Smells like chemicals

Awful, the host kept talking about crackheads. I didn’t stay, I left after being in my room for ten minutes. The room was in poor condition, the blankets were extremely old and stained.

Bit different from regular hotel stay, had no issues about anything, nice back yard, quite unique, I would certainly consider staying here again

Had trouble at entrance, ring bell speaker full of static. Was denied use of the restroom. Felt unsafe dirty out dated and accommodations Limited. Did not stay and had a problem getting refund. Not a good choice at all. Would not recommend. And Expedia did not help get my money back reported both to the BBB

I loved the place. People are nice and kind.

Very low level property

If you are looking for an authentic South Florida adventure with character, Hoosville will linger in your memory. Friendly hostel host, outdoor area with unique personality, clean shared bathroom, washing/drying facilities, and a great price. May be not for everyone, but we enjoyed ourselves more than at a boring motel.

Staff was very helpful and met all my requested accomiations

excellent staff who helped make the stay comfortable. There was a problem with only two restrooms which is not enough. After midnight, other customers stayed in the restrooms for over an hour and would not leave. They were either sick or incoherent.

Stayed there with my girlfriend to recharge after a night of mosquitoes and rain in Everglades National Park. The owner, Mike, and all of his staff are welcoming and sociable. Interior is a little run-down, but clean and vibrant. The backyard will take your breath away. This place is his passion project, he bought it in total disrepair and has put 5 years now into renovating the place for young travelers looking for some nightlife fun and affordable accommodations. He also hosts reggae parties during holidays, with a fog machine, lasers, and DJ. Mike and the crew have big plans for their hostel, and he’ll gladly chat with you all morning about it. Can’t wait to go back for a NYE party once his smoothie bar (using local produce) and his Caribbean food stand get finished. Seriously, if you’re okay with a communal bathroom, come stay at a slice of Jamaican paradise right between Everglades and Key Largo.

Lots of amenities is this hostel which is good, only thing is rooms need upgrade but the affordable makes up for it

Our first time staying in a hostel. Staff was friendly and room was clean. We stayed in a private room. Hostel, although decorated nicely had a more “lived in” appearance and could definitely benefit from a small facelift. Outdoor common area was really pretty and it had a large outdoor shower as well as a tree house. We stayed in the “Water room” which had mermaid pictures on the wall. It had a mini fridge, smart tv and a portable ac unit Jerry rigged out the window? Oh and there was a $20 deposit for the remote control to the tv in the room. Neat property if you are looking for something mid point between Miami and the Keys or if you want to try out a hostel.

The place is amazing that is all

large cooking facilities as well as a washer and dryer

This is an incredibly comfortable and well run place for a hostel.It's great value close to Everglades and The Keys.The backyard garden is beautiful. Bathrooms are spotless.Nice kitchen open for resident's use.Management seems to screen out dodgy characters; I've felt completely safe here during my 6 day stay.Can't say enough good things about it.

If you are ok with a hostel you will be ok here. And Michael the owner is fabulous, friendly and helpful. We had a private room which was clean and neat. However all amenities, a/c for example are minimal (we had a non window unit). Shared bathroom was clean too. The building is old and kind of rundown and the kitchen could be more user friendly, kind of old smelly fridge.

This was a super cool quirky place. The people running it are super nice. It’s a great place to relax. Everything is communal, the rooms have several sets of bunk beds and you are renting a bed for the evening. There is a community kitchen and eating area as well as to watch tv. If you are cool sharing a room with others, this is a great spot. Felt safe and really enjoyed my time here.

Chris on reception was always very happy to help with anything, always with a smile! Thanks Chris, you made my stay very easy and relaxing!Without a car they could have branched out and done mini bus trips to Key West and the Everglades which would make their business boom!

This place so nice and friendly! I just stayed 3nights. So cozy, need more fix. But anyway it was clean, stuff were friendly.

pool- bugs in the bathroom, very dirty overall, quite gross.

The hostel was close to restaurants, grocery stores etc and very close to Everglades National Park. The property needs work but it was safe and the snowbirds who were at the hostel were very friendly and helpful.
