This place would be perfect if they fixed the showers, stayed nights total and had one warm shower during the stay. I get this is an Eco place and that solar hot water can be temperamental but the advertisement of hot showers is a bit misleading when this can only be achived some afternoons. We did speak to the staff about the lack of hot water and they went and checked something and said "Give it 10 mins" but nothing changed. All that being said every other aspect of the hostal is great.
