Lovely helpful staff, good location with clean rooms and facilities. Would recommend to stay. Breakfast better than most places with a choice which is unusual in most places!

Big, light, airy dorm with individual beds and lockers. Big open air space to relax. Eggs or yoghurt for breakfast instead of just bog standard bread and jam. Very relaxed feel. Quite close to supermarket but a bit of a walk to the beach.

A good hostel with a good kitchen...spacious and well equipped. Didn't really have much of an atmosphere when we were there, but the hostel has a nice area for socialising..Breakfast is good value (and fresh). Staff are all friendly and helpful, especially the owner. It's a bit of a hike to the beach and not within walking distance to the surf, but if you rent gear there they drive you to and from the beach at a time that suits you. The supermarket is near by.

Perfect for relaxing and surfing. The hostel is only 3 blocks from the main shopping area. Breakfast is really good and there is wifi in all the rooms.

Owner was wonderful and very helpful. Breakfast every morning was good with scrambled eggs and coffee and toast. Great place to stay and hang out for a few days before going on to Peru or Bolivia.

We absolutely loved this hostel! We liked it soo much that we stayed for 2 nights longer than we originally thought we would! The breakfast was great and everyone was really helpful! The beds were comfortable, and even staying in the dorm with 12 people, we felt like all of our valuables were safe and that we had our own space!!

Best bed I have ever slept in in hostel. Slept in the 12 bed dorm wich was fine. Such a big bed and enough space for your stuff and charge your phone and camera. Beds are made every day. Staff was nice and helpfull. Good breakfast but prefer the buffets. Only 2 showers and 1 toilet for girls is not enough. Atmosphere was laidback. Not much going on. Had a really nice time!

Lots of space in the dorm room and a good kitchen facility with lots of counter space. Close to the supermarket and about 20 minute walk from the bus station. Good staff, seemed like they wanted to be there and breakfast was served to you!
