Spectacular location, great vibe, super clean and friendly, great common areas, super community, excellent price - and all a not-for-profit organisation helping folks to travel, meet people and recharge their batteries. A gem!

Cozy and friendly atmosphere. Right beside the beach

Beach, room and surf were tremendous. The staff were friendly and very helpful. They were not at all lazy and had draws and boxes to put all my belongings in. It was in a wonderful position, close to food and restaurants.
The fact that it was necessary to walk into the darkness to have a cigarette 🚬 at night was upsetting. Also there were no ashtrays available that I was aware of. Also there was no soap in the dispenser in the shower room.

the location is great, surrounded by beautiful beaches.
the shared room was too small for the amount of bed that where installed. there was confortable space to leave the luggage as the lockers where also small to fit anything with a little volumen. their concept of cleanliness was doubtful.

Great kitchen and collective spaces, super clean
Dorm beds could have their individual electrical outlet and reading light – as they do in lots of hostels (we only had 2 outlets in one corner of the room and just one big ceiling light). And even better if each bed had its own curtains for a little more intimacy! :)

great location, good communal facilities. staff were helpful and friendly.
Room wasn’t cleaned between people moving into room. just the bedding was changed. bin was full the whole 3 days of my stay and floor wasn’t swept at all and was full of sand. it was during the Christmas break but bedding was changed for the in/outs just no cleaning.
the 3rd night I ended up sharing the 4 bed room with a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 young children) wasn’t really appropriate in my opinion. I thought families had to book a whole room to themselves!

My first stay in a Hostel. All you needed was there for the price
Booked on Booking ,com a room with one double bed and one single bed side by side. On arrival one double with single on top. We are mature women not easy or safe for use to get to top bunk. Every time some one moved whole bed moved. Complained and management said that that photo was put out by Booking.com,it was not there problem. They don't have any rooms like that. Another friend stayed and she had some problem. We were not happy as it was misleading advertising. My friend slept in T.V. room overnight the 2nd night of stay.

I'm not really a review writer but for an awesome stay, an awesome review will be in place. My plan was on staying here for a week but the weather changed so I decided to book a last minute on the weekend. The weather was great and I was really glad to see a room available on Booking.com as everything was sold out on the island. After one of the most easiest and fastest check ins I experienced, I felt already home. The hostel is near the beach, really a 2 minute walk. You can even hear the waves from the room! Furthermore, the kitchen and facilities are good for the hostel and the price is awesome. I even got a chance to dive with my diving license. Johannes (diving instructor) and the other instructors made sure to help me correctly and gave clear instructions for some refreshing knowledge. We even got lucky to see some manta's, turtles and whales who were communicating under water. I'll never forget this.
I really liked everything, unfortunately the hostel was fully booked after the weekend. Therefore, there weren't any more rooms available. After meeting some cool people I decided to stay another night but there wasn't any availability left anymore. So what I didn't like was that there aren't more rooms for such a great hostel! Please expand haha ;)

great kitchen and the showers have great water pressure
it’s not set up well for people who are travelling and working and need a great space to work, with easy access to power supply. (Take your own extension lead.)

Manta Lodge is so close to the beach and bus. The staff were friendly and helpful. The kitchen was well equipped and the games room was clean and tidy.
Better blankets would have been appreciated.

The beach was walking-distance away from the hostel, which was perfect. Also the staff was nice in offering us information about activities that are being organised and etc.
The rooms are extremely small, and to be fair the demographics of the guests were quite odd. Also it gets very cold at night.

A great communal kitchen with everything you need. Lots of nice people with whom you can have a good chat. Especially the dive team was super nice and helpful. Thank you!
The price-performance ratio is perfect and the location unbeatable. Everyone is super kind and helpful 😊👌🏻
