A little farther than expected from the bus terminal (but close to the lake!), but generally a really nice environment. beautiful outside area with a garden and pool. I'm traveling solo and lots of common space made it pretty easy to meet people. lockers are big, showers are hot, kitchen is huge for a hostel and decently equipped.

Helpful staff, a friendly, relaxing place to stay. Lack of credit card payment facility was a small inconvenience and should be mentioned to customers making a booking / deposit online.

A really good location just meters away from one of the best spots to watch the lake... and any sunset too. Specially to have important conversations.

Worst hostel i stayed in so far. Dorms are in the top of the old house with an weird smell hanging around. The entrance of the hostel is looking like it is a homeless shelter. The first note you get walking in is: be sure to lock the door because the dogs run away all the time. After that there is more talking to the dogs than to the actual customers. Computer is extremely slow and you have to have a manual to use the stove in the kitchen. Too sum it up: i do not recommend this hostel.

Staff was amazing. Had asados all the time and great atmosphere. 6 person room was fine, was cleaned everyday and bed was clean. Bathroom was clean, but definitely lacking some of the basics....real lighting (couldn´t see anything if it was after 8 p.m.), doors that worked, and only one working sink.

Chilled hostel, clean, with a good kitchen. Nice common area and nice pool in the garden to relax after a day hike. A little bit far away the main street, beds could be better, no laundry service and no breakfast for this price is a shame.

It was a devided experience. Their was a pool, BBQ, bikerental and many other great details. But the owner and others partied untill 3:30 in the night, and didn't respond to complaints. There is only two shared bathrooms for almost 20 beds. The kitchen is so worn down that the shelves is falling apart. And the single computer in the hostel and the internet on it is so slow that it in practice can be used to very little. There was only one BBQ (though good) in the 4 days we're there.
