Really cool lodge in a great location on the island, easy to walk anywhere you need to go! Staff was very friendly and helpful on giving suggestions on where to go. Highly recommend!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The property itself was okay, but there are no amenities here. I selected this place for the area, and that is what I got. It is only a 5 minute walk from the main part of town, and the host is more than able to arrange anything you want to do on the island. I had to make this as a last minute booking so the host had not received my booking when I got to the location. So if you can make sure to book in advance. Also for us from the USA, make sure you have cash for your stay, as I was advised they do not take credit cards.
This place really does look like the photos! It's whimsical and interesting, and feels just like being in big tree house!
You see something different wherever you look, all the rooms are on different levels, and the steps and railings are all made of branches. There is even a bridge to cross over a "mote", where one of the rooms is. This is the feeling you want when you are in the Galapagos environment - natural, interesting, fun.
The only drawbacks are the water pressure and the wifi, but I hear this is a problem everywhere on the island. I was never around at breakfast, so I cannot comment on that.
This place had an amazing location with the cutest rooms and community areas. It was helpful to me that owner spoke English as my Spanish isn’t very good. The only thing I didn’t prefer about property was the artificial air fresheners in rooms. Everything else was perfect!
Lonesome George was a unique and beautiful property, and I felt really comfortable here. Aaron was extremely responsive and helped me with recommendations and booking tours to make my trip in the Galapagos really excellent. I would definitely stay here again. Lovely communal spaces and rooms!
Loved the style of the place and the location was very good being close to the main street in Puerto Ayora. Overall was comfortable and clean. If I was to say one drawback, it would be that someone is not always available in person at the reception area (but was given a WhatsApp number to call if needed). When they are there, everyone was helpful, informative and helped as needed.
