    Had a very positive experience. Comfortable room, nice firm mattress, everything clean and operational. Five-minute walk to the beach. Gerardo, who speaks English, was very helpful in all respects and went out of his way to reserve a taxi collectivo to Havana for me. He also brews a wonderful carafe of coffee in the morning.

    I loved everything about Geraldo’s “balcon” homestay, but I would have liked being a little closer to “the centre” of Varadero. . . though it’s true there isn’t really a centre to this town, just an area where there are a few more restaurants and bars. Having said that, beach access and a few cafes and restaurants are very near. The room is lovely and clean; French doors open out to a large and comfortable balcony with chairs and a table. It’s very quiet, too, so you will sleep well here! Every morning I stayed (3 days), Geraldo served me a thermos of delicious hot coffee on the balcony. Great way to start the day. He did laundry for me, and arranged a taxi to the airport (at a very good price). I felt very well looked after and recommend this homestay.

    Gerardo is a very friendly host, served the best coffee in Varadero, room is small but clean and includes everything you need. Gerardo also helped us to find a taxi to bring us to Santa Clara. We always would choose this casa again.

How do I book?

Contact the host about your stay - tell them a little about yourself, why you are staying and ask any questions you have about their homestay. You will be able to book immediately after sending your message.

You then pay your host on arrival or as stated by your host on their profile and agreed by you on booking. Please be cautious if a host requests advance payment if its not included on their profile. Our hosts have been advised that if they wish to request advance payment they must make this explicit in their profile. We do not recommend the use of Money gram or Western Union.

When can I share my contact details?

Host and Guest email address, phone number and home address will be exchanged in a confirmation email sent to both immediately after a booking is completed. It's against our policy for Guests and Hosts to exchange direct contact details via our messaging system.
