Jesús was a legend. Such a nice, friendly and genuine person. Honestly, it's a shame he wasn't around more (because as the owner, he's busy with many things) because every time he was around the whole place lit up. Great atmosphere and super good place to get to know people. 12/10

I stayed for 10 days and it was an absolute joy. The owner and his family are very friendly and kind, they constantly keep looking after the place and they are always ready to help and give advice. There is a free taxi to different beaches every day from the hostel and small convenient store on the first floor, good community area and a balcony to chill. It's very close to the town center, but in a calm area.

One of the best hostels i’ve ever stayed in private modern sections bunks with curtains. The place felt like a private room! They offer coffee and snacks at their restaurant in the morning! Reception was so caring and thorough with the check in process. Bathroom was super clean and water pressure was great and hot.

I had a nice and cofortable stay! The room and hostel were impeccably clean, and the staff was polite, friendly, and helpful. Although I didn't get a chance to join the daily activities, they looked enjoyable. The location couldn't be better, right in the heart of everything and just 20 meters from the beach!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Beds were comfy, the common area/restaurant is a great opportunity to meet people. The staff is international and very social and accommodating. The owner hosts weekly events like movie nights or bbq, even though it’s a social hostel it wasn’t loud at night. When i first arrived i was handed a towel and allowed to shower, even though I arrived way before my check-in. Daily cleaning of the dorms. Perfect hostel for backpackers or anyone who wants to meet new people!

    The owners as so lovely and so helpful. Beds were comfortable and clean and private. Facilities were great. Free tea and coffee and a fridge. Lovely little balcony area and in a great location, close to everything. Everything about this hostel is perfect. Safe and secure too with key fobs to enter the room.

    Best Hostel, a bit far from the Main City but you need a scooter anyway so it’s totally fine. Close to really nice beaches, Tanote Beach was my fav. The staff is fantastic and you can have fun nights playing Deisha-Thai-Pool, getting professional bamboo tattoos and have good&cheap cocktails or some weed (or both :D)!! The View is epic, you can see the whole Island and shouldn’t miss it. It’s often booked out (book early!) so there are always many people. Will definitely come back some day!
