— Real and verified reviews
The Sella
The Sella
in their own words.
For years we relied on word of mouth in Asturias. We only recently started actively asking you to leave a review — that is why the volume is modest. But every one of the 147 reviews is real, public and verifiable on Google and TripAdvisor.
Two platforms
and one single average.
Total transparency: these are the numbers exactly as they show today on the public listings.
Three reviews
that sum up what we do.
Experience
Great service, attentive and very friendly staff. The experience was amazing, I absolutely loved it.See on Google
Couples
Everything punctual and very kind. A once-in-a-lifetime experience, recommended for young and old alike.See on TripAdvisor
Friends
Totally worth it. You get changing rooms and can shower after the activity. They give you fun instructions, a barrel to put lots of things inside, and the rest is what the river gives you.See on TripAdvisor

Where can I read all the reviews of the Sella River descent?
We have 147 real reviews split between Google (127 reviews · 4.5 stars) and TripAdvisor (20 reviews · 4.8 stars). On this page we highlight the most representative ones, but all of them are public on those platforms.
Are all the reviews real and verified?
Yes. We do not buy or fabricate reviews. Every single one comes from a customer who actually paddled the Sella with us and voluntarily left their review on Google or TripAdvisor. That means you will see a bit of everything: mostly 5 stars, a few 4s and, very occasionally, a critical review that we answer publicly.
How do I leave my review after the descent?
The easiest way: after the activity we send you a message with the direct Google link. You can also leave it on TripAdvisor by searching "Aventura en el Sella · Arriondas". It helps us enormously — it is what makes others trust us.
How do you respond to negative reviews?
Honestly and in public. We reply to every critical review from the Google Business panel, acknowledging what we did not get right and explaining what we have changed. It is the only way to improve and for future customers to see how we handle real problems.
Why is the Google average 4.5 and TripAdvisor 4.8?
Because they are platforms with different user profiles. Google gets more volume and a wider range of expectations; TripAdvisor tends to be used by the traveller who plans carefully and values service details more. The combined average is 4.5★ across 147 reviews — the number we use across the whole site.
How long have you been collecting reviews?
Aventura en el Sella has been gathering reviews for several years from customers across different seasons. That volume and consistency is what sets us apart from new operators with no track record — discover more about our story.
