Decepcionada

La señora Sonia de la recepción es muy amable, alegre y siempre da un buen trato a todas las personas

El aseo de las duchas, fue muy malo, siempre estaban sucias a cualquier hora del día. Los utensilios de la cocina están en un muy mal estado, las refris sucias y con mal olor

Great hostel for budget traveller. Clean and a lot of space!

Relatively quiet hostel with good vibes. Good option for budget travellers. It was clean and with a lot of space in open areas. Plenty of showers.

The tents get quite hot and don’t have much air. It’s obvious with this weather and all but can be uncomfortable.

Trashy staff with many guests high on heavy drugs.

Many employees were rude. One staff member looked me up and down and flipped me off. Only one male employee was kind to me. Dirty and many drunk and high guests. Not suitable for solo female travelers.

Pleasant

Close to the beach and town. Good price.

Very big. People live there in tents for long periods. A lot of shady or unstable people. Which makes it different kind of experience, depends on whom you run into.

Cool place with easy access to beach

I love the uniqueness of the decorations and architecture. I stayed in the mixed dorm and our entry way was a red hand door. I like that the beach was in the back, easy access to the beach. The vibe was very chill and the place was clean. I like that they have big lockers available along with its own locks as well. I liked this place so much, I extended my one night stay into 4 nights.

Nothing much, you get what you pay for, a clean comfortable place to sleep. No hot water but that wasn't an issue for me. I say this is probably a great place for the price they offer.

Very poor

The price is the cheapest in town. Bed in the tent was comfortable.

This was the closest I’ve ever been staying in a crack house. By far the dirtiest hostel I’ve stayed in and the staff were very rude.

Good

Great vibe and beach out the back, good tunes at the bar

The reviews talk mostly about how it's hard to sleep in because of the party noise which was very quiet and manageable for us (and we were there over a weekend) but the kitchen zone gets very loud super early in the morning and you can hear people talking as though they're in your tent. It's odd to have a culture of people who start talking loudly and cooking at 6am.

Exceptional

I sleeped in the dorm with the Hammocks. It's possible to hang up your own or the one from the hostel. 1 night in a Hammock from the hostel is 6$ and the price is super fair.

The kitchen was very small for the amount of people and the there was kind of no cooking equipment

Bad

Location is good

This place is like a prison. There are locks on the inside of doors so you can’t leave the property without a key. The staff watches cameras and stares at you like they are prison wardens. Don’t think you can bring someone on property to your room, staff will charge them for a full night. They are very strict. There’s a fire and problem so prepare to be itchy. Staff wasn’t respectful initially but I stayed a while and they became kinder over the duration of my stay

Disappointing

The concept, the vibe and the staff was good. It's close to the beach and they do offer activities like bonfires.

The bathrooms are dirty, there is not enough showers for everyone and in the morning there was no water so I leave to your imagination the condition of the toilets.
