Great hostel which deserves a higher rating! We were there in low season and had a private room with en-suite, but it was comfortable with really spacious common areas and a big garden with nice wildlife. We were welcomed warmly and given great recommendations. The kitchen was well equipped with plenty of fridge space. There was even a little workout area. Hot water lasted for a few minutes, which was just about long enough. There is a good supermarket just a few minutes' walk towards town.

To me this is exactly the kind of hostel vibe I want to have when travelling. You don’t go to this place for the facilities, you go for the experience. It reminds me of community, freedom and art surrounded by beautiful nature and amazing open welcoming staff. I recommend this special hostel to everyone. In my opinion it’s the best hostel in El Vale De Anton. Don’t trust any medium reviews about this place. You just need to experience it for yourself. Thank you for opening this space 🙏🏻
