Nice private room with toilet and very nice and friendly staff, affordable and tasty dinner (200 pesos)

Stephanie Netherlands

Cabo Polonio is beautiful. Lourdes and her daughter were charming. The one open restaurant served delicious food and Gabi was wonderful.

David United States of America

I came off-season (mid August) and booked a room with shared bathroom, but really had the entire place for myself. So this is as good a value as it gets! The hosts were super friendly and chill. The bed was comfortable and with the blankets supplied I wasn't cold at all, despite the cold, windy night. The kitchen was very comfortable too, with good stove and convenient utensils. I imagine that in the summer it's all a bit tighter, but should feel pretty cosy in the right company.

Adam Israel

Great location , great stuff Very nice people , close to a supermarket and bar.

Meytav Israel

We stayed in a private room, the bathrooms are shared and they weren't very clean. The same happened with both kitchens at the hostel. The staff was amazing and the meals they cooked also.

Sofia Argentina

Good location, good food and excelente people there.

Lorena Uruguay

The welcome was very warm and we enjoyed a dinner with the staff! Very nice place, disconnected from the world! You can relax on the hammock next to a camp fire!

Allan France

Best thing by far are the people and the vibe there, you don't need more than that to fully experience Cabo Polonio in a remarkable way. Jose from the staff apart from a great person is also a great cooker. My second third time there and I hope I'll be back there some day

Reinaldo Brazil

The staff was really friendly and I had some amazing dinner there. It's a cozy little hostel next to the beach.
