Après notre réservation et le paiement sur la plateforme Homestay, l'hôte nous a écrit pour nous informer de l'indisponibilité de la chambre. On nous a alors offert de nous trouver une chambre dans une autre casa au même coût.
Host reply
Lamentablemente la disponibilidad de Internet en Cuba es muy mala y los calendarios tuvieron dificultad al sincronizar, pues somos cuidadosos y responsables con las actualizaciones. Usted tuvo la posibilidad de cancelar su reserva y optó por que nosotros le garantizáramos otra habitación. Tal como hicimos. Nuevamente le ofrecemos disculpas por las molestias causadas.

Risber was a friendly and helpful woman. Not very interested, but still kind and friendly.
Did a great job with our Laundry (cheap service).
Nice room, nice bed and good shower. Nice bar at 30 seconds walk (across the street).
Communication in English possible, as non-spanish speakers, it was nice.
Breakfast wasn't great (we absolutely had better ones in Cuba).August 2019
Je garde un bon souvenir de mon passage à Playa Giron. Puisque je voyageais à vélo, c’était l’endroit parfait pour me détendre, pour me reposer. J’ai été merveilleusement bien accueillie par l’hôte et la femme qui travaille à la casa. Elles ont été à l’écoute de mes besoins. L’habitation est spacieuse et propre. La nourriture généreuse et délicieuse. Il faut absolument goûter le crabe, la spécialité de la place. Je recommande fortement cet endroit pour votre séjour à Playa Giron. Vous apprécirez aussi prendre un moment pour vous bercer sur le patio à regarder la rue animée par le peuple.

Risber and his family are absolutely great people! My boyfriend and I stayed in one of the old rooms, but the family has also build two other more modern rooms at the back of the house. The room is very plain with the bathroom, but clean. The fan and air conditioning work fine.
I absolutely recommend their breakfast and dinner: very delicious! the best dinner we had in all Cuba during our stay!Also the area is perfect: right across there is a restaurant and at a 10 min walk there is the museum , the main hotel and beach, and the bus stop. Also the house is located around the corner of the Transtur bus which takes you to Caleta Buena: a snorkeling paradise where you an spend the whole day, all included, for 15 Cuc/person.
Thank-you for everything
