Best hostel ive stayed in yet! I never wanted to leave...breakfast was great, provided actual FRUIT as opposed to just fatty bread! Really comfty and clean beds! There there also blinds so you could sleep during the day! Plenty of hammock action...the showers where showers as opposed to a pipe out the wall and most of all the staff where so much fun! Joing in on games, conversations and stories! Dinner was also made every night at a good price home made by the staff..MUCH LOVE FROM LONDON!

Awful. The place was completely constructed of particleboard, it felt like I was staying in a shed. It was incredibly loud all the time, the only exception being from about 5am to 8am. Loud music and drunken singing. I went there to chill out and just got pissed off from having drunks constantly wake me up at all hours of the night from their noise, turning on the lights, the smell of their cheap cologne, etc. Lots of creepy guys. Bad/ dirty kitchen. Poor wifi and few plugs.

This hostel is beautiful in its simplicity. I loved my 3 days there. The atmosphere is really good and fun, the staff is very helpful. My bed was good, my room too. One of the best things about this hostel is that they offer dinner every day. You pay and eat all you want. This is good for people interact with each other.

I LOVED my stay at the hostel, will definitely be a repeat customer. The staff was friendly and really helpful with my travel plans and all my questions, place was really clean and there was a GREAT breakfast (different options) and the best BBQ in ate in life. Its really close to all the touristy spots & easy to walk to the beach. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a place to stay in Punta del Diablo, Uruguay.

Had a great time, met all expectations, lovely staff, very friendly, Only negative was average breakfast, yoghurt with a bit more fruit would make it much better.

loved the hostel.loved the staff! everyone was super friendly, welcoming, and informative. it was clean, great location near the beach and near the center. the staff also cooked nearly every night, and every night that they cooked they did an excellent job, and it was much cheaper than eating out. By far the best hostel.

I've been in other Hostels in Punta del Diablo an definitely this one was the cleanest, most comfortable one. And can't doubt that of all Hostels, this one is the one with the best Value for Money. Smaller rooms (share with 3 others not 9 others or more) and most adequate bathroom facilities! Can actually shower AND get dressed in one same room by yourself! Congrats on the Hostel!

Small hostel, very small indeed. But it's kind of interesting, all wooden huts. Facilities are not the best, tiny kitchen. I'm not sure if it was due to being the weekend, but it was almost completely Spanish-speaking people staying there (from Uruguay/Argentina), and since they dont (want to) speak English, it was hard to socialize with people. Staff are ok nice, but weren't too eager to keep the international level up. I only stayed 1 night instead of 2, cause I could not fit in. Not the best

Great hostel. Argentinian, uk, mexico, uruguay, israel, usa and chlie were all represented. Staff were so friendly and the multinational guests mixed far better than any oyher hostel i have seen. Loved it!

lovely little hostel right next to the beach. breakfast was great. had a good vibe and easy to meet people. beds were comfy and had lockers underneath, but rooms were small, difficult to do anything if more than one of you is in there. kitchen was also tiny.

I (L) Unplugged! The atmosphere is amazing, staff is incredible!!! They are always taking care of you and entertaining everyone. Highlight: every night they prepare local food for guests and it's not expensive at all. I loved the fact that you can rest, read and be calmed during the day and party at night!! I had tons of much fun! I really miss you guys! I'm definitely coming back soon. For those that want to sleep, no worries, they are very careful with noises, so party's not a problem at all.

This place was way to expensive for what you got it`s basically a shed and the breakfast is pretty plain. I changed places after one night.
