The rather difficult to find door on a small street opens up to a surprisingly modern home. We were the only guests, but I expect the noise level would be high from guests coming and going. Certainly the door bell resounded throughout the house. The enclosed parking as promised turned out to be not so enclosed with an asleep guard... More

I've stayed twice at the Tabuba Guest House, and I'm about to arrange another stay for my wife and children over the Christmas break. The operators (Jamie and Vanessa) really care about their guests, making sure that you enjoy your stay. The rooms are very clean, roomy, and well equipped with adequate linens, cable TV, internet and AC. There is... More

After spending the past 1 and 1/2 years traveling outside of Ecuador, there is sincerely nothing more refreshing than returning to a place where you feel cared for and safe and just totally relaxed. In Guayaquil that place is Tabuba. Since my first stay with them over two years ago, I have been back 4 times. Each time, everyone at... More

This is my second review. The first was written practically hours before my second trip to Ecuador. I was to stay in this guest house for the second time. I thought that all had been checked - the hostal, the pick up driver, etc.I thought those people reliable, which is why I booked my second stay and made sure that... More

We found them on Trip Advisor, so we're giving back. Stay here! Private, secure, and reasonably priced taxi service to / from the airport was a huge attraction. Ask for Filipe. The husband-wife-baby team that runs the hotel is adorable. Their rooms are classy, clean, and well air-conditioned, but there were some ants and cracks on the walls (common in... More

A very nice place with cool people, clean rooms, close to the airport. We stayed there twice before and after going to Galapagos. With taxi drive we could visit the centre of Guayaquil and also get the airport. I liked the triple room the most!!! I can recommend this place surely!!!

Stayed just for one night prior to going to the Galapagos. Rooms were beautiful and had a king sized bed. Staff were incredibly helpful, great advice and service. Would not hesitate recommending this place. It is hard to find. If you ask to go to the Sana Sana pharmacy on Sauces 2. When looking at the pharmacy there is a... More

Search no further because Tabuba is a great spot! The couple running the hostel is super helpful - definitely going out of their way. Jaime (the dueno) is willing to help out at all hours with everything that you need and is concerned about your safety. We paid a bit extra for the airport pickup w Felipe but it was... More

We spent 45 minutes in a taxi after 10 hours in the air, and even after the taxi driver getting out of the car twice to ask for directions, radio-ing and driving in circles, we finally gave in and had to find somewhere else. Not sure if anyone else had this problem, but a city known for being fairly unsafe... More
