Loved staying at Captain Max's Hostel. It was welcoming, clean and the room was spacious. Captain Max is the kindest man and very accommodating. He was friendly and made a delicious breakfast in the morning. Additionally, the location is great and just a street over had a strip of great seafood restaurants. Our stay was great and the value for the money was excellent.

Very comfortable stay. Even with language barrier the staff did their best to make our stay as smooth as possible. Breakfast was great! Rooms were spotlessly clean and staff went above and beyond to help in anything. The location of the hotel is also very convenient for the ferry and all of the attractions in Santa Cruz island.

Lovely at home feel with Max, Lourdes, and their Son. Beautifully decorated, boutique experience. If we could have stayed in Galápagos longer would 10/10 book again. Location was perfect, especially for seeing the wildlife, ice cream, and quick 6km runs to the beach!

My husband and I LOVED our stay! The owners are incredibly friendly and helpful- they were able to answer questions about transportation, dining recommendations, and more. There was a delicious homemade breakfast every morning. The rooms are spacious and very clean. They even helped us book our inter island ferries. The location is also perfect- quiet street but right next to everything you need in Puerto Ayora. If you’re staying on Santa Cruz, you will not regret booking here!
