The host is incredibly friendly, helpful, and very communicative. He is always happy to assist with any questions or concerns and genuinely enjoys interacting with the backpackers, which creates a very welcoming atmosphere. What I also really loved were the activities and facilities offered at the hostel things like table tennis, a gym, and other shared spaces make it easy to meet people and feel comfortable during your stay. I can highly recommend this place

The owners were incredibly friendly and always went out of their way to help with anything we needed. The location was perfect too because you’re right across from the sloth tours and just down the road from the main town with all the resteraunts. The rooms were spotless, the beds super comfortable, and the showers had hot water (a rare find!). The communal areas were beautiful there was beautiful art work all over that they painted themselves and so many games!! 10/10
