The location was nice. The hostel encouraged community building with movie nights and free “family” dinners M-W. The bed was comfortable. The staff were knowledgeable and always willing to help.

Taylor, Canada

Truly a great hostel, nice and comfortable bads, new and good pool table, lots of games and books, great breakfast, FREE dinner between Monday until Wednesday, good atmosphere and a cool place for meeting new people.

Pavel, Israel

Loved this place a hidden gem! I had free dinner the first 3 nights and this place is very social! Yoga was also available everyday for $3 Showers was also warm!! Staff were super helpful and nice!

Laura, United States of America

It's a social hostel where people meet easily and you can organise stuff such as rafting trips, paragliding, excursions and what not. Also they have a free dinner at monday, tuesday and wednesday. It's not a lot, but a nice touch and again, an easy way to meet new people.

The breakfast was good as were the bonus dinners on the house that was offered on each of my three night stay. Comfortable mattress. Friendly staff and good price for the rental bike.

Bob, Canada

I stayed 2 nights, on Monday and Tuesday, and on those days not only the breakfast but also the dinner is included! So I payed a total of 17.5$ for 2 nights and had 2 breakfast and 2 dinners included. The atmosphere was great at night, the common area is very comfortable and they have computers for common use, a TV with DVDs and a pool table. The Staff was very nice and will help you book your activities.

Katharina, Colombia

This was a community of its own, with travelers from all over the world sharing experiences. The community room/restaurant/bar was a terrific place to hang out. The food was fantastic. The free dinners and breakfasts were really tasty and vegetarian. Staff was helpful. We even helped paint a mural on the grounds. Relaxed, holiday vibe.

Phoenixrise, United States of America

Was clean and confortable, loved having my own bathroom and bedroom, everything was perfect.

Catalina, Chile

I really enjoyed the many services offered by the hostel. On the evening we stayed there was a free dinner, and earlier that day they offered free yoga. They also had bikes available which would of been a really nice thing to take advantage of if my companion and I were staying longer.

In the dorms, it was hard to charge your if phone if you were on the top bunk. Not a lot of space to put your stuff.
The staff and vibe at this hostel is great! I especially loved doing yoga with Ana :) There is a beautiful view from the hostel and you're still only a 5 min walk from the center of town.

Dogs are in the hostel and garden, they should mention it if some people are allergic or afraid of dogs. The breakfast was very basic: bread with jam, coffee, banana.
Good location. We stayed in a suite with living room and jacuzzi, very nice spacious room, but NO CURTAINS, which means everyone can look into your room.

The breakfast was included but only included bread, a banana, and oatmeal for food. There was coffee, tea, and juice as well but for adventurous travelers that’s not really enough. If you wanted any protein you had to pay for it.
The location was nice. The hostel encouraged community building with movie nights and free “family” dinners M-W. The bed was comfortable. The staff were knowledgeable and always willing to help.
