Feeling mixed emotions. Booked a barrel first- way too small for 2 people but advertised as a private for 1-2. Moved to a tent- the sheets were damp and our stuff got wet in the rain. Moved to a dorm- found 2 cockroaches. The hostel has potential with the pool and social space, but no atmosphere in the off season. They didn’t even have the bar open. Met some lovely people and the staff were mostly helpful but overall 3/10 don’t recommend.
