It's a clean and quiet guesthouse very close to the beach. There are outdoor seating areas and a living room to hang out and also a kitchen for basic cooking. The Kite Surfing School that Sarah runs offers probably the cheapest price in Paje. A mama cat chose this house for her 3 cutest new born babies and that beats everything (says a cat person 😂) Sarah is a very nice host. I'm glad you found a place in the world that makes you happy! Wish you all the best 😊

Miya New Zealand

Great location about a 1 minute walk from the beach. This is a wonderful guest house and the best value I found in Paje. Sara is an incredible hostess and made my stay enjoyable. Check out her kite surfing school! She has the best equipment for the lowest price that you’ll find anywhere on the beach, and the most experienced instructors. The rooms are clean and you can use the kitchen to prepare any meals. There’s a super market about 2 minutes away and fresh fruit stands everywhere. The house is new so many drivers won’t know where to find it. It’s right behind the Paje hospital. I loved my stay and would definitely return.

The location is really good,very close to the beach, but also close to the main road. It is a really good option for budget travelling. The room is basic but spacious and clean. There is a shared kitchen if you need to cook, and the house is located in a quiet area.The host is really nice and willing to help with everything you need. I would stay again!

Vanessa Spain

Location, the owners and the facilities are good, thanks to Sarah&Saluum, nice couple

Mehmet Turkey

The place is in a quiet area and close to the beach (only few minutes walking). The room was big and clean. It has a chilling area outside where you can rest and relax. The owner and the staff are really nice, kind and helpful. It is a really good option for backpackers: good prices and shared kitchen if you want to cook. I hope to be able to come back!

Vanessa Spain

Love the kitchen. Nice outdoor space. Adorable cat. Pocket friendly! 👍👍👍

Perfect for the budget traveller! Basic but nice and clean room and bathroom! Love the well equipped kitchen. It's just a few minutes walk from the beach and the main road which i love too! They have a reasonably priced kite surfing option. Would stay here again 🙂🙏
