Charles and Maryna are absolutely lovely and very helpful hostel owners. So are their staff. Nothando is really clean. Very cilled out atmosphere. Had lots of fun playing with the dog.

A great 5 star hostel. The room was very much like a hotel room but with the added bonus of being able to cook your own food in the kitchen. Cheap drinks at the bar. Good restaurants within easy walking distance.

Very nice hostel with a chilled out atmosphere! The dorms aer nice, a bit small maybe. The bathrooms are clean, you can put your stuff into the safe and they\'ll book tours for you, BUT the transport there is ridiculously expensive!!! So you\'d rather find some people to come with you or rent a car instead!! It\'s also quite a hike to the beach, it\'s alright cause it\'s down the hill...up you might wanna take a taxi )
