We loved it and hope to return! What a fantastic location and we were hugely impressed with Catherine and Susanna's hosting skills. There was as much advice as we wanted about where to go and what to see without feeling like we had to go anywhere and the welcome party was an inspiration - with generous catering to introduce the...

Went there for the New Year's Solo week with a plan to just relax, meditate and spend my days reading and walking around the beautiful nature. I came home without reading a single page because I was too busy having a great time with some amazing women :). At the resort you get the quiet surrounding which is ideal if... More

This is a fabulous place, i travelled alone and the owners could not have been more welcoming and kind, the accommodation was comfortable and homely, lovely touches music/books/games available, 3 very friendly cats were an extra special treat. I plan to go back, a great place alone, the layout and setting makes it easy to make new friends, a car... More

We spent 11 days at Bambú and were very happy with our choice. The place is quiet, the other guests were friendly, on there own and at the same time open to make contact. The owner gave us a welcome feeling at our arrival. The room was perfect for us. Well equiped kitchen, everything was clean. We liked a lot... More

Ok it would be fair to say that without a car Bambu could be a trek from the nearest Town, that said Catherine and Susanne offer trekking holidays :) as well as many other options for your stay at Bambu. The Location is stunning the views amazing and we were delighted that we had the place to ourselves for the... More

We only stayed two nights at Bambu after a business trip, however it felt like a week of pure relaxation. We loved the remoteness of the place, georgeous views, comfy room, superfriendly hosts, lovely other guests. We'll certainly be back for a real holiday.

We spent a week there following our wedding in May and I have to say that we had a fantastic time. We had both been reluctant to go to mainland Spain for various reasons, mainly pre-concieved ideas about the tourist industry. Bambu is not a five star hotel, but it is a clean and presentable little complex of apartments built... More

Having been to Bambu and read the reviews we feel it is only fair to give a balanced perspective and prepare discerning travellers for the reality of the experience that is 'Bambu'. We wanted to support a lesbian-run business and enjoy unspoilt locations however we will not be booking again nor making recommendations since we felt that overall considering location,... More

Well, what can we say in response? Trip Advisor readers will see the other reviews and appreciate that what appeals to many, clearly doesn’t appeal to everyone. We don’t claim Bambú to be anything other than in a rural location and a 20 minute walk to our nearest very authentic Andalucian village – we are not in the middle of... More
