Awesome house and fabulous little villas in the back. Enormous outdoor area. Really nice owner! Clean and perfect place to be. Great wifi, I was able to do a zoom call in the patio area even after checking out. Highly appreciated. This is a special place!

This hostel was better than I expected. It is not really a party place as some comments I have read suggested. I liked the kitchen and the outside area and that there was enough space in the room for everyone's luggage.

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.
