Cecilia isn't particularly interested in you if you don't speak spanish. The rooms are rustic and the probability you will have hot water in the morning for your shower is about 10%. The breakfast was quite good and the lady who prepared it was a jewel in an otherwise poor experience.

The main problem at Cecilia's place is Cecilia. We went from Argentina, so language was not a problem. A we stayed for a week, we could see over and over how tourists arriving there were ripped of systematically. Cecilia, the host, makes everything to save money of your staying. E.g., she removes the toilet paper at nights, and she stops... More

we booked it in airport, bad bad location, over priced. Ceicilia is not a nice host.... dirty room with broken shower head. stay away from her. We stay at the annex of hotel orongo the next day, it was nice. and cheaper than ceicilia place

We stayed at one of Cecilias newer pension/hostels so I can't comment on the other ones that are farther away from town. My husband and I planned to stay at the Camping Minihoa location because we brought our own tents and such. Upon arrival at the airport I spotted the Camping Minihoa desk and immediately went over to book. Cecilia... More

you MUST read this before booking your holiday with Cecilia - you HAVE been WARNED! the pickup at the airport with the standard flower necklace was fine. The location was outside central Hanga Roa which we didn't care about - but here's the thing. We booked our OWN bunagalow. When we got there, we were told we'd have to share... More

I just got back from a week in Rapa Nui (This is the real name of Easter Island). I did not book a hotel in adavance. I relied on the hotel owners to wait in the airport. Well, the plane from Santiago was 3 hours late, and we got to Rapa Nui in the middle of a stormy night. Only... More

I can only confirm what other guests commented on Chez Cecilia. In the end of my stay, I left with rather mixed feelings. I booked in davance at Senora Cecilias Residencial Place and was quite pleased about the standard and the hot shower. Breakfast is very basic. The second night she was asking me, if I could move to another... More

A bit hard to give a firm rating, as my experience was mixed, at best. I booked at the airport on the basis of photos shown to me by Sra. Cecilia. Transportation was provided, but when we arrived at the place where I was to be lodged, it was far from the image I had. While liveable, the room was... More

It was something we have never experienced (IN A VERY BAD sence of course)! We booked the hostel for 6 nights in advance via internet, and we got twice a confirmation from Mrs. Cecilia about booking, indicating that the price (it was 350 USD) included picking us up from the airport (standard Easter Island tradition as it had appeared later),...
