Firstly I would 109% recommend this hostel, from the communication from the staff and the location mixed in with the lovely people we met along the way. 10 out of 10 stay. Super tidy, it was cleaned everyday! People respected the communal spaces. We were two girls travelling together and booked a mixed room. Most of the beds had curtains and all the beds had lockers that locked. There was everything we could ask for amd more. We had a fabulous stay and will be returning when we next come back.

It was my second stay at Wax Hostel and once again it was perfect (okay the only minus is lukewarm/cold water in the shower but I can't deduct a star for that because I love this place so much). Everything was clean, staff was wonderful as always. I appreciate that now there are bed curtains, that’s a great upgrade! Wax hostel feels like heaven on earth to me because of the location and first of all because of super cozy and relaxing vibe. I’ll be back again for sure;)

It was near deserted, and the weather was bad when I stayed, but the hostel itself is well located, close to the beach and bus stop, and it was fully equipped and comfortable. In different circumstances, I would give it a higher rating.
