We enjoyed a really fabulous week here. The half board option is recommended as the choice of menus both at breakfast and evening mealtime is extensive, multinational and of a high quality. Furthermore, there are a limited number of restaurants in nearby San Sebastián and travel across the island, which has challenging topography, does require transport to access restaurants further afield.
Wonderful hotel with amazing swimming pools. Many bars. Interesting architecture

It felt more like five than four stars. One of the best hotels we’ve experienced. Fantastic food, beautiful surroundings and friendly professional staff. Beautiful spa, and nice gym albeit a bit small. We will be back soon.. and for mote than five days next time. Thanks
Amazing property! Unique layout, beautiful architecture/decor. Still feels brand new. Great views. Quiet.

Gorgeous hotel, very large hotel but still feels quiet. Very good service and pools are awesome. Everything is very clean and spacious. Recommended. I do hope it stays the only hotel of this kind on La Gomera though, to keep the charm and authenticity of La Gomera alive.
Amazing stay at Bancal! The hotel is huge, green, sustainable, the view of the Teide incredible and the service excellent (thanks to Charlie!). We ate at the buffet and the food was really good and the staff kind and professional. Overall, the quality/price is unbeatable and we really had a lovely stay.
Great hotel in a good location. We had a Junior Suite and loved waking up to the view across to Mount Tiede on Tenerife. It was a very good base to explore the island which we fell in love with. A great holiday.
Where ti start… Fantastic place with great pools, service, elegant and very quiet… even its big, you almost don’t see other guests…. Always available beds at pool, very quiet…
View to ocean and Teide…
Its 4 starts and i dint understand how it’s not 5 stars…
Can’t wait to return..
Very nice, comfortable new hotel. Good breakfast. Location is not so good. Service is ok for a 4 star hotel (even the hotel could have been 5 star, it is not).

The hotel is wonderful
The infinity and swimming pools are great.
We did the tasting menu and flight of wines as it was my wife’s birthday all dishes were superb, there was a lovely cake left for my wife’s birthday on our arrival, the gardens are wonderfully designed and the view of mount teide amazing..
The key standout of this hotel were the staff, every single one of them were amazing. They all went that extra step to make our stay 5 stars..The customer care was top notch so I would like to thank all the staff for making my wife’s birthday stay and mine a unique and memorable occasion..
Thank you Hotel Bancal

It’s a brand new property. Excellent staff. Ambiance is great. Should be a 5 Star property.
Great getaway. We spent a long weekend here. And I must say this was one of the best hotels I have ever stayed at. The pools were gorgeous bad the rooms really clean and newly refurbished. I love the brutalist architecture and it was the best food on the island period.
This is a beautifully presented and brand new hotel. The property is largely single story but traverses the hillside in at least 5 terraces. This means that multiple lifts need to be taken to reach lower levels of the hotel, and that part of your journey there will be in the open air. For this reason, I’d recommend asking for a room on a higher level. The entertainment was great. Food was okay. The hotel is located a fair way out of San Sebastián and the hotel shuttle, which operates twice a day in each direction is not free. There is no on-site shop selling essentials, and the reverse-osmosis filtered water fountain is only available to guests at breakfast. For this reason I’d strongly recommend hiring a car for the duration of your stay.
Awesome facilities. You have to drive if you want to go to town as they don’t yet offer shuttle services ( they are working on it), but still pretty easy to get a taxi or drive your own rental car.
Modern hotel with a good range of facilities and offering beautiful views of Tenerife and Mt Teide. Well appointed rooms, although slightly disappointed by the lack of an iron and having to pay for ironing as part of the laundry service. I really like how committed to sustainability the hotel is - very impressive. The one area that could be improved is the food quality and service in the main buffet restaurant. There was a reasonable choice but the food was often lukewarm, dried up, or stodgy, so not the most enjoyable.
This is an excellent hotel in every day. however it's let down by one major thing which is obvious from previous reviews. The distance from civilisation lets it down and has not been addressed by management. There is a specific timed shuttle bus which has to be paid for at the same cost as a local taxi. The remote location could easily be mitigated if there was a courtesy shuttle bus that ran regularly or on demand. There is a man on the security gate operating the barrier which seems little relevant value far better to employ dedicated shuttle bus drivers for free and there would probably no more negative reviews as it's a fabulous hotel and the food is excellent as are the staff, cleanliness and facilities
