Taida Experience Hostel

This hostel was a huge disappointment. 7% card fees are outrageous, showers have no pressure, rooms are dingy with broken bed frames and no lockers. Everything costs extra: coffee, showers, lockers after check-out. The owner is unwelcoming and failed to notify me about a room change, which I learned from the cleaning lady despite her having my WhatsApp. Security issues—volunteers are unvetted, and a tablet was stolen few days prior. Many guests share the same frustrations. Avoid this place!

The two hostels. Squeezes you for every penny: coffee, water, towels, early check-in, v expensive laundry per 1/2 bag, AC during day paid per hour. The volunteers were so nice though. We had a private double room which was nice but v damp and AC created a puddle in our room so our bags were wet. Only allowed to use main kitchen from 10am-10pm. He says you must take tours through him but there are different and better options. Location is great, we love Rincon despite this

Air con in the rooms is amazing and keeps them super cool throughout the night, the hostel has everything you need for a comfortable stay, will be spending most the time on the beach anyway
