Beautiful facility in a very quiet and scenic setting ideally suited for rest. The rooms are modern, well furnished, and clean. The kitchen and bathroom included everything we needed. We will return.

Great to hear Donald. Thank you. Message anytime if you have any issues.
First time user but won't be the last
This was the first time I had used Houfy and it won't be the last. They are very transparent in their costing model and do not make you feel you are being ripped off. They had a great selection of properties in the area I was looking at and the website is very easy to use.

Fair vacation rental pricing
I greatly appreciate having Houfy as an option. Fees have become too high on Airbnb and VRBO, making vacation rentals unaffordable. I would rather my money go to the owners than corporations.

First time
First time using this company. Found it rather cumbersome. Didn't like having to upload a picture of myself and my driver's license after the fact. Felt like there were too many hoops to jump through compared to renting with other companies I've dealt with in the past.

Hi Rocio,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback — we appreciate it.
If your experience relates to a specific property or host, we’d be happy to look into it further. Houfy is a platform where guests and hosts connect directly, so experiences can vary depending on the listing booked. That said, we always want to ensure the platform itself is as helpful, smooth, and reliable as possible.
If there is anything we can improve on our side — whether it’s ease of use, support, or any feature you were expecting — please let us know. Your feedback helps us make Houfy better for everyone.

The process was quick and easy
The process was quick and easy. I always try to find direct bookings to save the owners and myself the third party fees. This was just that. Highly recommend.

Perfect location in a spacious place
it was the most perfect location. Walking distance to everything in La zona romántica and el malecón. The host and staff are very responsive. We could not locate beach towels and received a response within minutes. The place is spacious and has nice balcony to lookout to the square. Highly recommend this place.
