Bed bug reports

Confirmed Hostelworld
I honestly was so disappointed, was not worth €5 a night. There were so many rules it was like a prison eg. You could not use the kitchen at most key points during the day, this is not on, I’m not asking to cook in the night just during the day when I am hungry. I have photos of the bed bugs splatted on the bed, the owner proceeded to lecture me on how he was a biologist and that it wasn’t bed bugs; however my friend I am a General Practitioner and this was 100% them. Weird vibe isn’t the one.

Vibe Analysis
Tarifa Kite Hostel sits in the old town, within easy walking distance of the beach, the port, and the main bars and restaurants. There is a clear kite-surfing focus, with gear rental and lessons available, plus space for storing and washing equipment. Inside, the place is stylish and carefully finished, with a courtyard, a rooftop terrace, and comfortable common areas. Coffee, tea, fruit, and water are available through the day, and breakfast is a strong part of the stay. The rooftop views toward Tarifa, Morocco, and the Strait of Gibraltar are a major feature. Staff come across as warm, helpful, and attentive, with practical tips for food and getting around. Some rooms are small or dark, and parking is not simple, so this works best for travelers who want a central base more than easy car access.
