The hostel was in a fab location, loved all the effort put in to try and make your stay comfortable, loved the decora and art very cool. Great breakfast choice of nica breakfast or one with fruits. Staff were very helpful especially the girl at breakfast. Would recommend staying here. But would maybe opt for a dorm instead of a room.

We stayed in de dormroom, they are double beds. We were with two friends and shared a bed, it's a little bit tight but still comfy. The deck with pool is amazing and it's only a 10 minute walk to the beach. Loved the vibe and the staff. On top off that the breakfast was amazing! Actually the food in general is very good, especially if you take the size of the kitchen into account. They were also very accommodating when we wanted to drop off our surfboards a couple days before our stay

Perfect place to stay if you are looking for a cozy hostel with friendly staff and a relaxed vibe. Perfect location in relation to the Spanish school to improve your Spanish, not to mention you have several top surf spots within walking distance! There is a large living room with a bar where you can get drinks. Everyone usually sits here chatting, drinking, watching a movie, playing ping pong or a game of pool. Almost every evening there is something to do in or around the hostel such as Burger night, Taco night and Trivia night. There is a communal kitchen with all amenities and various places where you can relax, such as several hammocks or sofas. The Garden will soon be renovated with, among other things, a volleyball field. There is already a slackline and campfire spot available! And don't forget to cuddle or play with the cutest dog (Lobo) and sweetest cat (Venus)!

Beautiful hostel, chilled but sociable. A little way out of town so not the ideal place if you want to be in the thick of it but in exchange you get the peace of the jungle and an amazing setting. Staff all very friendly and helpful, would definitely go back.

Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
