Leon V.
Ole made a great host, offering a good breakfast, sharing what he knew about the area, and going out of his way to answer questions. The room at El Refugio was spacious and fully equipped, with a big bathroom, and everything was spotless. We really enjoyed staying here and would definitely tell people to choose it over a large, impersonal hotel.

Ole went out of his way to tailor the stay to what we wanted, sharing useful tips and thinking along with us about every part of the trip. His contacts also helped us get reliable drivers at a very reasonable price. The pousada was well cared for and a comfortable, relaxing place to stay, and the breakfast was complete and nicely prepared. We especially appreciated that the amount was adjusted to what we actually ate to avoid waste. We had a lovely time with such a warm and caring host. Highly recommend!

After a visit to the falls, the garden and pool are lovely places to unwind. The house itself is beautiful, well decorated, and fully equipped. The owner was friendly and attentive, and breakfast was excellent. A really great place to stay.

Lupe and Ole made the stay simply lovely. You’re made to feel part of the family right away, and they’re ready to help with whatever you need if you just ask. The amenities are a little more upscale, and there’s a pool with loungers in the small garden. It’s close to the city center too, and I’d highly recommend the place.

Really good pousada, with a beautiful setting and attentive staff. If you ask, they can take you to the attractions in private transport for the same or lower cost than tour agencies. Best stay I’ve ever had.
