Should pay attention to the emails, especially to
I love el valle will always return
Slow response by stuff, not clear details. No one knows how to give correct information. Due to lack of information, my stay went a bit awkward. I even got jetlag, and that's a lot to sat by a Dominican.

Dirty, neglected, poorly organized and no service at all: never again.
The location and El Valle as a town is the only positive thing I can mention about this place.
Usually I am no one to write long reviews, but our stay at this hostel was so bad that I have to blow off some steam. This might have been the worst experience I have ever had in a hostel. When we first got there, nobody was there to receive us. We had to come back one hour later just to be told to go to another lodge to do our check-in. The lodge we then went to didn’t really know about that either. Our final check-in consisted of a woman showing us our rooms. There were no keys to our rooms and no helpful information about who we could contact in case of a problem. When we got to our rooms, we were shocked. They didn’t look anything like the pictures shown before. The rooms were dirty, especially the bathrooms; the mosquito nets had holes, and there were spider webs on the shower. The same can be said about the rest of the hostel. The kitchen was dirty and dirty dishes were lying around everywhere. The pool that looked very nice in the pictures was dirty as well and could not be used. We could not get a decent sleep at night either. While the sounds of nature we could listen to were very calming, our sleep was disturbed regularly by different kinds of noises. The hostel is next to a party location where an open-air disco took place, so there was extremely loud music playing until four o’clock (we had to get up at 7 to visit a tour we booked in Samaná). Due to the holes in the mosquito nets, we also had to deal with a bunch of unwanted visitors at night and our toilet was constantly pumping water with a very loud noise. So all in all we got to sleep about two hours in the first night. From the next day on, there was no water available, and it didn’t work for more than 30 hours until we left the next. Electricity regularly stopped working as well, sometimes for hours. What made this experience even worse was that there was no one we could talk to about all this whatsoever. There was no staff or manager present who we could complain to.

No me gusto
La recepción es muy bonita, el lugar es Nice para tu “pasar el día” tomarte fotos y irte no más
La condición de la habitación, se sentía todo al descubierto, la piscina estaba muy sucia y parece que el agua del baño se alimenta de la piscina, el precio es alto vs calidad, esos cualto’ le salen limpio a ellos hahahahah…..de noche fue terrible pensé que sería fresco pero Nee, el abanico de la habitación es muy alto por lo que apenas refrescaba los mosquitos hicieron fiesta hasta con mi cachorra 🫠 no dormí la noche entera por el calor y los mosquito hay un mosquitero pero con el puesto era todo lo mismo, pra cada quien su gusto pero yo no vuelvo, desde que dieron las 6 me prepare a coger carretera

Nice and chill hostel
The location is great! I liked the private room and the chill area around the pool. The people working at the hostel are very nice!
The bathroom is nice but would rather prefer a separation between the toilets and the shower to avoid all the water around. I had a good sleep the first time but unfortunately not the second night, really loud ecstatic music not coming from the hostel!

MEJOR HOSTEL DE SAMANÁ | BEST HOSTEL IN SAMANÁ
Great decor and space to meet other travellers. All the staff and the manager, Ana, were exceptionally friendly and attentive. Diez puntos!!
The hangovers and sunburn at a beach that is way too close. Kidding! I liked everything yo!

Very good
Able to relax, sounds of nature and close to the beach.
Very close to a night club so if you think you're going to get peace and quiet, you won't.
