Balcon de Competa

Came here for a coffee and breakfast, food was reasonable and had a good laugh with the staff trying to order something not on the menu as the language barrier was in forced (not a problem as I’m in Spain and can’t speak Spainsh!) but eventually we got there and they were happy to cater for us. Edging on the pricer side but expected for a hotel restaurant. You can pay to use the pool but unfortunately it’s out of season in May and June time.

Very disappointing experience at Hotel y Bungalows Balcón de Cómpeta. We arrived with a confirmed reservation through Booking.com, but when we got there there was nobody at the property to check us in. No staff, no instructions, and no way to access the room. We were left waiting outside with three children, trying to contact someone for help, but nobody responded. After traveling with kids, this was extremely stressful and unacceptable. Because the property never responded, Booking.com later closed the case and we were left without a refund and without accommodation that night. A hotel that accepts reservations should at the very least ensure someone is available for check-in or provide clear instructions. Unfortunately, that was not the case here.

What a wonderfull place. Forget any bad reviews about the pool. We stayed 5 nights and noticed it being tested daily. Just a fabulous holiday and thanks to everyone . We used to go to Competa 30 + years ago and remember Franquelos bar in town. He set up this hotel . Hope they can keep the tradition going
