Stuck down a well lit side road this unassuming hostel offers a relaxed clean environment with all the basics covered. Jen and the team are always out to ensure all guests are happy. The food is well priced with a chilled, almost romantic setting after sunset.

This on the top of the world hostel has a view like no other. The tents are basic with facilities to match. But Sana and his team make up for anything you may be missing out on.

Great location with staff that make you feel at home. Swimming pool is a great touch and the cooking class and dinner really set the tone for this amazing social hostel.

This is a strange place. Not really a hostel, nor a dive shop. The owner didn't ask if we are divers or wanted to learn. The building is unfinished I hope, because if that is the finished plan it's already in ruin. The common area is badly laid out and there is no room for socialising. On the plus the place is clean and the rooms are ok. Free coffee sometimes requires filling the kettle in the bathroom. As there is a fridge, and I don't consider that a kitchen. Fine for a night or two. No more.

This is a nice new clean hostel. The location is close to the beach and ferry. Double bed dorms are done well.

Great chilled hostel. Really enjoyed the staff and the breakfast was brilliant. Showers in the dorms could do with more pressure but that is my only complaint. Its not enough to ruin the great time we had there.
Thanks very much for staying with us and your valuable feedback. My sincere apologies for the late breakfast. It is not acceptable and we will do our best to get beakfast out on time. The breakfast at Chill Inn are made fresh to make sure they taste great and nutritious, therefore sometimes there can be a delay especially if many people are up at the same time, however we have made changes to deal with this as well.

The hostel has a great location, and the facilities are in place for a great stay. But there is no personal touch. This is more of a hotel than a hostel. I went to the counter for various things and never dealt with the same person. Staff seem tired and overworked.

The hostel is slightly out of way but has a good feel. The staff are great and the kitchen serves up some good food at a fair price. Only complaint would have to be them moving us around and us not quite knowing why.

A good hostel with good staff and great hostel pets. Kitchen could do with a few things, like a kettle, but on the whole a good place to base yourself for a few days. Great towels!!

A great hostel with a great location 2 minutes from the beach. The staff went out of there way to make us comfortable. It is a little out of town which is perfect as the loud music can go on till 5 am. The kitchen is well equipped with mineral water on the house. Overall a great place to base yourself for a few days of chilling, beach bumming and surfing.

A good hostel with a great breakfast. The rooms were good and the bathrooms were clean with good hot showers. The ladies in the office were very helpful but the owner/manager is not very informative if you don't book tours through him. He also owes me a dollar.

A hostel to kick right back in. Rustic, rather sandy, and missing the "finer" touches. But if you looking to chill hard, this is your place. The hosts are stellar the make the place! And the good breakfast and puppies are worth staying for!
Pitty common sense can't be teached! Oh well....

Overall a good hostel. Possibly the best Huacachina has to offer. Eggs for breakfast was a nice change. The dorms seemed new, where clean. Heard stories of cold showers. I had no issues in that department though!

A no frills hostel that delivers what it promises. Nice common areas, surprisingly good wifi and hot water. The dorms are a little small and the lockers are outside. But the facilities are there. There is a water restriction in the evenings, but you are notified on arrival and can plan around it. Sebastian at reception is a character and very quirky and helpful.

A great cozy hostel with some of the best beds we have slept in. The hostel has good wifi, great staff and the free fruit all day is a nice touch. The location in good, not in the center of the madness, but close enough if that is what you are looking for. Gaby is a superstar!

Cons, staff are poorly trained. One staff member let her friends in to party with her, and that evening a day pack full of valuables was stolen. As well as food. She neglected her job and guests were left waiting outside while she partied and smoked dope with her friends. The hostel had a bad smell about it. I was assigned a bed, then found somebody else sleeping in it! New bed was fine, but locker didn't work. Breakfast is never on time. Shower may be hot, probably not. General bad attitude!

A clean hostel with decent dorms in a nice location. The kitchen is well kitted and the staff are helpful. Close to supermarkets, the lake, a laundry and bars.

A good clean hostel with staff, the breakfast cakes are amazing and the dorms well laid out. A short walk into the main areas around town and close to the bus station. Overall a great hostel!!

Best shower I have had on my travels so far, the staff are helpful and friendly. Breakfast was good with a fair variety. The beds and bathrooms were clean. I have nothing negative to say really.

This hostel is exactly what Cabo Polonio is about. A chilled vibe with fantastic friendly staff who are passionate about their work and the town in which they live. You may never want to leave, like us, who booked for 3 nights and stayed a week.

A great hostel to do exactly what the name suggest, chill. But is very well located within walking distance to sights and close to the metro and bus stations. The staff are great and gave us lots of useful information. The lounge room was particularly great in the winter. Warm and social. My only suggestion to the guesthouse would be up the surface area in the bathrooms and add some towel hooks to the mix. In our opinion a relaxed way to enjoy a busy city.
Thanks for your comment! I will add hooka this week! :) regards

A decent hostel with a good location. The town is tiny, so everything is in walking distance. The staff were friendly and helpful. Hot water is selective, I had a great hot shower after arrival, but after my run on the last day at 6:30 is was freezing, and so was the shower. Breakfast is good enough to keep you going, the fresh Empanadas and caramel did kinda made my day!

The hostel is still under construction. Literally a building site.I have no idea where the pics shown come from. But it is not what this hostel looks like. At all. The pool was green, the steps questionable. My biggest complaint was the state of the kitchen. Everything was dirty and greasy. Fruit flies dominated the place and we questioned wether or not cook there for health reasons. The bedroom, beds and bathroom however were spotless. The staff did promptly deal with the non flushing toilet.

Really a fantastic hostel with great friendly helpful staff. The location is great in relation to the falls and is close to a great supermarket and good restaurants. Definately the best hostel we stayed in during our time Brazil.

We have never tried to be better than anyone else, we only want to be better than yesterday. We don´t think of Tetris as a business but instead a way of connecting like minded people. Thank you for being part of our family. You will always be welcome at Tetris. Tetris Team

The location is awesome, makes it feel like a jungle retreat. The rooms are well laid out with comfy beds. And the shower, if you know how to use it is always hot. However the staff are not as accommodating as one would expect of accommodation. Only 1 staff member seems to care about the guests happiness to the rest it seems like to much of an effort. The kitchen situation is joke. And preferential treatment is clearly obvious. It's a shame because this place could be number 1.

A nice hostel in a good location situated close to the beautiful Ipanema beach. We would certainly return.

The hostel is new and clean. On arrival the staff greeted us warmly and the check in process was quick and easy. After a tour of the hostel, we where given tons of information about where to go to get well priced food and how to get around to the bigger attractions. The staff went out of there way to help and make our stay as pleasant as possible. The "chill" area upstairs is also well equipped with a flat screen, hundreds of movies and nice new macs, with breakfast and snacks are a nice touch.
It was a pleasure to have the both of you, and a big thanks for your kind words. Hope you've received your book :)

A great place to stay with fantastic staff, a good location and a real backpackers atmosphere. The "receptionist" Alan is a great man with lots of experience and stories. The rooms are clean and services offered are excellent. We felt welcomed from the minute we walked in until we left. It is a homely place and the other guests all mingle and chat about there experiences. On the whole I would recommend this hostel, even to my granny! Some of the best vibes I got on our whole trip!

It is in a fantastic location within a short walking distance from bus and train stations. Not as clean and modern as the photos make it out to be, but still a good place to stay. The staff are knowledgable and give tons of information on arrival on how to get around town, what to see and where to eat. Breakfast is included, yet limited. You get what you get, no real options, and washing up after yourself is expected, which makes it feel more like a glorified guesthouse as opposed to a hotel!

The hotel is well located close to the beach yet away from the madness. The rooms are large and clean. The cleaning staff were particularly friendly and always enjoyed a good laugh with us. There was no water or electricity for close on 3 days but the management did there best to make our stay bearable, and they gave us these days at half price. There was a area upstairs where it seemed a family was living which we felt an eyesore and it could have been better used for a guests chill area!

The photos on the sight are not even of the hostel!! After booking and paying a deposit I arrived to be told the hostel was full and then taken across town to a hotel where the receptionist was so rude he needed a hiding! I was horrified by the lack of service and complete disrespect showed to paying customers! When I asked for the manager I was told there was not one! So I spent the rest of my evening looking for somewhere decent to sleep, and after dark in Vietnam that is close on impossible!
