The experience was nearly flawless. Steffy makes her guests feel like a part of the family. In fact, it is beyond a family feel as she helps her guests out with any and all questions. I would highly recommend this hostel for solo travelers.

We stayed for a bit more than a week in one of the double rooms and we felt very comfortable for the whole duration. The room was well equipped with bed side tables, small shelf and possibility to hang stuff. The bed was very comfortable and the AC worked well. The staff were very friendly and we were surprised how dedicated they were in keeping the place clean all the time. Also we liked the cute dogs and cats that lived on the property. Furthermore we liked the many possibilities to hang out, like in the garden, multiple tables and a working area. Also there is a ping pong table which was great fun.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Super friendly hostel in great location. Very close to a Rana Dorada craft beer joint and a cheap yet tasty pizza shop. Very near the front, if you want to walk/jog/run along the boardwalk.
