10/10 Excellent
"We had a very good stay at the hotel, 3 guys on motorcycles, it is easy to find and Ribadeo is a short 15 minute walk to the centre of the town, though there are bars and restaurants 5 minutes away, there is also LIDL, and other major supermarkets 5 minutes away including McDonalds, you can have breakfast in the bar area or buffet style i10 Euro, in another room, Restaurant was closed for a refurb during our stay, Bar closes early around 10.30pm. Large free car park, great free WIFI, Swimming pool to the rear, set in a garden area and covered patio/beer garden, Some will think it is a little dated, but it was very clean, great size bedrooms, spotlessly clean and very good price. 5* from me and the guys."

10/10 Excellent
"We came to Ribadeo for the 2026 total solar eclipse. We stayed the entire week. Aurora and Israel are fantastic hosts. They answered all of our questions and served us wonderful coffee every morning. Advice for others going to A G Porcillan: 1. Parking. Do not try to park at the hotel when you arrive it will likely be busy. Go to Estacionamiento del Puerto de Ribadeo and park there, then walk to the hotel. It isn't far, there are usually spots open, and it will save you from having to turn around in narrow streets. DO NOT DRIVE THROUGH TOWN! Google Maps will suggest this, don't do it or you will get frustrated! 2. READ THE BOOKLET in your hotel room. It has all sorts of information you can't find on Google, like the nearest grocery store (GADIS, you can walk, they have wine and beer and fresh bread); restaurants that are open all day, sights to see, etc. I wish we had read the booklet before we ventured out on our own the first day. 3. Ask for the room with the BIG BALCONY. Such a relaxing place after a long walk or a drive around the coast. The stray cats on the rooftops were entertaining. And it was cooler out there (the hotel does not have A/C but they provided a standing electric fan). 4. Aurora will provide the paperwork and information to visit Praia as Catedrais. This is very important, that you GO 1 HOUR BEFORE LOW TIDE. If you go after low tide you might get kicked off the beach. Trust your hosts. Love to Aurora and Israel! --Sarah and Adam"

"The apartment was spacious and modern. The gate didn’t work at first but this was resolved over the phone very quickly. The apartment had a lift from the garage to access the flat and the laundry room. Back entrance direct to the beach was useful, although we favour the beach which was slightly out of town as it was a bit quieter than the main beach. I thought the flat was meant to have air conditioning, but it didn’t. Otherwise well equipped."
