Summary of traveller reviews

La Brujula Hostel in La Paloma offers a lovely atmosphere with friendly staff and a cozy vibe, close to the beach. Some guests note it's a bit of a walk to amenities, and occasionally beds can be shaky or kitchenware grubby.

Extremely shaky beds and quite limited food offerings (only pizza basically, which is a bit dissapointing given how large the hostel is, and that restaurants and supermarkets are like a 30 min walk away). Otherwise nice place close to the beach with a cozy hostel vibe

The hostel was super chill, staff are friendly, and it's close to the beach. Unfortunately I was the only person staying there so there was no vibe and I left a day early. It is also like a 40min walk to the town, they do serve pizzas but otherwise you'll need your own food. This would probably be a really cool place if there were lots of people but I guess I was unlucky
