We hadden 1 dag vertraging. Buiten onze schuld om. Hebben meteen gemaild. Kregen een bevestiging terug dat het geen probleem was. Komen we midden in de nacht aan, was er geen kamer meer beschikbaar. In een oude auto naar een ander hostel gebracht. Dat was wel goed.

My private room was full of fungus, it stink very BAD!! All my clothes was stinking and yellow for the first night I have there. There was only 1 light that was working in the room, and it was dirty AF, and the room was in so bad condition. Even the window for mosquito couldn't close so there was mosquito over all, and you couldn't control the air condition by your self. And you couldn't lock the door, because is was broke the handle. 115 UDS for 3 night. And the kitchen was bad and pool! Sick�...

Bedding and room overall were not clean or well maintained, we had back and neck issues for two weeks after sleeping in the beds. No pillows :( To be fair, it’s very hot there and the air conditioning worked well. The pool was nice and good kitchen but not very welcoming vibes. The staff were friendly and gave good information about the town and the tours.

We changed the room 3 times, the living conditions definitely differ from the conditions for the amount I paid for the night in the above-mentioned hostel. The smell of faeces in the room is not the fault of humidity. The lack of running water is another example of dire conditions. Cleanliness level 0, cobwebs, dirty floors, falling ceiling. I informed the staff about all the shortcomings, in response I got a bucket for water from the pool to be able to flush the toilet. Pool very dirty.

The location was great and it was very cheap. However, our room was unclean and the whole property needs some care and attention. The bathroom had dead flies / mosquitoes on the windowsill and mould in between the tiles, so you felt dirty after showering. Bedding has black mould. We didn’t use the pool as it didn’t look like it does in the pictures and the pool table is unusable. Fridge has about 3 years of dirt growing around the edges- everything just feels grubby.

The staff were really friendly and welcoming but the hostel itself is very unclean. The pool was dirty so could not be used, and the towels we were given had stains on them. It was fine for a one night stay when visiting the falls but I would not recommend staying longer than that.

The rooms were in pretty poor condition overall. The beds weren’t very comfortable, and the bathrooms were small and not very clean. The “air conditioning” was also very noisy, which made it hard to sleep. The pool didn’t seem very well maintained either. On the bright side, the staff were friendly and helpful

We hebben helaas een hele slechte ervaring gehad hier. We zijn ‘s avonds laat het hostel uit gevlucht wegens dat de hele kamer, inclusief het bed vol met insecten lag (ik snap dat we tussen de bomen zitten, maar sommige dingen gaan te ver). Daarnaast leefde de airco zijn eigen leven en ging die ineens op 25 graden maar het werd bloedheet in de kamer alsof die in de fik ging. Toen we de douche aandeden kwam er een mega rioollucht omhoog. Het zwembad was gifgroen. Voor ons nooit meer helaas.

Our room was really damp. As in it had a bad smell and we felt physically wet when staying in it. Also the bathroom situation was a little poor. We ended up leaving the hostel early unfortunately because we felt so uncomfortable in the room from the damp. I don’t know if it was just the room we were in (double bed). After staying there 1 night our clothes smelled bad from the damp also. The staff were really nice and friendly however :)

Avoid this hostel. It hasn’t been cleaned in forever. We had thick dirt on all surfaces and dead bugs all over the floor and squished on the walls. The room stank of sewage. The bed was uncomfortable and when I took the pillow case off my pillow was mouldy and stank. The pool is vile, again full of bugs and not clean. The kitchen is equally horrendous. I wouldn’t leave my food here or cook. We could hear rats running about in the ceiling all night. We checked out early, the manager wasn’t ...

Les chambres sont bien et la salle de bain aussi, pas incroyable mais très ok. L’hostel n’est pas social du tout et il est très petit. La piscine est degueulasse.

Respecto al espacio está súper lindo, la habitación estaba acorde a lo que abone y tiene muy buena ubicación, Lo único a destacar es que la imagen de la cocina que figura en la app no es la que verdaderamente tienen, deberían poner una foto real y ofrecer un mejor servicio en ese sentido. No tienen mucha vajilla , espa...

We stayed for 2 nights and had a great experience. The hostel was located on a good spot close to everything but still in a calm and quiet neighbourhood. The staff gets a 10/10 for being helpful, welcoming and nice. Instant feeling of home. In the common areas you get a very cozy feeling of being in the forest having loads of plants and trees surrounding and isolating the yard. The AC didn’t work properly. And the pool could use a filtering session, but apart from that, I give the place ...

Nice place with nice staff. Only thing missing is that power sockets like many in Argentina are quite weak at holding in the plugs which can make it difficult to charge your devices.

This hostel was decent. Not many people and tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. Definitely not a social hostel so I wouldn’t book if you’re a solo traveler. Property felt somewhat dirty and run down. It does the trick for a cheap hostel if that’s all you need.

Great hostel within easy walking distance of the bus station where you get the bus to go to Iguazu Falls. Felt very quiet and safe. Hostel owner was very friendly and accommodating. He made sure I was able to access my room when I arrived late after my flight was delayed. The hostel has a swimming pool, which was great after hiking all day.
