I had a wonderful stay here! Very quiet and peaceful area with beautiful views! A great and cheap breakfast available. Very close to town but far enough away to have peace. Lovely area with hammocks and access to the river. I can highly recommended this place. I stayed for 5 nights and really enjoyed my time here

It felt like a pretty safe area, but I was a bit surprised that, with the hostel open to the outside, the dorms were left unlocked, and there are no storage lockers. I didn't talk to people besides those in the dorm. I loved the hostel grounds surrounded by green, with a nice outdoor eating area facing active hummingbird feeders and a stream you can easily walk down to and enjoy. The staff will help you book activities or a ride without upcharge. Shower was nice and warm!

I really enjoyed my stay here. I wanted something, quiet, peaceful and solitary. One falls asleep hearing the sound of river and wakes up with the birds singing. The whole place seems like from a fairytale. Everybody was super nice.
