I had the most amazing time at this hostel - everything was a 10/10. The host, Sergio, was a legend, and he had suxh a beautiful and welcoming energy. I felt at home at this hostel, and absolutely adored the family dinners. I extended my stay multiple times, and also came back after for family dinner. You must stay here!

Best hostel I’ve ever stayed at! The owner is the sweetest man you’ll ever meet, and the social atmosphere feels like a family. The dinners he cooks each night are delicious, and you’ll stay at the table all night chatting! It’s also a quick walk to the beach and a market.
