Amazing staff that went above and beyond. The location is 15-20 minute walk from town and the beach, however I loved that as it was quiet and surrounded by nature. The outside space/garden at the hostel was a great vibe - hammocks, art work, fire pit, monkeys, etc. Very chill. Kitchen was also well equipped, and there was a mini grocery store less than a minute walk away.

A lovely hostel full of charm. The rooms and the kitchen are very clean and well-maintained – even during the ongoing renovations, which the owner is carrying out with great care. The owner and the entire team are incredibly friendly and always happy to help. What stands out most is the relaxed and welcoming atmosphere – thanks to the great people and the adorable dogs, you feel right at home.

I personally liked the location. It is on a very quiet street, and it’s such a small town it really doesn’t matter where you sleep, everything is a 5 min walk away maximum. Perfect budget friendly option. Super nice staff! Kitchen does the trick, and surprisingly the beds in the dorms I found really comfortable, which is always a plus. Nice personal fan too.

All hostels in Sámara

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.
