Breakfast was very nice, and the service was helpful and friendly.

Amazing location (but a short walk away from the main street), very friendly staff, stylish decorations and comfortable rooms!

Owner was friendly and flexible with check in, we came late and left early.

Both Isabel and Cristian were lovely and friendly - Isabel had a knack for predicting the exact time the sun would shine😀.

Isabel and Cristian were very friendly and helpful, by email before we arrived and also while we were there to book restaurants and a taxi.

The team working in the hotel is extremely friendly and caring.

The hosts were very friendly and helpful and recommended several interesting sites for us to visit.

Nice views of the Hermigua valley, delicious breakfast - and above all extremely friendly and helpful service.

Staff were very friendly and helpful, we were up graded from a budget twin to a standard double overlooking the valley.

Other guests also friendly and collaborative. Recommended.

The staff is extremely friendly and helpful and the breakfast was something we thoroughly enjoyed.

The hotel staff were friendly and helpful.

We have just come back from staying here for 3 nights - what a cracking little rural hotel with really friendly, helpful staff.

A pleasant place to stay with friendly staff to help if needed.

The proprietors are extremely friendly and helpful, and a delight to deal with.

Unfortunately the hotel does not offer dinner.

The village has nothing to offer and closes down after dark (at least in March) with only 3 proper restaurants open resulting in lines forming outside after 7.00 p.m.

Isabel was very helpful when we had a hot water issue and fixed it straight away.

Thanks to Isabel and her team, we had a lovely week in this hotel.

The manager goes beyond everything and is so helpful and a quick response time.

Isobel was very helpful prior to our arrival.

though the reception wasn’t occupied when arriving our room key was ready.

Our flight back was the 20th, and Jet2 (who also responded wonderfully in our experience) kept to the schedule, flying from Tenerife South to Leeds Bradford at 20:10.

All the staff are always available to help if needed, we owe a special thanks to Isabel for being amazing to us.

The staff (Isabel, Christian and Jacob) are extremely helpful, with lots of good suggestions for walks and excursions.

The hotel is as others have said more like a very good guesthouse as the team are only on site twice a day.

The breakfast was exquisite and Isabel and Christian were always on hand to answer our many questions -superb ambassadors for La Gomera .

Christian was so lovely, very accomodating and was happy to sort reservations and taxis for us.

Lovely staff, all very welcoming and helpful.

There are no TVs in the rooms (why does anyone want a TV on holiday?

Unfortunately there is no wifi in the rooms and there are no tvs in the rooms.

No TV or creature comforts in the dark rooms.

Our room was a bit on the small side and had no TV.

The rooms don't have TV in them, which was not a problem for us.

At this time (end of May) a lot of places seemed to be closed both here and the close by villages.

Just back from a short stay in Los Telares in Hermagua.Though reception was closed on our arrival, we found our room easily.We checked in the following day,Liz at reception is very helpful.The apartments are basic

We got two emails, explaining how to get to the hotel and explaining how to get to our room in case the reception was closed.

Arriving at 3 pm the reception was closed, with a list of names and room numbers stuck in the window.

Friendly staff who even brought my forgotten favourite shirt 20 km to San Sebastián.

The restaurant down the road has it's own veggie garden, lot's of vegetarian and vegan options (own recipies) and the two waitresses were so chatty and friendly.

The member of staff on Reception the next day was very informative and friendly.

but the two persons I met were very friendly and eager to help and make your stay enjoyable.

Beautiful views, very helpful and friendly staff, and a wonderful breakfast every morning.

Finally the multilingual welcome from reception was fantastic and so friendly .

Ana answered queries via email before our arrival promptly and Liz on reception was friendly and helpful.

Very friendly and helped plan our trips around the island.

It is difficult to locate them otherwise (even with the superb efforts of the reception staff who are extremely knowledgeable and friendly).

The staff were friendly, professional and very helpful.

The next day we went to the reception to check in and out (as we only stayed one night) and here too we met the friendly staff of the hotel.

La Gomera and Hermigua particularly is that kind of place you’ll keep in your heart.

Instant replies on WhatsApp and a heater provided immediately.

We didn’t really interact that much with the staff,

THE five STARS are for the genuine surroundings and lovely room and for the INCREDIBLY NICE STAFF.

Our room was clean and the staff were really friendly, too.

The morning staff were also very friendly and helpful.

Owner, Audaz, manages this lovely peaceful, friendly and very clean hotel and apartments.

I thought smoking rooms disappeared in the 50's anyway?

I asked for a non smoking room and was given a room 107 on first floor.

even though it reeked of smoke and had a smoking allowed sign.

My understanding is that the hotel is non-smoking throughout, so I do not understand earlier reviewer marshall01's comments (unless prior guests had flauted the rules).

The worst thing was going to bed under a top cover strongly smelling of smoke. Awful.

The people on reception were so enthusiastic about the island.

Stayed just the one night,could not fault the cleanliness and the very handy location
Only 5 mins from the port
Simple and efficient check in /out
The room was basic,but spotless and when the very reasonable price is added in,it made for a great stay

The staff is nice and the rooms are cleaned daily.

Great room,staff lovely,stayed whilst awaiting ferry,located close to ferry pirt,parking nearby,great price and value,no air con or hairdryer though!!

We arrived in San Sebastian only to realize I had accidentally booked a room for the wrong date - Davide at reception couldn't have been more helpful and managed to find us a room

The staff where helpful when I needed anything.

I also valued positively the kind reception and professional, ambitious management.

The reception its clean and welcoming, the room its big and bed comfortable plus a breakfasts that you can eat as much you can for a extra few euros.

They help with directions, recommend good restaurants and always ready to answer questions with the best of knowledge.

Really friendly and helpful staff who simply wanted our visit to be good .

It’s clean and comfortable and the only downside was that the windows opened onto a well in the building so there was no view of anything

The windows did not lock and the noise created by the other guests general movement was a distraction.

On arrival all windows, curtains and shutters were closed and room has strong smell of smoke.

It was not heated, and in February, the water was freezing.

Our apartment had neither heating or aircon and our unsuccessful attempts to obtain a heater revealed the fact that the apartments are managed from Tenerife and that escalating  a problem to a manager is not an option.

While the apartments have air conditioning this was not available in March.

When the toaster blew the trip switch they replaced it with a brand new one straight away.

On the last night we had noisy neighbours arrive and their cigarette smoke blew into our apartment so we had to close the doors.

I had to ask for a hairdryer at the reception,

The failure to provide a hair dryer (company policy as highlighted over a full page in the room rules book) presented another apparently unresolvable problem.

Herself was annoyed with a laminated notice telling us that the establishment did not have a hairdryer !! 'Really?'

The ladies at reception are very friendly and helpful.

Great find , very reasonably priced , friendly helpful staff .

We found all the staff friendly and helpful.

the apartment is clean and the staff extremely friendly and helpful.

The lady at reception was very friendly and helpful.

The receptionist Esther was always friendly and helpful.

We love La Gomera, it's like going back in time, the pace of life is wonderful, people are so friendly and we know we can relax here.

Andrea wS very friendly and came to meet us and check us in when we came in on the later ferry.

The receptionist was helpful and friendly and spoke good English.

Tapahuga apartments are perfectly located in the village for all amenities, their staff were very helpful and friendly and we have just booked to go again as it was so enjoyable.

The service was excellent from the beginning, with a very helpful, friendly receptionist, lovely clean, well appointed and equipped rooms.

however improvement works are on-going on the avenue in 2018, resulting in lot of noise, preventing enjoying the ocean vue of ocean side apartments.

NIGGLES : abundance of ' DO NOT' notices which was over done.

However, we were too late to book the South facing rooms which overlook the bay outside, as we visited at short notice.

Once again the Tapahugas staff rose to the occasion.

The receptionists were very nice and helpful, the apartment was very spacious, very modern with everything you need for a comfortable stay.

They are very clean and the cleaning staff are lovely.

The reception staff are intelligent, helpful, personable, kind and speak acceptable English

The apartments are well equipped and spacious and their system of letting the staff know if you want your apartment cleaned or not works very well.

Had a great 4 days here
Well equipped apartment opposite a busy little harbour
Staff lovely and helpful
Nice little bars and restaurants nearby
Our room was in the second floor over looking the back, which was ok
They have an amazing roof terrace with a pool and sun beds and lovely views.

The staff were very helpful and there is fresh fruit every day at reception.

Staff were helpful, and with a sea view it would probably be nice.

The woman at the reception desk didn't speak English that well

We went down to reception and the kettle was almost immediately replaced and after some work the two ring cooker was also replaced.

Conveniently positioned in Playa Santiago on the beach in front of the harbour, the Apartamentos Tapahuga was very clean and the staff very helpful and welcoming.

We slept with the balcony doors open and all we heard were the lovely sound of the waves, The staff were pleasant and helpful and we particularly enjoyed the bowl of sweets and fruit at the reception.

Wifi

Breakfast room very dark and food adequate .

Breakfast room is locked and not opened until after 8am.

The breakfast room is not unlocked until 8.30am and closed during the day so it is impossible to relax anywhere other than your room or collect emails etc.

We were locked out of he breakfast room (which houses the wifi) until 8am on the dot every morning - despite him being in the room

but it’s charming and not sure what people expect- : our rooms at the top (9 and 10) required a couple of flights of stairs but were quite large and had nice dark wood floor, doors and windows and the shutters and doors opened out onto small balconies with views up the valley.

The only shortcomings, which make this a 4-star rather than a 5-star review, were: (i) that the main window shutters did not open, so the room  was dark and we had no view; and (ii) the hot water took forever to get through to the tap or shower, meaning that many litres had to be run through the system before showering, which makes a rather big dent in the Hotel's commendable commitment to environmental responsibility.

Breakfast was excellent with very friendly team.

We were welcomed by Maria who was very friendly and hospitable.

The lady on reception was friendly and we ordered dinner the 1st night.

Wonderful location with a very friendly owner (speaks some English

The location is great, breakfast was delicious and Jordi is very kind, friendly and helpful.

Dinners in the two local restaurants recommended by Jordi were wholesome and enjoyable with very friendly staff.

Best of all the owners were very friendly and helpful and I'm sure we would enjoy staying there again in warmer weather.

I can't recommend this quiet, friendly hotel enough.

We stayed two nights here on a walking holiday and were greeted by the friendly owners, Jordi and Maria.

Staff was very friendly and helpful and the breakfast buffet was quite good.

The owners were very friendly and made us feel completely at home.

Rooms are small and there is no communal indoor space - not great when the weather is poor.

Jordi runs this small hotel in Vallehermoso with enthusiasm and pride.

There was no Wifi in the room only at the reception area which was free to use.

The rooms are nice and scattered above the reception area.

Jordi was a fabulous host, couldn't do enough for us.

We arrived late afternoon after walking a spectacular 16 km up and down mountains from Agulo and were welcomed warmly.

The owners provided a very warm welcome and were happy to provide picnic lunches to take on our walks.

but simple rooms, and an owner who is very dedicated to his work.

Plenty of dos and things not to do - pay extra if you want towels changed.

Thin bedding and towels and poor toiletries.

There is no heating in the hotel, not even a heated towel rail, so do take some warm clothing.

but heater & blankets in basic but functional room.

I'm not a fan of white (seemingly stale) bread and bananas so I was pretty much stuffed as to what I could eat.

Even with the plug-in radiator on full we were still cold.

In our room there was an oil radiator which we put on and that warmed the room a little.

But the rooms have heaters and someone even lit a wood fire downstairs in the lounge area of the hotel, so we could have a warm sit down after supper.

As another reviewer said, the bedrooms were quite cold,

The floors are very cold  and the ceiling is high do it takes time to heat.

It is over 1000 metres and it gets cold at night, or even in the daytime if the sun isn't shining- wearing fleeces indoors seems to be the norm.

though that everyone working there are so friendly.

The is a simple walkers hotel; friendly service lots of food and can’t be faulted for local character.
