Summary of traveller reviews

Garpeza Backpacker in Port Barton is praised for its exceptionally friendly and helpful staff, who go above and beyond for guests. The location is ideal, being a short walk from the beach and amenities. While it offers a relaxed atmosphere, it's not a party hostel, making it great for solo travellers and couples seeking a chill stay. Some recent reviews mention issues with shower water pressure and occasional mosquito presence.

Really lovely hostel, no bunk beds which was great! A cute area where you can chill on beanbags, free drinking water and a cute bar. The showers were your typical budget hostel showers but I liked that they were away from the rooms. It’s the perfect hostel for chilling and in a great location. Best of all was the staff, super friendly and helpful, thank you so much for your hospitality 🫶🏻
