The location was great, 5 min walk from port, 10 mins to town ( also bikes available from hotel). We cant say enough about the staff who served us dinner and breakfast, they were always smiling. The girl who cooked our dinner should be working as a master chef!!!! The manager, Pedro, was always around to help with any questions... More

This hotel is horrible. The manager of the hotel is rude. We asked for details of our bill and they could not be provided. We were charged a 22% tax which he could not explain.(Even though are booking.com confirmation clearly said 12% and no service charge) The hotel is actually not that bad, however the manager should NOT be in...

Dear Guest, We understand your inconvenient during your stay on our Lodge, but we warn you in advance about the service charge once you contacted us directly. About the food you always had the choice to eat or not in the lodge... and you decided every day to stay and eat there. More

In June, my now husband and I went on honeymoon to the Galapagos, Ecuador. An agency called Scuba Galapagos planned a trip for us to Galapagos and Papallacta near Quito. This hotel in the island of Isabela was an excellent choice. We come from a big city and it was nice to be in a hotel made ​​entirely of wood,... More

We very much enjoyed our stay. When travelling we do not eat salads/cut fruit and the kitchen specially made soup for us. Delicious food. Isabela Island was our favourite. More

Once my wife and me decided to go to the Galapagos, we chose Isabela as a starting point to discover the wonders of this incredible archipelago. We arrived on Isabela island with a booking in this refurbished hotel... "The Wooden House" and once we arrived, we discovered that it is much better than in the web site we booked it!!!... More

We stayed here for two nights. The room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. My only complaints: The TV was in a shared space, so you couldn't enjoy in privacy. And the walls are a little thin between rooms.The food in the restaurant was really delicious (though a little strange in its efforts to be "international"). More

Let me start by saying that there is a new owner of The Wooden House and as of August 2010, he has owned it for a little less than 6 months (I believe). I read the other review where they indicated it was the hotel from hell and that may very well have been in the past but that is... More

First, this establishment is under new ownership and has just opened under this new ownership in the past month. They are expecting to make many new changes in the future. It is a family run business and the family has connections to other islands in the Galapagos including their own boats. My room was clean, the bed was comfortable, and... More

We spent 3 days at the Wooden House and it could not have been nicer. The couple that run the hotel went out of their way to help us. Our room was very large and clean. The rate let us borrow kayaks, included a great breakfast and they even let us use the internet for free - something we had... More

We've traveled to all of the continents except one and our first night stay at the Wooden House Hotel on Isabela Island in the Galapagos was truly the worst. Here is what I wrote to the tour operators we had booked with on our return because we had a couple of bad experiences, but by far, this had to be... More
