    It would be nice if there is a musquito net.

    The guesthouse is one of a kind. The buildings is stunning and well maintained full of color and flowers. The place is very well decorated. Originally the guesthouse is a surfers place, so they can arrange everything you want. But also if you don’t want to surf you are welcome. I stayed in a 2 persons studio and everything was extremely clean. Lilly took care of me as a real guest. She is polite and always available for help. The guesthouse is only 300 meters away from a quiet beach and nice beach bars. There are also plenty of restaurants nearby (try Art Kafe). I will come back and recommend al my friends to stay at this lovely place.

    Wi-Fi was ok but not fantastic. Plenty of beach bars around to get a better connection.

    Really happy it was only a few minutes walk to the beach, edge of town away from all the tourist activity (only 5 minutes walk). Great beach bars and supermarket next door. If I walked east from the house through the sand dunes, you had another great surf/kite spot, turtle beach with great swimming and secluded. Staff always helpful, organised or informed me anything I needed.

    The location is a bit far out to return at night, after dinner and drinks with your mates.

    Great place to stay, clean, spacious, good shower pressure, good wifi signal and spacious common areas to hang out and meet other guests. The manager was quite flexible with my check-in time.

    If I come back in the future, it would be nice if the house organized some more activities for all the guest, like dinners together or some kite sessions together - but I was in the very beginning of the season and they had just opened up so this might be in the works already by now :)

    Had a great stay at Surfactivity guest house! One of the most beautiful hostel-like (many private rooms though) I've ever been with great rooms and a lot of art. If you come for kiting, there is a large storage room where you can wash off and hang out your gear after some great kiting sessions at Kitebeach (I had wind for 7/10 days!). I didn't use the kitchen amenities that much but it all looked good and very hygienic. Lilly and Simon, the hosts, were also very friendly and helpful with everything. Thanks a lot and I will definitely come back!

    We only stayed for 3 nights in the end because the neighbours were being very noisy and we couldn't sleep.

    The owner was kind and really helpful.
