the kitchen. Generally a great option and very good price.

“Simple, budget friendly accomm.”
Simple, basic, budget friendly, does the trick. No complaints. Hosts were very lovely and helpful (though no english, so practise your basic spanish!). Short easy walk to town. San Cristobal is very safe so no issues walking to and from the accomm any hour of the day.

The host was lovely. She gave us some information about the best tourist spots when we arrived. She also gave an extra blanket when we asked. The beds were comfortable. The room and bathroom have outdated decor (as pictured) and clean on initial glance (there are some cobwebs in the corner and bugs like ants and a cockroach are able to get in due to the nature of how the building is constructed. It was nice to have a big fan, strong WiFi, and access to drinking water in the family home. The shower has tepid water. A 12 minute walk to the centre of town/ferry port.
