Male, 25-30, England

The team working there are super friendly but the rooms were not clean at all. Multiple houses within the grounds were very dirty and I decided to leave and not stay the night after the new room which I was moved too after complaining about the old one was also filthy. Hard to call this place a hostel as there was little to no vibe. Probably not suitable to anyone under 40

We had the double single room, which had a nice terrace however the plugs did not work. The kitchen was very dirty and bathroom door lock a bit broken. The hosts were nice however did stain our washing. The pool was lovely though and great proximity to the beach!
