My flight to Malaga was delayed by a few hours meaning I did not arrive until 2am - having called in advance to notify the hotel. I was really grateful that they were able to sort me out without any problems. I liked the hotel so much that I decided to extend my stay here rather than moving to one in Malaga and commuting instead.

Competa in September

We stayed in one of the chalets which was well fitted out inside with comfortable twin beds, 2 electric rings in the hob, a fridge and TV. The exterior decor of the chalets is a bit tired and would benefit from some new paint. The hotel staff were excellent and very friendly, the food was good including a good number of choices for the buffet style breakfast. The pool area was very nice with good sunbeds and a view of the coast in the far distance and the white houses on the mountain ridges in between Parking was off street and secured by an electronic gate. A good surrounding area for mountain walking with a lot of walkers evident. The village centre shops, Tapas bars and restaurant are a easy 5 minute walk away.

Quaint Old School Hotel

Stayed for two nights while finalising the sale of our property nearby. The staff were helpful and attentive, the room simple but with every effort made to feel welcome in it (three different assortments of toiletries!), and a fabulous view from the balcony. At the equivalent of GBP35.00 per night at the time of booking, it was great value. Breakfast was buffet-style, with hot and cold options - not a vast spread, but every box ticked. I don't think the hotel restaurant operates weeknights, but there are lots of alternatives nearby. Located a short walk from the main square and many of the restaurants, Hotel Balcon is well-situated for making the most of Competa. Access to the hotel and its car park is via narrow streets, and there's a very steep incline leading to the carpark... but if you're driving in this area that won't be anything new.

Bungalow stay

Lovely stay with a very welcoming family. My daughter and I stayed for a week in a bungalow. At first, I wasn't a fan of the bungalow- single bed, separate from the main hotel, not so lovely view- but it grew on me. Easy and reliable airport transfer arranged by the hotel at a cost of £75. Breakfast was typically continental with friendly wait staff, but we were split for voice of lovely restaurants to have dinner around Competa. Cons: 1. the pool was always packed with people who aren't that's at the hotel as the hotel allows anyone to enter and use it, at a charge. 2. 45 minute drive away from coast if that's what you're looking for 3. Lots of walking up hilly terrain and endless steps

Great hotel location

Hotel was central and elevated so lovely views over Competa and the valleys ahead then the sea. We had a superior room with balcony which didn't disappoint. Was near to all restaurants and bars but far enough away to be a quiet location. The breakfast was fine although the same every day - no variation on the items served. It was lovely to sit on the terrace with the amazing views.

Well positioned hotel with lovely terrace.

The hotel itself was spacious: sunny south facing terrace & pool area. Pool was almost empty in late September. Staff were very friendly & helpful. We were in the bungalows which were fine for a one night stay. They were a bit shabby, peeling paintwork and not much hot water. But we were rewarded by small, private deck area with great view down the valley, only slightly marred by a huge electricity pylon. Despite this, I would recommend this hotel, especially if staying in the hotel itself. As Competa is a small town with narrow streets, the hotel car oak was a bonus.

Lovely family owned hotel where you were immediately welcomed and looked after as though you were family too. Very good service, fresh food and reasonably priced bar with stunning views of the valley right to the sea. I recommend the bungalows which are quiet, well equipped and perfect for an independent style stay yet with all the hotel facilities. A3&A4 have good views of the valley.

A wonderful night.

Visiting Competa for a wedding. We had previously stayed in the hotel about 16 years ago. Found ourselves in a very cute little chalet with everything we could possibly need. It was absolutely charming and all the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, we were only there for one night as I would quite happily have stayed for longer. Definitely one to come back to.

Fine hotel, great location; bungalows - not sure..

We stayed at the Balcon for the first time a couple of days ago - we've been to the town many times. We chose to stay in the bungalows not the main hotel - a bit more space & maybe more privacy, but we'd probably not do so again. They've got nice panelling throughout inside, independent air conditioning & fine views from their individual little verandahs, but the bed options (1 sofa bed or 2 singles) aren't v appealing & the single beds were old, creaky, uncomfortable & too small for an adult man (I'm just under 6 feet). The hotel though is lovely, has fine views, good parking, a lovely pool & excellent terrace, the breakfast was good & there was lots of choice, and the staff were friendly and very helpful. (There's also a private tennis court though we didn't have the chance to use that - off early in the morning for a long walk.) We'd choose to stay in the main building next time!

Typically Spanish

We stayed for two nights in early June. We were already familiar with Competa which is very quaint with some nice restaurants and gift shops. There is a great wine festival there in August. This is the only hotel in Competa which is a shame. The booking in procedure and welcome we received was great. Parking is available behind the hotel but is kept locked so you will need to ask staff to unlock the gate by telephone at the time you arrive, the number is on a notice by the gate. It's not a problem if you know about it and are prepared for it. The room was adequate although the room was a bit dark. The bedding was creased but this was just the overthrow. The sheets were OK though. Beds were OK, but the pillows rather hard everyone's idea of a good pillow is different. The bathrooms were dated but clean, however each of the four bulbs above the mirror were all different and one was not working. It would have been nice to have some bedside lamps instead of the stark main lights, but this is normal in Spain. We had a room without a balcony.....just a window. I cannot recall if a balcony was charged as an extra, but as the hotel was far from full it would have been nice to have been given one. Breakfast was rather poor and quite basic with just a few scraps of tomatoes available, only banana yogurts to offer and a long wait for coffee. Bacon and eggs are available to order. The air conditioning worked perfectly and much appreciated. Rather expensive for what you get.

An enjoyable stay in Competa

Staff could not do enough to make our stay enjoyable. Would definitely recommend. We wanted to go to the more remote areas to sample the "Real Spain", practice a bit of Spanish etc., all were very understanding and would help with this or resort to English. Indeed many want the chance to practice their English also. The wine Festival was on that weekend and that added to our involvement in the local culture. The roads in and out are a bit tortuous - reminds us of the old Spain before the EU! Fantastic people at this Hotel, very homely.

Broken tiles on patio area and water didn't look that clean, but probably caused by grass area around pool. 5 out of 10 ROOMS- Though a little dated they were clean, en suites need re tiling. 6 out of 10 STAFF- No complaints here, really friendly. 10 out of 10 LOCATION- A few minutes walk to the main square, 2 handy stores across the road. 8 out of 10 OVERALL- Enjoyed my 5 days in Competa and would be happy to come again, prices in restaurants were reasonable and food good quality.

It was our second stay at Balcon de Competa and it certainly won't be our last. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The staff are so welcoming and most helpful. The room was clean, comfortable and relaxing. The breakfast has improved from last time,now offering freshly cooked breakfast. Dave on reception speaks perfect english and was hugely helpful to us translating for us when our rented car caused problems. From breakfast to sitting by the pool, to relaxing on terrace, or returning from the many surrounding fabulous restaurants to enjoy a drink on the terrace in the evening, the hotel offers all. But above all, it's friendliness and location are second to none

Lovely place to stay with friendly, efficient staff, reasonable breakfast and free parking. Wasn't warm enough to try the pool, but it looked inviting. The restaurant was great - best meal of the holiday! The hotel is old fashioned, family run and has a great atmosphere. It's not modern, but represents good value for money. The only thing that really needs changing is the bed frame in our room, which made a noise everytime you moved.

Spectacular views and friendly atmosphere

The hair raising drive up the mountain road to this lovely village is worth it! The hotel is comfortable and the management are staff are friendly, welcoming and efficient. The accommodation in the hotel is not modern and the facilities are reflective of what you might expect in a 3 star hotel but I think that you will find everything you need and everything works (although the free wifi reception can be a bit erratic). The swimming pool area is pleasant and there are plenty of sunbeds. The food in the restaurant is excellent and it is wonderful to be have your meals on the terrace overlooking the mountain scenery down to the coast (I am told that on some days you can even see the north African coast!). The hotel has a car park, which is a must in Competa. However, there are lot of steps from the car park to the main building. Competa, being a mountain village, has many steep sloping streets. Therefore, access for wheel chair users and those with limited mobility would be something to consider. We had a very enjoyable holiday here.

Can't wait to go back!

The family that runs this hotel does an excellent job of making you feel warm and welcomed. The hotel is spotless, breakfast is great, the pool is wonderful and the pool restaurant & bar leaves nothing to be desired... great food!

The perfect location. A peaceful village.

Beautiful hotel, in a mountain village. Splendid food and fine, local wines. Breakfast and dinner overlooking the mountains, with a view of the distant sea.

brilliant staff

Great hotel in a fantastic location, but what makes it really special is the staff. They are really helpful and friendly and go out of their way to help you make the most of your stay. It's very good value for money, this is the second time i've stayed here, i hope to go back soon. The rooms were very clean and comfortable and the pool area was great. There is a lovely balcony with great views, perfect for that early evening drink.

A good base for walking or looking at the view!

A pleasant rural hotel in Competa. The Weather was very stormy and misty on two days so it was important to have a lounge. The lounge was a bit uninviting with a lot of upright chairs placed around, as though there was going to be a seminar any minute! The bar and cafeteria were fine, the only problem being that we didn't know when the restaurant was open or closed, obviously depending on whether they had groups staying or not. It was fine eating in the bar, but we were not told when the restaurant was closed. The staff were lovely and the outside terrace and swimming pool were wonderful. A sports centre has been built below which, unfortunately, does impinge on the otherwise glorious view. Generally a good verdict, but more attention is needed to the interior of the hotel: bathrooms and lounge! G Gener

Pleasant stay.

Bathrooms getting dated now but still a good hotel. The view is marred by the council yard beneath but looking beyond is beautiful. Access to the hillside walks is fairly easy and you can walk for hours. Food on the meal plan is basic but good but restaurant is not open out of season very often. You end up therefore in the bar areas or terrace with a wooly jumper and eat as fast as you can whilst it stays warm. Pepe the owner is very friendly and will do is best to accommodate any special requests. Reasonable prices. Booking on Expedia I found I was the best deal there.

Located in the centre of Competa. Typical spanish village with narrow streets,bit of a nightmare in a car. The receptionist was very helpful in locating a secure car park. We chose to dine out in the village in the evening. The buffet style breakfast was ok, nothing special but plenty of variety. I would re-visit.

A great informal relaxed & family friendly Hotel

Excellent - does exactly what it says on the tin! Perfect central location so walkable right into the heart of the village plaza. Fantastic views from the terraces and restaurant. Great food. Nothing is too much trouble. Efficient, but in a relaxed holiday mode approach. Brilliant staff. Really friendly & very helpful. It's not the Ritz, but then at the prices charged, it's great value for money. Thoroughly recommended.

Great 5 day stay

We were visiting my grandson who is living nearby. We stayed 5 days with the full board option. It's a small hotel, about 30 bedrooms, and because of it you get a more personal service than in a large hotel. The staff are very friendly and helpful. We had the room that the King and Queen of Spain had stayed in some years ago. Despite the provenance, it was a fairly standard hotel room, but everything worked and was very clean, with a particularly good strong shower. The room had a small balcony containing two chairs and a table, and there was a really good view down the valley. There's a bar/cafe and restaurant (which was closed in winter). The full board menu (and the set menu) is restricted to three choices on each course, but they were all good and changed each day. We enjoyed eating there. On our last day, the chef prepared a paella especially for us and it was superb. Breakfast is standard continental, fresh rolls and ham/cheese. There are other options - we saw someone with a full English - but we were happy with the buffet. The village is very pretty and well cared for, and it all seems much more relaxed than the coastal resorts. We would like to return. There is a swimming pool (being cleaned out for the summer while we visited) and a nice shady garden.

Would definitely recommend.

The room was spacious, clean and comfortable and the views from our balcony window were fantastic. All the staff were really friendly and helpful - especially the waitress who served us for our evening meal and who was there again in the morning for breakfast. The evening meals were really good, with a reasonable choice of menu and excellent food. We would definitely stay at this hotel again.

A Gem

A fantastic stay in a small and beautiful genuine andulasian town. Lovely old buildings with cobbled streets. The hotel was top class. Amazing value, good food, cheap drinks, good service, lovely views, relaxing environment and very friendly atmosphere. We went at the end of January. The weather was sunny but cold at night but the rooms were well heated. We went full board - the food was simple but hearty and included a three course hot menu for both lunch and dinner (with cold options available too). The fish soup was particularly tasty. It was great to be able to sit out on the terrace for meals and enjoy the mountain views. The service was great too - very personal and staff really went that extra mile. Thoroughly recommend it - we'll be back!

A Good Choice of Hotel.

All the staff were very pleasant and helpful. The hotel was quite in January and we were able to have a balcony room with the wonderful view across the valley towards the sea. Food was the best I had had in Spain, plenty of choice and cooked to a good standard. I would be happy to recommend this hotel.

It would be great to have tea and coffee making facilities in the room and an iron and ironing board would be helpful.

A lovely relaxing stay.

This is the second time I have stayed at the Balcon. I really recommend booking a balcony room, the view of the mountains and coast are stunning. The garden/pool area is pretty and relaxing, and the staff are helpful and informative. The atmosphere at the hotel is lovely and laid back, and visitors to the cafe are a mixture of guests and locals. It is only a very short walk to other cafes and bars in the village. I definitely recommend this hotel for a relaxing mountain break!

Great Hotel

All the staff were excellent from the cleaning ladies to the reception staff. Its the first time we actually got a kettle and two cups in our room when asking during booking process. This added attention to our personnel needs help make the stay more pleasurable. We had a double room on the rear with views down to the coast- there are some rooms facing the road but I would pay the extra like we did for a balcony room. The room was large with a double bed and single bed. The hotel was clean and very comfortable. The breakfast is a basic continental breakfast with the usual bread , ham cheese, meats, cereal etc. A cooked breakfast is available at an additional charge but this is never offered so I guess you need to ask. We did eat at the hotel once for the Saturday BB-Q and again one afternoon. Both meals were good. I would recommend this hotel to friends and family. As Competa is a small village in the mountains you will need a car to get there. If you do hire a car contact the hotel first for the best approach as the Sat Nav took us to the main square which only has a pedestrian route to the hotel. The swimming pool is nice and clean but is not for serious swimmers. You can still swim in the deep section for a short while. The hotel is also open to locals. We stayed in early July and it did not seem too busy.

Ihana loma Andalucian Competassa

Hotellissa oli erittäin ystävällinen palvelu ja mukava henkilökunta. Kaikki asiat sujuivat pienistä kieliongelmista huolimatta hyvin. Google-kääntäjä on hyvä apu. Huoneesta oli suorastaan upea näköala. Kaiken kaikkiaan vietimme ihanat kaksi viikkoa hyvässä hotellissa ja hienossa ympäristössä.

Slitet och ocharmigt

Ett slitet hotell med vänlig och trevlig personal. Känns som man har hamnat på 1960-talet. Tafflig frukost, mycket kallt på rummet om man inte ha AC på hela tiden, men den låter som en mindre flygplan. Täcket tog dock priset, en tunn filt med lakan…

Volveremos! Gracias por tudo!

Dank des stets freundlichen und hilfsbereiten Personals und Chefs und seinen "Familien" fühlte man sich wie Besuch bei Freunden. Sehr variantenreiches und leckeres Frühstücksbüffett, Frisch zubereitete warme Getränke! Die Zimmer haben fast alle einen Balkon bzw. Terrasse mit hervorragenden Ausblick auf das Meer und das Örtchen, Sehr schönes und gemütliches Hotel mit wundervollem Pool und Terrasse. Tennisplatz ist ebenfalls kostenlos für die Gäste. Kostenlose abgesicherte Parkplätze. Es ist sehr gemütlich, schon etwas älter aber das Preis/ Leistungsverhältnis ist absolut in Ordnung. Die Zimmer sind gut eingerichtet und sehr sauber. Es war ein herrlicher Aufenthalt. Volveremos con mucho gusto! Gracias! Kleiner Kritikpunkt, Die Badezimmer könnten eine kleine Renovierung gebrauchen!
