Nice and clean hostel, however we found that they had A LOT of rules which you had to abide by, and not particulary helpful to guests arriving at early hours before check in time!

Jodanga is great. It's got to be the cleanest hostel around. While I'm sure there are cheaper ones in Santa Cruz, you are not going to beat how comfortable this place is.

We only stayed here for one night but it seemed like a good place to stay. It was modern, very clean and had great facilities like Internet (and free wifi), a swimming pool, pool room, good kitchen and great commune area. Breakfast was really good. You even received two eggs either scrambled or fried. Only slightly negative was that when we had two simple questions for the staff, they didn't seem that interested in helping us. Also they make you sign their "rules" sheet when you check in.

Very nice hostel, should hire more people for breakfast though, because as they say, it's not the cheapest place in Santa Cruz. Would stay there again, though

it's a little far from the citycentre and there are a lot of rules that are told in a little harsh way, but the hostel is very clean and the staff is really willing to help you. There are a lot of movies to watch and the pool and the barbecues are great.

Absolutely awesome vibe! Great place to stop off and catch your breath or party up a storm with fellow travellers.

Luxurious for a hostel, expect to see lots of backpackers from English speaking countries, Israel and Western Europe. A little bit like a mini vacation resort with the pool and bar there :-)

Good place to stay.

Over all it's nice/clean, but can be noisy at night (rather a party place). You have signs everywhere telling you in a rather harsh way what to do/how to do it, and even how many slices of fruit/bread you are allowed to eat for breakfast. Other signs threaten to charge you an extra night if you're not checking out exactly on time. It's not that most of the rules (you have to wash the dishes,...) don't make sense, but as responsible person with common sense you feel a bit patronized by the tone.
