Great budget hostel overall, very very clean as they clean the bathrooms every 2 hrs, good front sitting area, cheesco (the staff) was very friendly and nice to talk to and had great conversational english. 100m from the beach and bus stop, you could hear the waves.
The beds and pillows were ok but could have been better.

6 / 10Average·Aug 2026
The hostel is a little out dated. In need of renovations. But it’s a nice place to stay for a few nights. There are a few areas to chill. The family is kind and generous.
Extremely close to the beach, 2 minutes. You can walk down to see the sunset and bring your own coffee.
I shared my single room with a couple of Gecko’s and enjoyed my stay.
Maybe put up some lights that turn on and off automatically? Switches can be hard to find.
Bathroom could use an upgrade. ;)
