Have stayed here many times in multiple different rooms. It's always great value for money. Clean place, comfortable beds, amazing hosts. Keep coming back!

Michelle Netherlands

Our room was excellent, big and we'll equiped with two fans. Bathroom big, and kitchen with fridge sink , some basic plates and cups, no cooking. The external kitchen at the back of the house is really cute , enough for two to cook. All staff was really friendly with us and the cleaning was the best!!! Big applause for the cleaning lady. Parking is a plus, but if you have a big car you may not be able to park inside. FREE WATER AND COFFEE/TEA INCLUDED!!

Cecilia was an amazing host and went out of her way to help us with anything we needed and didn't know we needed!! Was close to a beautiful beach just a 5 min walk outside of town. Would definitely recommend to others.

Very nice and welcoming hosts. Always asking if everything is fine. Provided fresh coffee and tea all day, which I appreciate a lot. Room was comfortable. I liked to have a small kitchenette in my room and also could use the gas stove outside. A short walk from the center,but easy to get around. You can also rent bicycles at the hostal.
