We stayed in a small room with access to the backyard, it had a private bathroom. Good room for the price. Breakfast was included and we could use a communal kitchen. The people were very nice, the room was very clean just a bit hot a fan would be needed maybe. It's a good place for a small vacation near the beach (300m). Good for friends, surfers, or even couples. Wouldn't recommend for a family. Decoration is amazing.

The staff was amazing! The volunteers were very nice and helpful at all times. Also Ali the owner was very nice, always making sure that everything is working properly. The house is very confortable, it has everything you need and the guests were all very welcoming. It's the perfect place to stay either if you are traveling alone or with friends.

Awesome hostel. The location is perfect for walking to a range of different surf breaks. The included breakfast is great and makes life so much easier. You get a towel included with your stay which is also really helpful. Upon arrival there was a cupboard in the kitchen with my name on it, and an allocated basket in the fridge. The owner also reached out on whatsapp prior to my stay with some useful information and to see if I had any questions :). Theres a shed in the garden to store your boards and theres places to hang your wetsuit too. Had an awesome time overall thanks to the volunteers and other guests.

The Captain's is THE PLACE TO GO when you come to Baleal. From the first moment it gave me the feeling of being welcomed to a lovely family of all ages and backgrounds. Even though I am not a surfer I was an equal member of the community hahaha.The staff was just amazing (big love to the czech crew and Kev) and every evening someone else cooked for the whole hostel and we all ate together. What a treat! The breakfast was abundant with eggs, bread, cereals, coffee....The house is beautifully decorated and the garden and big living room invite you to come together.My room had a little balcony and the bed was comfy for me, even though I have problems with my back. At night it was quiet and I got the rest I wanted. I also met people in other hostels who were just waiting to get a room in the Captain's and many people are coming back every year...maybe I'll be one of them😃

Where to start? The staff (Ali and the volunteers) are very welcoming. Great vibes in the house and the garden with all the guests. Feels like a family. We had dinner together almost every evening. The house is cleaned well and the beds are comfortable. Very cool, colourful decorations, even on the ceilings. Between waves checks, surf sessions (beach literally around the corner), walks on the cliffs it was just so nice to chill here. People were able to work remotely here. It's such a pity to leave, but will be back (probably soon).

Hostel is close to good beaches so morning surf or swim before breakfast is easy to do. After surfing you can rinse yourself and your gear in a backyard shower and leave the gear drying outside. Breakfast is very good. You won´t be left hungry.
