Somos una familia de 4 y siempre visitamos ese lugar, Doña Mecho es muy buen ser humano, amable, servicial, y muy simpática. Y el administrador es muy cordial y educado.
Nada, me gusta todo
Lage zu Fuss: ca 15 Minuten zur Asotrapusa Busstation ca. 10 Minuten zum Supermercado Lindo ca. 20 Minuten zum Strand + Sauber, gepflegt + Handtücher + WC-Papier vorhanden + Dusche Warmwasser + A/C + Kommode, Sessel,... + Gemeinschaftsküche mit Kühlschrank + Trinkwassergalone zum trinken da + An und Für sich sehr ruhige Gegend + WLan ist OK + Sehr freundliche Empfangsdame + Für ein paar Nächte absolut immer wieder + Top Preis/Leistungsverhältnis
Nachbarshunde links und rechts haben kräftige Stimmen, ansonsten harmlos.
La camera ampia, pulita e con aria condizionata, ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo. Posizione centralissima E parcheggio interno per la macchina. Cucina e lavatrice in comune. Il vero punto di forza, però, è Mercedes, la signora che ti accoglie e ti fa sentire in casa, addirittura mi ha fatto lei la lavatrice e ha avuto la premura di stendermi i vestiti. Che dire, veramente perfetta.
Me gustó la ubicación, cerca del centro de las terrenas. Tiene ambientes cocina y lavadero compartido. La seguridad del hospedaje.
El Internet no funcionaba y la televisión sin señal.
Very disappointing stay. Despite informing the host of my arrival time, I had to wait 20 minutes before check-in. The Wi-Fi password took three hours to receive, and during the night the water was cut off with little explanation. If there are known issues like a cyclone, guests should be informed instead of renting out rooms without basic services. Poor communication and lack of professionalism. I would not recommend.
El formato super chulo y buenas atenciones. Todo lonque necesitas calidad precio. La señora nos recibe le doy 10 de 10beducada atenta
Rompa de cama y tollas y cocina un po más organizada.
I could make food and coffee. The bed was fine and the location was 20 minutes from the beach, also very close to the main roads. Worth the money.
The bathroom was cramped and parking was limited. Noisy dogs in the area.
A good place near the town center. A special thanks to Mercedes who receives the clients in a very friendly manner.
This place is amazing! If you are a budget traveler, having your own room for this price is just incredible! The rooms are simple, clean, the AC and fan work excellent, you have a fully equipped kitchen and you can even prepare Italian coffee ( they have the Italian moka), enjoy it at your own table, it is quiet (away from the main road, just some dogs nearby barking, but you are in the neighbourhood). I just enjoy my stay here! You can wash your clothes as well here! Thank you! The lady that welcomed me is just wonderful, like a mother! ❤️
I really like this place! The neighbourhood is ok, safe ( sometimes the dogs bark at you).
The location was quiet except for sometimes dogs barking. It was easy to rent a motorcycle from the property. The Wi-Fi was great, and staff was helpful.
When we got there, there was mold on the bathroom wall and down the side of the toilet. Also the pillows were moldy. This was corrected quickly.
Property looked very nice and clean.
They did not have any rooms even though I had a reservation, disappointing but apparently common in the DR when using booking.com
Nothing whatsoever! Absolutely a nightmare. We booked this place since it was close to Nicole Residence where our other family members booked. Unfortunately, Nicole Residence was fully booked, hence our decision (unfortunately) to book El Escondite.
Absolutely a nightmare. Foul smelling as we entered, we could not keep our clothes in the drawers as it had a smell of cockroach and was rancid as ever. They demanded we pay the entire 5 days costs at the start and we just could NOT last for more than one night. We roughed it out for that first night, they just had a very thin bedsheet which was not sufficient for their winter in late December....that led to a sleepless night. Their neighbour's dogs barking throughout the night and roosters crowing in the early hours made it a miserable one night as we were sleep deprived. The last straw was that there was no hot water (needed in late December) whatsoever to shower in the morning. We then decided to leave and despite requesting for a refund, we were refused. If there is a way to recover the 4 night's unused portion of our stay, we would appreciate it. Please see my profile and bookings of my travel with Booking.com. I have never complained of quality and services, but this place is a disgrace and I recommend should not be advertised for occupancy at booking.com I look forward to your positive action and I continue to be a loyal customer.
Shower barely works.
I liked that they had a private parking area. That's why I chose there. The room was nice. The bed was comfortable. Air conditioner worked great. They have a small mini fridge as well which was nice. They also have a small kitchen and washer and spinner. I was able to do my washing there and then put my clothes outside on the chairs and by the morning they were dry. The host was very nice as well. It is in town so you can go eat nearby. I felt safe.
You should take exact cash because sometimes they don't have change. Otherwise place was great. The parking area is limited so only a few cars can park.
acceptable
location
A quiet place close to the city center for car owners, you can park your car in a closed parking lot. The price is reasonable and suitable for a small room.
Notice that there is no hot water to shower. It was a surprise to me, and the owner of the place said he mentioned it on the website. It's not something people even ask today it's trivial to be. It wasn't bad, because it's hot outside and it's still better with hot water
The hotel is a good value in the town of Las Terrenas. I arrived from Santo Domingo after a 2+45 bus ride and walked from the main bus station to El Escondite in about 20 mins. The town beach is only another 20 mins and Las Ballenas Beach only took me about 30=40 mins from the hotel on foot. El Escondite has a shared kitchen, free water cooler and Netflix.
There was a confusion between the owner and the hotel manager so all the rooms were full when I arrived just after noon. The owner offered to put me in another location at a very fair price showing that he cares more about his reputation than anything else. The only downsides I saw to this hotel are that the rooms are small and you're not staying closer to the beach but it is certainly a good value for its location.
Staff was great
Not much
It has a AC
To small, to loud dogs at night.
I dont recommend it as it is literally in the slums. The price these people are charging in dominican republic is not worth it
Location is really bad
Good relation price quality. As we have car is perfect
Dont have hot water
The place looks exact like on the pictures, it s clean, airco and van, good attencion from the staff, you can use the kitchen fridge and plates etc, but not for cook a meal, but you can make a salad, toast bread for example. You can take water and coffee, get your clothes washed. It is a little bit of a walk to the beach but i didn t mind walking it once a day and the other time i grab a motor taxi who are every where to be found. The neighbourhood felt safe
The room was very nice and clean with refreshing air-conditioner. The location was a bit away from the noisy streets, which we liked, and still easy to find and reach. The parking space was small but all manageable. The owner was very kind and communicative, he adapted to our time too. Will recommend.
Small shower stall.
- comfortable accomodation with airconditiom and good kitchen - free water
- I needed to wait a long to for a host to come and to make check-in - wi-fi was not so strong
The owner, Gerson, was excellent when unfortunately on the first night the electricity went out due to some kind of fault and without power and no air-conditioning it was impossible to sleep in the melting heat. He felt very apologetic for a fault that really wasn't his and the following day he returned all the money I paid for the 2 nights stay I was suppose to have there. This is very good customer services when something goes wrong! The price is very good for Las Terrenas if you don't mind a 20 minutes walk to the seafront where you have the beach and all the restaurants/nightlife
The room and the bathroom are tiny
I spent a week here! the place is Super quiet, the location is central in las Terrenas, the rooms are very clean and the staff super kind and helpful!
It was all good, for this price I could not ask for more!
Big room with AC. Fairly centrally located if you come by car or scooter.
There would be fights about the parking. The parking was so small and 2 monster trucks would take up all the space. Sometimes I would have to park in the street and on one occation another guest knocked at my door and asked for me to move my car (the parking is built so 2 cars will block the other 2 cars from exiting). So you had to always move your vehicles around when someone wanted in or out. The parking was a hassle honestly but everything else was great. If you come by scooter you should be fine...
The place was pretty clean
It was very basic, the internet was very bad. It didn't work in the room at all and outside it worked sometimes with a very low signal
They have an air conditioner didn't expect that!
Need a bigger mirror
Nice and easy going staff and a good location
I specifically choose this hotel because it was close to bus station, so for me location made sense, but beach is very fur from it, at least 30 min by foot. Room was clean, comfortable bed, friendly staff.
Noisy at night, because of dogs. No sink in kitchen. Far from beach.
the owner was great and meeting other solo travelers
walking distance to the beach 10-15 min
The girl who work there very kind and helpful
If u like hotel full of dogs this is your place..dog barking all day and night..is a nightmare...
The room was so clean and comfy! It is in a great location, just a 5 minute walk to one of the Main Streets of Las Terrenas and a 20 minute walk to the beach. The little outdoor table and chairs is lovely to enjoy a tea or coffee in the morning.
The place would be even better if there was a sink in the little kitchen area to rinse dishes etc. but I still had a great stay!
Simple. Safe. Gated. Bed was comfortable. I requested extra pillows and they accommodated that. water cooler outside to have clean drinking water. Room had AC and a Fan.
Toilet was really close to the wall. You needed to Be an Acrobat to sit down on the toilet! lol There was no hot water in the shower. It was uncomfortably cold shower water. They need to put a mirror over the sink in the bathroom. the mirror is located in the other room where the Bed is. It’s really far walk to Playa Poppi or Playa Bonita for surfing. The location isn’t great. In order to Get to the good part of town or beaches you really need to Hire a Moto Scooter/ or a Moto Conho.
Everything about the stay was top notch excellent! For the price you will actually be surprised how well it is maintained and kept by the owner... It is simple, clean and basic... Has a kitchen if we need to use the fridge or microwave... The owner goes the extra mile to make sure his guests are okay.. love it!
Nothing!
It's a small basic room for a good price. It's clean. There is private, fenced parking.
Friendly staff, good location
Only cold water
Nice layout, with all the BASIC essentials, friendly staff and drinkable water.
No kitchen facilities, WiFi wasn't working.
You will have really beautiful appartement for good money in the safe neighborhood. The owner is really nice and it is easy to agree on something with him. The place is safe, there is a courtyard with gate where you can park your scooter if you have one.
Super friendly staff and everything seems new and clean
No blankets
the place was as listed and the owner resolves immediately any problem one can have. extremely polite persons there.
i wish It had a kitchen or a place to cook so i could have stay longer
