I never usually leave reviews but this hostel really deserves praise. Quite possibly one of my favourite hostels ever. The hostel itself is so affordable and in a great location, facilities are super clean, the kitchen is well stocked and the wifi is reliable. The staff are friendly and helpful when you have questions about where things are/what to do in Las Peñitas. I extended my stay 3 times, it’s a very easy place to get stuck ☺️☺️

The owners are two very friendly cousins, who created a very cool place. The rooms and the common areas are beautifully designed and built all from wood. It was also very clean. We felt very comfortable here.
