I love everything about it. Great gardens with many lizards and frogs and sometimes sloths and agoutis and other animals. Kitchen, reception area and other sitting areas are nice and comfortable. Love the staff and volunteers and owners, and the overall chill vibe. Great location, too, just a quick walk or bike ride of 1-5 minutes to get to multiple beaches and to the middle of town. My favorite hostel ever, I ended up staying eleven weeks here! It is truly your home away from home.
Nada — all is good!

The staff was super friendly and helpful. Whenever we needed something, they helped us with everything. We also liked the whatsapp group with a lot of activities.
We had a private room and it was very pretty and spacious.
Maybe that it doesn‘t have AC. 🙈

The volunteers and staff were so friendly! Very nice rooms, comfy beds. The yoga in the mornings was great too. Great kitchen facilities and the outdoor space was beautiful! Would definitely stay here again
6 / 10Average·Dec 2025
The nice thing is that they have yoga class every day (extra cost)
The dorm without aircon is very noisy because it’s on the main road without window. The beds are also very uncomfortable. The dorm with AC is ok. You need to walk a bit or rent a bike to go to the center so better one hostel in the center.
