La ubicación

La limpieza de las zonas comunes y la habitación es muy justa; no estaba sucio, pero tampoco limpio. Nuestra habitación de 4 chicas no se limpió ningún día y la limpieza de los baños y zonas comunes se hacía a las 8 de la mañana que era la hora que se levantaba la mayoría de los huéspedes haciendo muy incómodo no poder ir al baño recién levantados o moverte por el hostel, debería hacerse en las horas de menos afluencia. Tanto los baños como las habitaciones no están aislados así que el ruido es evidente, aunque te ofrecen tapones para los oídos en la recepción. Hay dos cocinas, pero básicamente la útil es la superior ya que todos los utensilios están allí, estaría bien que el personal redistribuyera los objetos. No hay ningún tipo de control por parte del staff. En nuestra habitación hubo una noche que se coló a dormir una persona que no era huésped, pero que parecía alquilar material de surf porque quedo con un cliente en el alojamiento.

This hostel is a great place to meet people. The location and views from the terrace, while drinking a coffee. There is a beautiful cat that lives at the hostel. Curtains around the bunk beds.

Things could be improved. The cleaning is done very basically there could be some deep cleaning done. Some of the volunteers look a bit tired and sad, I don’t know maybe they are over worked or something else. It’s quite a compact hostel and gets dirty quickly. Some things in the kitchen are snagging and could do with updating. At night I found it hard to sleep, there is a lot of noise with the washing machine making all sorts out of noises, I am a light sleeper. I didn’t get any quality sleep during my stay. It’s also a bit expensive for what’s on offer.

The people working there were nice. Also there were some free things to use such as banana’s, eggs and spices.

To be honest, it’s not worth its price. We paid €70 for room a night. The room was just white and the beds were not comfortable at all, the pillows were thin and it was just a bed and a closet and a desk. For that price you can get so much more in the area. Also, we noticed that a lot of (spanish) friendgroups came into the hostel, for us who didn’t know any spanish, it was hard to communicate and people weren’t as open as we thought they would be. The northern of Gran Canaria is also very somber, and the beaches are black. We eventually ended up going to the south of Gran Canaria after 2 days (even though we booked 6 days at the hostel) , the price of 3 nights at a luxe apartment with swimmingpool, own bedroom and bathroom, was the same price as 1 night staying at the hostel while it was so much sunnier there, cleaner, and so much more comfortable because we had more facilities.also notice there’s a non-refund policy. i only recommend this hostel if you want to surf, because that’s the only reason you should go to Gran Canaria. The waves are amazing. The beaches not, just the waves. But notice that the rental of surf boards are very expensive in the area, for a suit and a board you pay like €25 for 2 hours surfing. and there isn’t much else to do in the neighbourhood but shop. the staff was amazing tho and tried to keep everything as clean as possible, which made our two nights that we stayed much more comfortable. you can also lend towels if you want, which is great

It is very clean for a hostel. And very well equipped. Excelent location.

* great location * good facilities - well equipped kitchens, books, basket- & footballs, some snorkeling equipment, beach tennis raquets etc. * terrace * staff is, in general, helpful

* double room that I booked: maybe knowing its name (Tropical) I shall expect it has no air conditioning, still, it's disappointing. + the window isn't external either (it opens to internal patio-like area), so to get any air flow, you also need to leave the door opened, which ruins your privacy * location of the room is poor in general, internal window on one side, behind the opposite wall - shared bathroom (so not exactly quiet in evenings / mornings), + it's rather poorly equipped * internet - sometimes working, sometimes not (and, since the room is 'internal', 4G signal is very poor too so you cannot just tether) * on some evenings some guests stayed loud way after 0:00, which is, in theory, curfew hour there, and staff didn't bother to ask them to stay quiet last 2 bullets are really disappointing, since those things are so easy to improve. Either you wanna attract surfers & digital nomads, or just party people, attracting both is rather difficult. Seems the owner & staff aren't sure yet what to choose :)

Gorgeous Terrace with an ocean view. Amazing location and right by the beach. Great staff. I noticed them cleaning a lot. I imagine it gets messy with all the sand. Key fob entrance. Privacy curtains on the beds. Filtered water on the sink. Great for what it is- a surf hostel.

Big problem: the lockers don’t fit normal sized locks. The hole is too small. Big security issue! Saw a cockroach in the kitchen- but I do understand they are everywhere on the island.

It was a great place to stay where I met lovely people! The location and view from the rooftop is amazing! There is also a cute cat. Thank you for making my stay in Gran Canaria a really nice experience :)

I wish I could have stayed longer

Perfekt place, great location and very familiar atmosfhere . I highly recommend it.

Room wasn't big, but terenie were many place where we could stay tex terenie is a cery nice tarrace om the last floor.

Personnel was so kind and accomodating. They stimulate the openness in the whole hostel. Especially Jackie was such a sweet person who was really professional in handling things and at the same time she was like a friend that invites you along after her shift. The hostel itself is pretty and has a nice terrace on the roof. The rules are respected by everyone. You can have a nice evening together as well as have some peace and quiet if you want to go to bed early. A lot of people were here by themselves and everyone was really open. The hostel attracts a wide audience so there was a mix of different ages, backgrounds and travel objectives. I was there for 4 nights on holiday after having explored the island and felt sorry I did not think about working from here and staying a little longer.

The kitchens are well equipped besides from the pots and pans, which could be replaced a bit quicker as lots of people use them and are difficult to keep clean with intense usage.

The hostel is really well allocated and the rooftop is perfect to look to the see on the sunset, but what really makes the difference are the volunteers that make the whole vibe of the hostel perfect and they do an amazing work everyday, spent the best times there with them, Jackie, Jasper and Pauline you were the best

The rooftop with a view towards the ocean is something I’ve never experienced anywhere else

location, staff, kitchen

the rooftop is so nice!

a lot of Germans haha

Friendly and nice staff, good beds, curtains in front of the bed, good location, everything works

I liked that the property was close to the beach.

I had a standard solo room. It was terrible. Not only did I pay way too much for this room, it did not have its own bathroom which I think is pretty terrible for the price i paid. Even the toilet was shared. The bed was really bad, the mattress was very thin and not comfortable at all. There was only one pillow which also was way too thin. If i did not know any better it would feel like I was in a prison for which I paid €90+ per night.

Hi I’m Japanese surfer and stayed there for a weeks the location is excellent for surfer and meets people who travel alone for short time or stay long turn. I’m coming back in two weeks to stay there again. Best Ryu

Nothing

People and location

Sometimes not too clean

As always an amazing stay in this hostel ! The team is super nice and available, lots of events are organized every week to gather people, and location is outstanding. Thanks again guys !

Nothing !

Amazing place to make new friends and perfect location! volunteers even organize activities to spend time together: movie night, dinners…

It was a bit difficult to fall sleep as the walls are thin and you could listen the noise…people talking even when you’re sleeping…also small toilets but very clean:)

Nice hostel a few meters away from the beach. Hostel with a good mix of people of different ages. The hostel was cleaned several times a day. The second kitchen (outdoor) on the roof is really pleasant. Good communication with the staff during the stay on WhatsApp and Booking. The curtains all around the bed were a really nice thing to have for the privicy.

Some equipment in the kitchen were not very functionning. Due to the large amount of staff members they were not all well informed and helpful. The cold water in the shower at night.

A fantastic hostel, excellent facilities, friendly helpful staff, great way to meet other travellers from all walks of life.
