If not for the $10/bed we were offered (we are a group of 6 backpackers) we would've gone elsewhere. The rooms we were given were clean, had a bathroom, tv, and fan. The water pressure in the shower and sink is pretty good, but there's no hot water. The toilet however is a different story. For some reason, the pressure... More

I'm lying on my bed in salinas right now, awake since 6.15 when they turned on the music down in the comunal area (theres no window but just mozzie net in our room). The staff just doesnt care about being quite early in the mornings, they whistle, scream to their kids etc. The 38$ for our really spacious room is... More

The accommodation is less than basic. The bathroom was flooded and looked very unsanitary. The lady at reception was the grumpiest, least friendly person I had ever met. I wanted a single room.

Arriving at the galapagos islands we were full of excitement! We checked into the salinas and organised a tour for the next day. This was all very easy and straightforward..... However we soon realised all was not calm at the salinas, the family who own the place were not welcoming in any way and questions were met with a less... More

The "Hotel" Salinas offers, clean, basic, air conditioned and overpriced rooms in a location where superior alternatives lie literally within 100 yards in all directions. What it makes up for in cleanliness, it lacks in customer service in a major way. Believe me, I'm not fussy. For some people customer service just isn't their thing. And that's ok because they... More
