Waiwas Hostel

The hostel had a great vibe and the family dinner was a really nice way to meet people! It has good facilities and everything was clean. But the most amazing part of the hostel is the staff! They were all so friendly, and a special thanks to Alihandro for making me feel so welcome and making sure I got everything I needed during my stay :)

It turned out to be more a party hostel than I expected.

Really social hostel - especially the family dinner was great! The pool is nice and renting a scooter and getting transport was really easy! The staff was amazing and incredibly friendly!! especially Alihandro made sure we had everything we need :)

way more of a party vibe than I imagined. The loud music is playing until at least 11 and the doors don't probably close so it's really loud inside the rooms...

Shared dinner Tuesday-Sunday was a great way to meet people. Yoga was super nice and they have a mini gym too. The dorm was surprisingly super quiet for so many people. Shared area outside was good with lots of seats.

No filtered drinking water is included, which sucks when you’re trying to reduce single use plastic waste. Usually surfing + yoga = some environmental consciousness or consideration. Theres no way to make oatmeal etc in the morning either.

Nice and social with free dinner almost every night. Great place to meet other travelers. They rent scooters for very cheap. There are security guards at the entrance at all times and they are very nice and helpful.

The capsules smell like mold, there is a real cleanliness problem in this hostel. In the 4 days I was there, the bathrooms were not cleaned once. Some of the bathrooms doors don’t close fully, others make you struggle to open them. The staff comes into the room in the morning and talk loudly. The AC is turned off at 10 which makes the room boiling hot, and to make it even worse they leave to room doors open. I had asked for a bottom bed which was not available on my first night, so in the morning they OPENED MY CURTAIN to tell me i could switch beds. It was very nice of them to offer that new bed, but you can’t open someone’s curtain, that’s the only privacy we have in a dorm.
