The location is excellent, and the place was very clean and charming!
Though neither the owner nor other employees are in the property, the person that I believe is the owner sent information beforehand to my email and was available to take calls and respond to texts when questions arose.
We booked 2 rooms: one was great (1 queen bed with bathroom) and one was not what we had booked. The latter was supposed to have 2 separate sets of bunk beds (when booking, there were 2 pictures of bunk beds next to each other, and it said it was a room for 4 people), but there was only one set in the room.
We also did not know that the rooms were at two separate, though next to each other, locations.
You should know that for rooms 1-8, there are shared bathrooms and shared showers.
The room with the queen bed, room 9, had its own bathroom, and was excellent!
Also, the email sent beforehand talked about places to visit nearby, which is great, but the places are actually significantly farther than the message says.

No fuss, no muss. Self checking with key in a lockbox. Never saw anyone else. A hostel so very basic but not noisy despite restaurant right next door.
A hostel so don’t expect great water pressure or anything else except a convenient bed to sleep in

Location was great and room was very clean and tidy. Chickens were awake all night but not the fault of the location or staff. Would come back!
Some noises were unavoidable and a little bothersome.

Easy check in instructions. The description matched the reality. Very clean.
3.5 / 5.0
The location was ideal for our needs, as we came for the bio bay tour. We enjoyed the local restaurants at walkable distance and the beautiful beaches which we walked and enjoyed. The room was clean, small but pretty and functional.
The shower could have had hot water. It would have been nice to have a hand towel and wash cloths, but we appreciated the bath towels. The shower set up lent itself to water leaking due to the unadjustable placement of the shower head.
4.0 / 5.0
Easy access, secure and private. Good restaurants and bars in walking distance and a grocery up the street
4.5 / 5.0
Great location, with several beaches and several restaurants within walking distance.
Only minor suggestion maybe some washcloths and box of kleenex in the room would have been nice.
4.0 / 5.0
Convenient location, no contact check in and check out was easy. Room was small but clean.
For a basic accommodation the price was a little bit high, but I think it also depends on when you are traveling. It has everything you need, though!

The hostel now guest house now provides individual rooms rather than hostel bunk beds. The extra space, private shower and personal bathroom was very nice. Air conditioning was quiet and effective. I had wifi too!

It was somewhere to sleep
No support. No staff in sight. Not a whiff of a staff member my entire stay. The roof leaked on to my backpack and clothing when it rained.

We never saw the staff. If there’s an emergency you must call them, which is not convenient if your using an European number. No one come to clean in 3 days. a few things (minor stuff) disappear from the room.
the room. no staff. the noise. no cleaning.
4.5 / 5.0
Clean, had everything we needed. Bed was comfortable. A/C worked well. Our rooms had private bathrooms. Good location- walk to beach, restaurants, market. WiFi access. I did not mind waking up to the rooster’s call.
We rented 2 rooms and one of the rooms was missing the A/C remote. However, we were able to use the remote from the other room. They are not not up and running 100% so they didn’t have a common eating or kitchen area and no refrigerator.

The location is good, really close to the beach and good to visit other beaches. Shared bathrooms were clean.
The staff wasn't helpful at all. They weren't able to provide us information about local transportation, tours, etc. or they provided us wrong information. The room was really small.
3.5 / 5.0
Perfect location, very helpful staff, really cheap in comparison with other possibilities on the island
Dorms were pretty tiny (however OK for the price) and WiFi wasn’t working in rooms

The food was alright.
The bar/ restaurant staff were very rude! The a/c unit looked like it cought on fire once upon a time. I stayed in what would be considered Thier best accomodations, a single king room. And was probably the worst I have ever stayed in. The only good thing about the place was the hostel staff oh yeah and 135 dollars a night! Place is trash!
