    Recommendations: 1. Improve the internet speed. It is too slow in comparison with the rest of the accommodations in Spain, with an average of 30 MBPS. You guys can do better <3 2. The checkout policies are definitely too strict for my liking. After checkout, you kind of have to leave, and as far as I understood you cannot use the facilities at all. Maybe I'm just used to more flexibility, but yeah, I didn't love that. 3. The schedule in the kitchen is a bit weird. You cannot use it during certain hours. You still have plenty of time to cook your meals, of course, but I just found it weird. 4. My bed was "in the middle of the room", so, not close to any plug. This means I didn't have the opportunity of charging my phone or laptop from the comfort of my bed. My bed didn't have a lamp, and it would have been nice for some reading time under the blankets. 5. If you can slowly improve the mattresses over time, that would be awesome. The pillow was perfection tho.

    I loved my stay in this hostel. The team is a group of pretty cool and chill people. They keep the facilities clean and tidy. The kitchen is well-equipped, the living areas are big and spacious, and the garden is adorable. It's a lovely place! If I ever go back to Tarifa I would definitely stay here again. The location is perfect: very close to the old center and the beach. I was probably one of the few guests who did not arrive with the purpose of doing Kite, but even then I had a great time. I am a digital nomad and had plenty of space to work and chill in this hostel.

    The water jet is very low in all the showers, but perhaps it’s the same in all Tarifa (and also not too hot) the mattresses in the beds in the dormitory are unfortunately well laid out, but EVERYTHING else is just amazing!

    The stuff is amazing! So so kind and helpful, you feel like home. Thank you 😊 Rooms are nice, big lockers 😁 Washing machine available for 5€ great location with bars n restaurants close by

    There is no aircon in the bedrooms which makes it hard to sleep when it gets really hot. Make sure you have few drinks going to bed in those days ;). The kitchen also closes three times a day for cleaning, so make sure you plan accordingly. I initially booked through booking and once there extended my stay for two days and was charged even more (?) I didn't ask before extending as I thought the fare would be the same if not cheaper... but anyways, make sure you double-check beforehand. Also, finding a parking spot can be hard :(

    The location is top! The old town is just few walks away with plenty of shops, bars and restaurants. The hostel staff is amazing, always helpful and keen on assisting and providing guidance with anything needed. There is also a pretty cool rooftop where you can do stretches or practise yoga, you can borrow mats from reception. Victoria from reception particularly knows very well the kiting spots and is best to advise you where to go. Housekeeping staff was also lovely and the volunteers were also really keen on helping and having the place neat and comfy for guests. Really easy to meet people and make new friends.

    This is NOT the fault of the property, but the guests were so so loud in the night, that even with earplugs it was hard to sleep in the hostel room.

    It is close to the beach, the stuff is nice and the room was clean. The lockers are huge.

    Just a few tiny details could be improved to make the stay even more comfortable (like having hangers in all bathrooms, a few more hangers in the bedrooms, actual stairs for the upper bunk beds). But that's me just being really picky :)

    Great hostel stay, staff and volunteers are really nice, beds are comfortable, there's daily cleaning of the common areas and bedrooms. All in all, I'll come back! :)

    Showers have a button so you have to keep pushing them all the time for water to come out but water is warm so not such a big issue!

    Property has a big grass so you can clean kites and hang out. Nice hanging out area and big kitchen. Beds are confortable and private with the curtain! People are mostly kiters or learning so it was good to connect and go all together to the kiting spot.

    Perfectly located, this hostel is maybe the best one I ever stayed in. Apart from being super clean, the staff is extremely friendly, helpful, and will tell you all there is to know about the town and it’s best spots. If you are going to tarifa, this is the best hostel you could stay at, I will definitely come back :)

    They have a really strange rule for using the kitchen. There is a timetable where you see, when you can use it. So everyone has to cook at the same time. But maybe this is the reason why you can connect so easily with the other guests.

    One of the best hostels I habe been so far. It is really easy to get in touch with other guests, you can park for free somewhere up the street, everything is in walking distance. Liked it a lot and can only recommend it.

    No complaints at all!

    It was the best hostel I have ever been to! Staff was super super helpful & welcomimg - they knew every guest by name and asked them about their activities, very attentive! The guests were mostly kite surfers between 20 and 40, but even at 49 I felt welcome and could easily join in. The atmosphere is so relaxed and friendly, no party hostel as most people return tired from kite surfing, fix themselves some dinner and just hang out a bit. The boss is quite strict about the house rules and the lovely cleaning lady wipes all the floors every morning, so it's really clean. And the beds are quite comfy. I will definitely book again if I return to beautiful Tarifa!

    10/10 stay. Very comfortable well-sized beds, great common areas, big convenient lockers, great crowd of people, good kitchen, good staff. Really fun to meet and collaborate with so many other kiteboarders. The dining room is well set up with tables and chargers if you have to work a bit. The owner also connected me with his friend to repair my kite in under 24 hours. I stayed at the other top rated hostel in Tarifa too and Tarifa Kite Hostel was way better.
