The staff is great, the hostel is well located and the crowd is nice too. But the hostel needed to be cleaner, and should get rid of the dozens of annoying flies. They always botter you, even in the bedrooms.

I spent new years here and it was a good experience. A nice hostel with many guests and a nice atmosphere. On the downside, the kitchen was very small and there were not too much space to hang out. The staff was very nice though and always very helpful. I would recommend a stay here to anyone going to Punta del Diablo!

The location and breakfast were great! We have a problem with the pricing of the reservation but they solved everything :) and water entered to the room after a storm, but they offered us a solution, Excellent staff and place to stay! Free pick up !

Lockers in the outside bedrooms would be good for added security.

the rooms are not ventilated, and lacks fans in all rooms. discomfort at bedtime is evident, it is impossible to simply rest with the heat that usually do in the area of Punta del Diablo.

Great place with friendly staff. Some of the staff go out of their way to help answer your questions, others not so much. Great place to relax on the beach, have a few drinks and just get off the beaten path. It would have been nice if the hostel was more up to date on the bus schedule. Location was great, but took a few more minutes to find than what one would expect in a small sleepy town.

A great hostel, in a spot. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Felt very comfortable here. Rooms get super hot at night though and there is no air-con or cealing fans, and it seemed impossible to keep the mosquitoes out of the room. Made for a few sleepless nights. But otherwise we had a very enjoyable stay here.

Unbeatable location in a magical town. Staff was super friendly and a blast to hang out with. Nice beds, outdoor kitchen, great lobby. But what really stood out was the overall vibe of the place, social yet relaxing.. Happy. It was one of the hardest places to leave on my trip to over 20 countries.

No lockers available. We were packed in the dorm. Kitchen too small for the size of the hostel (I guess that helps to sell more diner). Bathroom could have been a lot cleaner. Thanks god the beach is great.

I really enjoyed my time at this hostel. Staff is great (people from all over the world) - calm, relaxed, easy going hostel, but at the same time it can get awesome parties. The hostal is well located and also has good facilities. I highly recommend this hostel and Punta del Diablo, as well. Hahahha, i´ve already missed my days in Punta del Diablo, and i shall be back someday.
