Double rooms were lovely. Good breakfast and excellent kitchen. Comfy communal lounge and plenty of space. Lovely outside space and swimming pool. 10 mins to supermarket and 15 to beach. The staff were fantastic and really cared about how you found the place. Only slight gripe is that the noise travels due to the shape of the building but how much that happens depends on the people who are staying at the time.

Great hostel, lovely and very engaged staff. It is family-run so you really do feel like being at home. The location is about 10min walking from the beach and 15min from the center but that is what they state and what I was looking for. Everything is clean, breakfast great and we even had a delicious asado (BBQ) one night! Loved it!

Amazing hostel and staff! Of course, if you want something in the town or directly on the beach, there are plenty of other places that offer that. But for me, this was just perfect!

Great hostel! Lots of kitchen space, two sinks and good quality pots and pans. Lots of bathrooms. Sincerely friendly and helpful staff. A bit far from the town, but a nice chill location. Really comfortable place to hang out if it's raining. Great price. We stayed longer than had planned. Would recommend it.

Excellent staff who were all really friendly and helpful. Rooms were pretty clean and well maintained. The breakfast was nice. Not the closest hostel to the beach or to the centre of town, but a very nice location, close to supermarkets etc. I would come back and stay here in a heartbeat

I'm amazed with the way Seba and Guada treated us (hostel's managers/owners). We felt like dealing with good and old friends. The place is beautiful, the hostel is organized and well maintained and the "mood" is perfect!! We really enjoined our time spent there and decided to stay longer. The New Year's eve celebration organized by them were so much fun with good food and nice people.

Bright and cheerful and spotlessly clean. Ample bathroom facilities and a generous breakfast. Spacious living room and an extremely well equipped kitchen. Beautiful.

The owners of the hostel are great. They are lovely and care for the people. We loved the breakfast, it´s really good and a lot better than the standard toast with butter and dulce de leche. the atmosphere is really friendly and relaxed, just how you feel in this lovely village. The rooms are very clean and I can really recommend this hostel!
