    Please note that the reception is closed from 9pm until 8am.
    If you expect to arrive outside reception opening hours, please inform the property in advance.
    Contact details can be found on your booking confirmation.

    Please check pictures and hostel descriptions carefully: Our hostel is located a 20 minutes walk from town, up a hill. It's made out of wood and the ceilings aren't closed.
    That brings the best air circulation but allows bugs etc. to enter the rooms, bats included.
    We can not change our location or building and we are actually very happy with it (geckos and bats eat mosquitos)...

    Important note for non refundable rates & group reservations: Please be aware that we will ask for a payment via PayPal in advance. Unfortunately we can not accept payment methods other than PayPal.

    More than 6 guests count as a group and we request a security deposit.

    ENVISION festival: Please note that during festival times we can only accept prepaid reservations, we will contact you about that in a personal message.

    Thanks for understanding and pura vida :-)
