   Thank you to all the helpful amazing staff, so friendly and welcoming. Location is perfect I extended my stay to 8 nights because I enjoyed this place and exploring the island. Very clean, kitchen is perfect for cooking meals. Rooms were clean, bathrooms cleaned everyday. I would highly recommend staying here. Thank you for a lovely stay

   My luckiest find on this island. What a beautiful place! Could have stayed here a long time. Victoria and Bernie were amazingly friendly and hospitable. It felt like I was family here in less than a week. Be sure to visit the nearby Casita Miro winery and restaurant.

   This hostel is truly a little paradise! I felt very welcomed and well looked after during my stay. Every corner—the rooms, the kitchen, the bathrooms, and the common areas—is spotless and cozy. The outdoor area is simply magical, with a breathtaking view of the ocean. But what makes this place unforgettable are the people. Victoria and Diego are the heart and soul of the hostel, radiating warmth and kindness, and the entire staff is equally amazing—friendly, attentive, and always ready to share a smile or a conversation. I felt completely at home here, like a second home far away from my own.

   Amazing hostel! The staff were incredible especially Diego, he recommended us walks and was very helpful during our stay. The hostel is right next to the beach and a bus stop so it’s easy to get around the island. Just a really nice vibe place!

   Amazing hostel in a beautiful location. The staff were all extremely helpful and kind, and there was a great social atmosphere. My 4-bed dorm was big and everywhere in the hostel was clean

   Four of us stayed for one night and we were really disappointed with the level of hygiene. Lounge, kitchen (not just washing up left by guests - dirty shelves, storage areas and horrible fridges that should be cleaned by staff), hallways and bathrooms all really unclean and the whole place smelled damp. Stains on bed linens. We’ve stayed in a ton of hostels and this was by far the worst experience we’ve had - saw loads of good reviews so wondering if it’s down to short staffing? Such a shame because views are amazing and it could be great.

   The location was very pretty but unfortunately the vibe of the place was very weird, if you where to say hello to someone even the staff you would be met with a blank emotionless face and to top it off the room wasn't even provided with clean blankets, rubbish laying around and woke up to an ant Infestation all over the walls and in our bags. To be fair we felt like the ants in a way, felt like unwanted visitor's. Wouldn't recommend unless you want the depression to kick in.

   Insanely gorgeous view from the front lawn. The beach is stunning and a 5min walk down from the hill that the hostel sits on. Staff were fun. Rooms were very clean, open, and bright. Toilets and showers were separated, with each shower in it’s own stall with a bench, hooks, and tons of room to put your stuff. All in all, great vibes. Certainly recommend!
