I highly recommend this hostel! The staff always help us with everything, it was completely clean, the swimming pool was wonderful, the breackfast fantastic, the rooms comfortable. Nothing to complain about! They also have "THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO SANTA CRUZ", their own guide to the city, activities, prices, etc that let you programme your activities while you stay in there.

Too many rules, uptight staff, very far from the central plaza and most other things in town. Not even close to being worth the price, which is more than 3 times the price of everywhere else in town (only excluding proper hotels). Strongly suggest staying in a cheaper alojamiento near the center.

Fantastic hostel. Nice and clean. Really home-y and the BEST BREAKFAST EVER! fresh squeezes passion fruit juice was to die for. No air conditioning in rooms and really hot was my only complaint.

Nair and Jhanisse are the loveliest reception girls in the world. Barbeques are awesome and they cater for vegetarians too!

We only stayed one night but seemed like a great hostel! The pool and spa area looked great. I think they may need more than one bathroom for all those rooms outside though! Other than that the staff were helpful and nice.

Nice enough place. Location is a bit outside the centre but a taxi only costs 10bs and a minibus is only 1.75bs so not a big problem. Pool is nice and breakfast is decent. would stay again.

This hosatel appears to be great on the surface but the staff could be way more helpful than they are....speaking English isn't enough if the effiort to communictae with guests is not made (with one exception). It needs to be much clearer that the hostel is a good 25 minute walk away from the city centre. In terms of facilities the hostel is great. Good rooms, comfy beds, hot showers and the BEST breakfast.

Jodanga was a fun place to stay. It was quite a walk from the center of town, but otherwise very good.
