Stunning, unique design and the owners are lovely - very friendly, flexible and happy to help with anything. The location is right in the heart of the old town, tucked away in a small alley - this means not much sun or natural light (as is the case with most of the old town), but easy access to everything. Very... more

Hello to everybody! this was the second time we stayed in Koala and we never get enough!! Everything is perfect! The apartments are very cool, clean and you feel like at home! The breakfast included was amazing! The most important thing on top of the very efficient service is the conversation you can have with the owners: the wondeful Marta... more

We stayed over a week at KOALA APPARTMENTS in Tarifa and it felt like home. You don´t get the impression of being at a hotel, it´s cosy and you can even cook at the appartment. Marta and Bjorn, the owners, are absolutely nice and helpful. Great fancy decoration. Located in an old beautiful building in the centre of Tarifa but... more

We (2 guests) spent one week, first in the 'Akalo' apartment (with access to the solarium terrace), and then in 'Lakoa' (with access to the inner garden). Both apartments are very tidy and truly beautifully arranged and look even better than on the photos. Hotel: The owners and staff are very friendly, speak English, German as well as Spanish and... more

It is obvious that the owners of this hotel have a background in design. Everything has been carefully thought through and use of space is excellent. We had the topmost room in the hotel, the Akalo, which is also the smallest I think. We had direct access up some steps to the rooftop "solarium", a great little space for reading... more

We originally intended to stay om Tarifa for only 2 nights, but after stumbling upon Koala on our 2nd day, we stayed for 8! During our stay we had 2 rooms. 1 was very small - perfect if you only need 1 or 2 nights. The 2nd was a larger self contained apartment with 2 double beds, a spacious living... more

First off, Tarifa is a nice little town, very different from the Costa del Horrible to the east, with a cool downtown/old town area. The Koala is on a very small lane and up a small lane, and does not have a very visible sign, so we had a hard time finding it, and had to call and Bjorn came... more
