Excellent location, good facilities, fair pricing.

The apartment was exactly as described so accurately portrayed and met expectations. Aircon worked very well. Equipment was somewhat different in style but overall good.

Fantastic hospitality

Borja is a fantastic manager for Koala. Great communication and super helpful. We had an accident while in Tarif, Borja went out of his way to help us, making sure we are comfortable and have everything we need. It was very touching to see Borja running around trying to sort things out for us. Thank you Borja!! Hopefully we will be back in Tarifa next year and stay in Koala again shortly. And hopefully that floor gets fixed hehe.

Very enjoyable and different !

Rooms and outside space were very unusual. We did have the outside space to ourselves though so not sure how we would’ve felt if sharing.

A perfect luxurious cosy stay in the heart of a beautiful town.

The property was extremely clean, hidden away on a small quiet street in tarifa, just a few minutes from the beach and the dock. The terrace on the roof was super cool and a perfect spot for a morning coffee!! Alfonso was one of the most helpful and kind hosts I’ve met, he even stayed there late with no extra charge as our bus was arriving later than the check in time.

The Koala Tarifa , quirky beautiful little gem, we will return for sure. Thank you Alonso x

This property is a little gem! perfect location, exceptionally clean, the Hosts, Alfonso are amazing. The property itself has been decorated with style, class and great design. They truly have thought of all your needs to make your stay unforgettable. They do not serve breakfast but provide good coffee, tea, fresh fruit cakes and pastries. They also make up your room everyday and clean towels. There is also outdoor space, rooftop terrace, and some of the rooms have private gardens. Beach towels are provided for your convenience. On checkout Alfonso looked after our cases until we were due to leave. If you ever go to Tarifa, you must stay at this Koala Tarifa. You will love it!
