We absolutly loved our stay. The host was extremely warm, friendly and helpful. We left the property with new lifetime friends that we will look forward to visiting many times again in the future.

Great experience near to beach
The room was exactly as described, with an excellent air conditioner. It was clean and well-maintained. The check-in process was smooth, and the hotel's location was perfect – close to the beach, making it convenient for us to enjoy the sun and sand. Overall, a great experience that exceeded our expectations.
Katarina, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Karelia is a lovely host, she let me use the room for extra hours for a small charge. There is a nice garden patio to sit in. This is a great budget option in an expensive area. There is no breakfast and it is a 5-10 min walk to the nearest shops.

10/10 Exceptional

Great room, great hosts
Lovely hosts, helpful and accommodating even with the language barrier. Very clean and excellent shower. Pleasant courtyard and ideal location. Comms were sketchy but I'm going to put that down to everything in Cuba being a little unreliable!
Marion, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

She is a great host. House is so clean. She helped us with everything. Just to make your life easy in Varadero exchange money in Havana not in Varadero and book bus tickets.

Lovely and Comfortable Stay
Lovely stay with Karelia and Victor. They know very little English, but we're warm and helpful and we did fine with our limited Español. There are no breakfasts offered now because Karelia told me sadly she could not obtain eggs or bread regularly because of food shortages. Very comfortable, a shirt 2 blocks to the beach. There was a bright street light right over our car parked out front so felt very safe, and there was plenty of available parking. I would stay there again in a heartbeat if I was going back to Varadero.
Dee, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very clean, great location, nice hosts. The hosts, Karolia and Victor are very nice, accommodating, always cleaning and keeping the property in excellent condition. The house is separated into two, with one half for the hosts and other renters, so not as private as I had anticipated. Also, not a lot of sound barrier between the two sides. The outside area is also shared by all tenants. However, overall it was a great rental, and I would stay here again. :)

Perfect location, but bring your own pillows
No Wi-Fi, contrary to the advertisement in hotels.com. There is a Wi-Fi connection, but you need an internet card to gain access. And even the Wi-Fi connection, you have to ask for it. It was not pro offered. The pillows were extremely thin and uncomfortable. The second bad, the equivalent of a cot, had a sagging mattress. It provided a terrible sleep. The breakfast is $5 American per person and includes coffee, eggs, with or without ham and cheese, and toast. The back patio area allows for outdoor seating. There is a place outside to wash your feet so you don't bring sand inside. That was deeply appreciated. The staff on site are the owners of the home, and they are very friendly. The location of the home is absolutely perfect. I repeat perfect. It's a mere three blocks to the beach and restaurants are two blocks away.

Une très bonne casa particular à Varadero
Nous avons séjourné 3 nuits à la casa Karelia à Varadero que nous recommandons. En effet, la casa est bien située dans la ville ,le cadre est agréable , proche de la plage et de la rue principale et la chambre est très confortable et très propre, ainsi que la salle de bain , le petit déjeuné est très correct . En plus le lit est refait tous les jours, possibilité de faire sécher son linge en terrasse . Et les propriétaires sont d'une gentillesse sans égal , toujours aimables et souriants, toujours prêts à nous aider et à nous donner des bonnes adresses de restos, ou de bars. Nous les remercions chaleureusement pour ce séjour passé chez eux . Un sans faute et une très bonne casa particular à Varadero .Très bonne adresse . Dominique et Bernard de France
Extérieur très agréable

Perfeita para quem nao quer resort
A Casa da Karelia é extremamente bonita e aconchegante. Tudo muito limpo e com uma localização excelente! Fizemos tudo a pé, inclusive a vinda e ida do terminal de ônibus, são 7 quarteirões. Ao final da rua já se encontra a praia super azul com tendas de palha gratuitas. Nas redondezas recomendamos comer no Rigo's Pizza (rua 50), Café Cubita (entre rua 25-30), Sabor Cubano (entre 40-41), no Pan.com vende-se um Hambúrguer bom e barato, fica dentro do complexo Clube Ócio na rua 44. Neste mesmo complexo há uma cafeteira estilo Starbucks chamada Caffecino. Nela os preços são mais salgados porém tudo com ótima qualidade. Fizemos tudo a pé pq não ligamos de andar, mas caso seja um problema para vc a todo momento passam Coco táxis, charretes e táxis de carros antigos logo na Avenida da pousada também. Karelia é muito atenciosa e também nos deu dicas ótimas sobre onde comer. Por um problema de distribuição do pais, acabamos ficando sem energia eletrica por 24hs, porem Karelia e seu marido gentilmente nos foneceram uma lanterna/luminaria para passamos a noite alem de tb recomendarem onde poderiamos comprar comida ja que a maioria dos lugares acabaram fechando. No geral, adoramos! Se vc busca um lugar confortável, limpo e com boa localização, fique na casa da Karelia. Caso queira luxo, busque um dos resorts.
