Gato Azul - Coliving

“It was awful to put it mildly. Still sad about it all. And still haven’t received the refund that was approved by bookin”

To be very honest, I did not like anything at all about the property. I hated my experience and it was and still is a huge regret! Firstly, Getting there was a tug of war! The transport from the airport first struggled to get the car through the road and to find the address. So he drove past and I add to walk all the way back up. Then it was a nightmare to push suitcase over the very steep road trying to find the property in the dark (which wasn’t properly signposted). Inside the property is quite busy and mismatched. The photos aren’t the same inside! The main issue is that the property is freezing cold to the point that another guest who was sleeping came out in thick hoodies and was shivering, she held a hot water bottle close to her chest. Poor thing! She told me “it’s freezing here” the same room they were going to put me! That’s when I said, ‘sorry I can’t stay here’ I don’t want to catch pneumonia! I had to find another hotel by midnight, hire a taxi and left. The lady in the house (caretaker) wasn’t making anything easy nor sympathetic at all. She was cold! I requested a refund which was approved. The owner didn’t accept liability but agreed to pay me back. I didn’t stay one night out of the 10 nights booked. (Sure they rented it ) He agreed and then 48 hrs after they said it has expired because I didn’t respond to the time sensitive email nobody told me about? Respond to what? To say that I want the refund that I requested and somehow fought for? Up till now, they still haven’t refunded me. Otherwise I won’t be so sad and leaving this bad but honest review. Everything !

“Al final de una cuesta larguísima y empinada”

It was an old house with pretty décor and a fully equipped kitchen, but it was cold and my bedroom had a window with only a mosquito net, good for ventilation but when it rains and is cold you have to close it.

It was very well located, but it was very cold at night in the room, there was a lot of dampness and they kept the windows open with mosquito nets, I guess that’s why.

“Relaxt verblijf in een sfeervolle accommodatie”

The vibe at home combined with the people was great; nothing else.

“Schönes Coliving am Fuße des El Teide.”

I stayed in a lovely house close to the center of La Orotava, with great décor and a relaxed, friendly vibe. Depending on your mood you can hang out with other guests or just do your own thing, and the crowd is mostly people who cowork, which feels different from a typical hostel. The downside is that the house is a bit noisy and poorly insulated – normal for Tenerife, but worth knowing. There were also some discrepancies between the Booking description and reality, so read the details carefully and ask questions beforehand.
