Reviews Summary

However, some reviews mention issues with specific properties regarding value for money and river views, suggesting thorough research is beneficial.
"Arroyo Espera 916... "Ana's Little Houses" - a very nice place. If you're looking for peace and quiet, don't hesitate. This is the place. 1 hour and 20 minutes from the river station. Highly recommended."

"The cabin is horrible, you couldn't even see the river.
It's like renting on any old land.
It's called "La Soñada del Tano" (The Dream of Tano).
A disaster.
They're going overboard with the price.
It's not worth it.
There are actually many better cabins for the same price, even cheaper ones.
Everything is wrong there.
One star is too much."
