  : Clean and spacious property close to a boardwalk. Quiet area. Tarajalejo isnt the most exciting place but with hired car it is definitely worth to explore the whole island. Wonderful beaches in the south and in the north. Many beautiful places to visit. And it is a great place for an active holiday. The kitchen should be supplied with a bit more utensils for cooking. Very friendly and helpful person who takes care of the Tarajalejo Village! Thank you :-)Uncomplicated, nice and immediate contact when booking this property. Also thank you.

  : Roomy and quiet place with a small private pool. Has almost everything a family or few friends could need for a stay.
  : Not the cleanest place. Stinky kitchen towels. Some dishes and kitchen apliences were dirty. No soap. Laundry machine but no detergent. Cheep and well used interior. The place is reached by off road. The place at night is rather dark.

Good
Traveller Type:
  : House is located in a quiet area, spatious rooms, 2 bathrooms and sufficient kitchen equipment.
  : The surroundings are not very appealing, the house is slightly outdated and not very clean (we discovered 1 cockroach in the kitchen)

Fair

  : Comfortable beds, good choice of TV channels.
  : Much could have been better, especially given the high price by Canarian standards - we arrived from properties in Lanzarote where we got much higher standard for much less money than we paid here. We especially did not like how ill-managed and ill-maintained the property was: No one was at the reception on arrival (which is no reception at all anymore actually, more a cleaning room or workshop) despite us having confirmed our arrival time. After a phone call, somebody came after 1/2 hour, showed us the apartment and gave us the keys. Both guys were friendly, that is not the issue here. Shortly after that, we discovered the WIFI router did not work. Another call, another hour of waiting, then another reminder call, yet another half hour of waiting and the guy came with a working WIFI router. Maintenance of the property substandard: We only really needed the WIFI, but other minor faults combined just dampened our holiday experience: Dirty area outside, wiggly railing at stairway inside and balcony outside, the missing fire alarm device in the sleeping room was found laying above the fridge in the kitchen. View from balcony is partly the sea, but also partly the run down area where this property is located. We did use Google Maps to get a fair look of it before the trip, and yes it looks quite nice - but those pictures are from 2012. This is in line with our general feeling that this once WAS a very nice property, but sadly neglected at least in the last years. The village as a whole was probably hit badly by the property crisis ten years ago - on Google Maps you still see a very nice hotel area between this property and the sea, but this area is now just terrible hotel ruins. I can unfortunately not recommend this place. I COULD have, if the price had been like 70-80 per night and not 130 . Such a price level will normally give you almost luxury in the Canaries. Reply to host: Not 7 minutes, at least 30 minutes. Have added a few realistic pictures.

  : location is awesome. There is a beach in the immediate vicinity. but there are better beaches within 10 km. with a clear sea with few waves. For example, Costa calma beach.
  : It's not nice to have cameras in the house.

Disappointing

  : The Villa has an amazing location with great views and close to the beach. The pool was very nice and heated.
  : There were cockroaches in the kitchen - when we told the manager about it, he said that this is normal and comes from the hotel. No effort was made to get rid of them. The kitchen has very few plates, glasses, etc. In general, a lot of the furniture is not in good shape. For example, one of the beds was broken when we arrived and had to be fixed the next day.

  : Big nice villa, nice views from the balcony, nice garden with pool.
  : Hot water quickly runs cold, barely for two people to shower. Also no soap in any of the bathrooms, kitchen is not equipped enough. Kitchen does not have basics, like salt or oil for cooking. Could do with a better coffee machine.
