Neat location in the old city, walking distance to many great restaurants, bars and ferry terminal for day trip to Tangier Morocco. The staff provided excellent service and offered good recommendations for food and drink nearby. The rooms are fun, separate apartments with a common garden fourier. Funky style that's fun, definitely not ordinary and was a lot of fun. More

Last summer we travelled to Tarifa to swim the Strait of Gibraltar. We fell in love with Koala Tarifa and its wonderful owners, Bjorn and Marta. Not only were the rooms beautiful and modern, but the hospitality we were shown by all of the staff was just amazing. Any little question we had about the area or the weather or... More

I wrote a review last year praising Hotel Koala and was so inspired by Tarifa and Andalucia that I ventured there again this year. Given my experience at Hotel Koala last year, it was the place I hoped to stay again. Luckily they had accommodations for us, albeit we agreed to move around from the spacious Lakoa apartment where we... More

I have just returned from a tour round Andalucia, which incorporated a 3 night stop in Tarifa. On the strength of previous reviews I booked my wife and I into the Koala. I can honestly say that the place is faultless. The owners Marta and Bjorn, provide a high level of service, information,guidance advice etc The rest of the staff... More

The entrance area has a modern design, so has the room itself. It's not the high-end, but far from old stincky hotels. In the so-called hotel... More

Koala Was the perfect choice for my two friends and myself. We wanted to spend a few days in the heart of Old Tarifa and Koala got 5 stars in every category - the beautifully designed and immaculate accommodation, the quiet location tucked away in the heart of the old town, the proximity to endless fantastic eateries, the generous and...

We stayed at Hotel Koala for 5 nights and really enjoyed our visit. Our apartment was a delight: stylish, comfortable and cleaned everyday. Fresh bread is delivered outside your door every morning and a well stocked fridge ensures you have a good breakfast. It was a pleasure to meet Marta and Bjorn, they made sure we had everything we needed... More

We came here for 3 nights after a week in the mountains and received probably the warmest welcome we've received in any hotel anywhere. Marta, Bjorn and Sumeya were incredibly helpful, providing advice on restaurants, where to park for free, where to go etc. Also if you ever needed anything, they saw it as their job to help. Our apartment... More
