Ricks Hostel Farmstay

I really enjoyed my stay here, it's beautiful and you have the animals in the front. It's a good place to get away from the noise and settle for a bit. The kitchen is fully equipped, has a nice view and the bathrooms are clean. The hostel is good to find, there are signs to point out where you should go on the property and at the entrance. Don't be confused you're entering the farm first but just follow the dirt road then you will find the hostel. The bus leaves from the main road every 30 min.

We booked 2 beds in the mixed dorm. We got there, the address provided took us to the farm. No one there could tell us where the actual hostel was, there was no phone number provided. A farm hand said he was going to "call Rick" to get information for us. It took him a solid 25 minutes to get around to making the call. No answer, we waited for about 30 more minutes by the horses as instructed. No one got back. I had emailed Rick at the address he gave me, 2 weeks later I have still not gotten a response. W

The experience at Rick’s was stressful and not as expected. It was challenging to find the hostel, our driver turned around multiple times to find the road, and it would have been helpful to have directions. There was no WiFi near the rooms as advertised, only in the farm area which is a ways up the dirt road. There were SO many insects - and we found three scorpions in our room, one near my friend’s pillow. I felt there could have been more precautions taken, like a bug net or a warning.
