Javier at reception was the best as well as the gorgeous ladies at the bar especially Sol who was an absolute angel. All the staff are so welcoming and the place is gorgeous it's very close to good restaurants and also offers great food in house. There are lots of fun activities and the place is right on the lake which was lovely to wake up to. Taxi from the bus station was cheap about 50 pesos and only a 15 min walk if you aren't lazy like me! Had a great experience and would definitely return. Thanks Yak x x

It just seemed so busy and hectic everywhere!!! The 8 bed dorm is so small and was the most expensive bed we have paid for our entire trip and we have stayed in mostly private rooms. The bathroom was dingy and dirty, everyone’s clothes hanging everywhere since there isn’t somewhere decent to dry them
Great location right on the water front and good breakfast. Social hostel!

Most expensive dorm in 10 months of travelling (including expensive places such as Australia, NZ, Fiji) and the given facilities didn't justify that. (Even towel rent costs extra) No shelf next to the power sockets so charging mobile phone on a top bed is a 90% spiderman app probability since bed doesnt meet the wall. The beds have grids on both ends so taller people will have to curl up. Only cold brekkie (nice fruits and granola though)
Staff were super nice Good lockers in the dorms

Staff is very occupied with its self, checking in takes ages. When I arrived they said very unfriendly, you have a reservation? When I said yes they pointed me to a couch where all the other people were already waiting. Overall vibe was very individualistic didn't feel at home as a solo traveler. Stayed one night and would not stay there again.
View at the lake is beautiful.

Right on the water so location is fantastic! A welcome drink on arrival helps to cool down. Rooms and bathrooms were in great condition and airconditioning is a bonus! Best breakfast on the peninsula.

Caged beds, which we knew however they were really uncomfortable, didn't manage to get much sleep. Quite expensive for the quality, you're paying for the view and location, which is quite nice.

All was pretty spot on but one thing they could do to improve is offer group dinners in the evenings (eg a bbq dinner for an extra charge would be perfect). The bed also wasn’t the comfiest we’d stayed in and our room was a little noisy until around 11pm
Beautiful location right on the lake. And spotlessly clean throughout! Also sunrise paddleboarding activity was the best - the perfect way to see the lake and well worth the early start. Also great activities in the evenings (we did the guacamole lesson which was lots of fun and yummy!)
