    BED BUGS!!🪳 Staff gaslighted us into believing the bites were mosquitos, ‘‘searched‘‘ in our beds, tricked us by saying tomorrow we will get new beds THREE days in a row. We didn’t get them. Left early, wanted our money back for the nights we couldn‘t stay there anymore and got nothing. Hostel gave us bed bugs and we gave them 80$. We saw more people in the hostel with bites and there are more reviews about it. Bites aren‘t special mosquitos from the Beach and the bed inspection isn‘t reliable.

    Nice vibe, directly on the beach. Dorms are crowded and small. I’m 100% sure they have got bedbugs. When I told the staff and show the bites, she wasn’t taking it seriously though?

    The WORST hostel I have ever stayed at. Awful value for money in the first place but it was the only place available at short notice when the Selina was closed (also avoid this). The room smelled so bad and there was a cockroach in the bed. Not friendly AT ALL. The worst was the fact however that they refused to give us money back when we cut the stay short due to bugs in the bed and have since added a random charge to my bank when we weren’t even in the hostel. AVOUD AVOID AVOID

    Bathrooms could’ve been cleaner and found bed bugs which led to us leaving early- we were refunded for the night we didn’t stay. Otherwise, overall good facilities and staff. Be aware that in the heat the 30 min walk to the town center is not ideal so you will likely need to get a taxi or hire a bike.

    Lage direkt am Strand, gute Dorms, viele junge Leute, man kann sowohl Fahrräder gegen Mietgebühr als auch Volleyball, Beachball usw. einfach so ausleihen Restaurant viel zu teuer, Küche wirklich sehr dreckig, scheinbar in manchen Zimmern Bettwanzen

    Die Location an sich ist wirklich schön mit den Hängematten, der Nähe zum Strand und dem Yoga Studio nebendran. Und man kommt auch mit den Leuten im Hostel in Kontakt kommen. Leider haben sie es nicht mit so mit Sauberkeit. Ich hab Bettwanzen im gemischten dorm gefunden. Zum Glück gleich am Anfang und konnte ins female dorm umziehen. Da jedoch konnte man auf den Holzbalken drum herum überall Mäusekot finden.

    Buen acceso a la playa, cómodos espacios comunes Habían chinches en la habitación, no estaría mal fumigar periódicamente

  10. Guest report Hostelworld

    Location is far from the center of town but in turn has a great beach. There was very little atmosphere and a big lack of social activities. One of our group and another person we met at the hostel woke up covered from head to toe in bites from bed bugs. We also found a cockroach in our room so wouldn’t recommend.
