We arrived late after hiking all the way from San Sebastián along the GR131. This hotel is right along the trail and was such a sight to behold after a long day. The staff were so friendly and welcoming and the meal we had with choices that represented the local foods of La Gomera was filling, well priced and excellent. The room was spacious and clean and the showers had excellent water pressure. But it was the staff who really made our stay. They were just so friendly. They helped us check the bus from Vallehermoso and even helped us wrap up our breakfast to go as we wanted to start off early the next morning. Best stop for those on the GR131!

Our stay at Hotel Sonia was everything that could be expected and more at a rustic family hotel in La Gomera. The team were very efficient and friendly and the hotel made an excellent base for hiking and exploring in the area. Our thanks to Sonia and her brother who were great hosts. We highly recommend the meatball and Gofio mouse desert dishes from the restaurant menu. Both dishes were family recipes and both were excellent tasting and great value.

A family hotel run by an admirable lady, Sonia! She is the soul of the whole place and makes you feel very comfortable. The hotel has a nice bar and restaurant where you can eat tasty comfort food. The room was very clean with a nice balcony from where we could enjoy the sunset. Chipude can be a great base for hiking; next time we will stay longer!

We stayed only one night, but at a busy time, and our room was modest, ground floor front. We had a good welcome, and the meals were very good (breakfast excellent), and good value. One of the only places to stay in the highest part of the island, and well located for exploring there, e.g. climbing La Fortaleza and hiking in Garajonay. We had an unexpected bonus, being there on the day and night of the festival of the Candelaria, 2 February (which was noisy, but fun and did not run late).

Unfortunately there was a power cut at 10pm, and it became cold and dark! Presumably this does not happen every night.

everything! such a luxurious room with very comfy bed with great furnishings. super spacious room with a great shower. great views from the terrazza. attached restaurant had probably the best mojo we had in the islas canarias and the breakfast was WOW. fresh OJ great vegan cortado, so much food with the option to pack the rest for lunch!

nothing. loved it all.

Smiles wherever you look and a warm welcome. Room was big and super clean, preheated from an electrical oven. Dinner and breakfast was exceptional If you look for a quiet place, thats the place to be. Beautiful small to long hikes just in front of the door. Will be back!

nothing, it was all perfect

Great value for money. Very friendly staff. Our stay included the one day off for the owner (Sonia) but she ensured that we could still have dinner in the restaurant. And she gave us a packed breakfast for the day we left because we had an early checkout: again very thoughtful.

The hotel WiFi was temporarily down ( not Sonia’s fault!)

This is a family run place and it was perfect. Sonia and her family have a welcoming and confortable hotel, bar and restaurant. The check in was friendly and easy. The food for dinner was delicious. The food was the best Canarian home food we have had. Wine is also served that is made in Chipude. A great stay above the clouds. The is a great walk to do locally taking you on a circuit for around 13km. Easy to access by bus.

Perfect.

Exceptional customer service and a comfortable practical hotel. I arrived early evening and was shown my room immediately. Then, when I came out to dinner, a table had been reserved for me, and the lady who seemed to be managing the bar and the restaurant was very attentive and called me by name. I am pleased to be returning for the night tomorrow. Amazing breakfast too!

Great place close to the mountains with very personal friendly contact with the family running the hotel/restaurant/bar. Great food, always more than enough, a pleasure to stay here.

Something to keep in mind is the humidity close to the mountains and on this altitude in winter... so rooms felt chilly... be prepared and bring warm clothes. Nothing to blame the hotel with, just a fact. They provide hot water and electric heater.
