Great location on the laguna, good atmosphere, fun activities (try the SUP!), a very social but not a party hostel that I would definitely recommend :)

Breakfast was really good, they have tours available and paddle board during sunrise was AMAZING! They also have night events like guacamole creation, beer pong, etc.

The staff, with the exception of Candy, were unfriendly and somewhat rude. There was no atmosphere throughout the hostel. The only people that seemed to be hanging out at the bar or together was the staff, and the did not seem friendly or inclusive.

Even though the terrace is on the laguna you actually cant go swimming straight from it because its too muddy. Staff could be more helpful and kind.
Greatly located hostel with a super nice terrace on the laguna. Great activities provided that make you want to chill around. Rooms were nice as well.

“Not recommended”
- • Leisure trip

- • Stayed 2 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
I stayed in a private room that was just as expensive as the local hotels. I found lots of rubbish under my bed so not sure of the cleanliness. The shower was very weak, only a thin stream of water so difficult to wash my hair. To swim in the lake you had to first climb down stairs covered in algae and then swim between a narrow path between boats - the clear swimming area is then a bit further out. The guy with glasses at the reception was very rude to everyone I saw checking in. The coffee at the breakfast ran out way before the end of the breakfast time and was not replaced. The doors are made of thin plastic so you hear absolutely everything happening outside of your room. Overall, not recommended - you will get much better value for your money elsewhere.
The view over the lake is nice and the bar staff was very friendly. Nice evening entertainment. The WiFi was fast and efficient. The boat tour of the lake was superb and highly recommend, although it's done by a separate company not owned by the hostel.

Before arriving, I thought they’d be a patio area on the lake that would have sun loungers and hammocks. It can get quite tight on space when everyone is lounging outside.
Beautiful hostel, seems very new and overlooks the lake. Very social and the breakfast is wonderful. Beautifully ripe and fresh fruit!

The Yake Lake House was really one of the best hostels I stayed at. It was super clean, very friendly and full of life. We had a double room with the great view so we could feel all the time as we were on the beach that its in front. It's localised close to bars and restaurants. You can easily reach some nice lagoons from there. I recoment it to both those who usually travel to hostels and for those who search for an alternative for a hotel because the standar is very high :)

Nothing :)
I absolutely loved this place, one of my top 3 hostels I’ve ever stayed in and I’ve been around! The dorm rooms look out onto the stunning lake and the bonfire in the evening with live music and bbq really sealed the deal. The staff were lovely too and you can kayak on the lake straight from the hostel. 10/10!
