EASILY one of my favourite hostels. The vibe the views is sooo good. Wasn’t too busy when I was there so lacked a social vibe but the layout is perfect to meet people as well. Only downside is a bit far from the city (~3km) but needed for the beautiful property so no points docked. Also they have more food than expected for not too expensive, don’t worry if you don’t bring enough food. Would also suggest the peak straight from the hostel beautiful hike!
