Honestly the worst hostel I’ve ever stayed at. My boyfriend and I booked 16 person mixed dorm, but got placed in 22 person dorm, with beds far away from each other. Place was extremely dirty, bathroom covered in dirt/mud. For many hours there was no power, no aircon and no water. But very loud music until 3.30 am! We booked 2 nights, but after one night we had enough and checked out. I will not recommend this place. Do yourself a favor and stay away. Got refunded for one night, which was nic...
De locatie was super, ook het water in de kamer was fijn. Verder was de kamer zeer slecht, het rook muffig/oud en naar schimmel en was vies. Bij aankomst was het beddengoed niet verschoond, zwarte haren met viezigheid in bed. Na het vragen kregen we wel nieuw beddengoed maar dit koste enige moeite. De ochtend na de feestjes waren de badkamers (douche en toiletten) zeer vies met sigaretten en vies toiletpapier.
The location was great, also the water in the room was nice. Verder was the room very bad, the smoke muffig/oud en naar schimmel en was vies. By the time we arrived the bedgoed was not changed, black hair with dirt in the bed. Na het vragen kregen we wel new bedgoed but dit kostte enige moeite. De ochtend en de feestjes were de badkamers (shower and toilets) very vies met sigaretten en vies toiletpapier
Nice common area. Dorms were very dirty and not often cleaned. Surf lessons are 200Q not 165 for one hour. Surf lesson itself was not very good and entirely in spanish. Would have been helpful if i was informed of this in advance. Asked the receptionist about social activties on that week in that hostel and she told me to go to a different hostel. Extremely loud music from next door club untill 3am most nights. Can get much nicer hostels for this price
Unless you are 18 and want to party, stay far away from this place.
They have bedbugs. My stuff was under my bed next to the bathroom (not sufficient storage) and the toilet flooded so all my stuff got soaked. The floor was completely wet the whole day and none of the staff seemed to care even though they were informed. Also, I ordered a veggie bagel and received one with meat. The person at the bar knew that I had the wrong product but didn’t do anything about it, only after 10 or so minutes she asked if I’m fine with what I got.
This was the worst experience I have ever had at a hostel, totally dirty rooms , smelly mattresses peed on , staff arrogant, cobwebs everywhere, pool dirty . I would never come back here again , it's one big dump .
In dit hostel draait het volledig om hoeveel je op een dag kan zuipen, hoeveel bellyshots je kan doen en met hoeveel mensen je de liefde kan bedrijven. Verder was het niet schoon en heb ik meerdere kakkerlakken, spinnen en salamanders moeten verjagen uit de kamer. Het enige positieve was het lunch menu en het uitzicht op de zee.
In this hostel it was all about how much you can drink in a day, how many belly shots you can do and how many people you can make love with. it was also not clean and i had to chase several cockroaches, spiders and salamanders out of the room. the only positive was the lunch menu and the view of the sea.
Nice people and social hostel but just realllyyy F… dirty and outdated. Rooms are so moldy. We had a private and the room was just damp and smelled so strong. Showers and toilets are bit nasty as well. I think this hostel is past its prime. We visited other hostels in el paredon and they are just so much more worth it. I think the owners are just not linvesting in the space anymore. We saw the place is for sale as well so maybe that’s the reason. Shout out to the staff, nothing wrong with t...
Nice location and many amazing social activities in the evenings. I highly recommend the family dinner! However, the private rooms are really not worth the money. It just consists of 2 beds but matrices are in bad condition. Bathrooms can be quite disgusting because the flushing sometimes doesn’t work effective. Everything you pay for is charged on your roomnumber. We were almost charged twice for the stuff that we already paid for in person. Overall: Nice social hostel but poorly manage...
Honestly don’t really see the hype and good reviews about this hostel. Stayed in a private room that was dark, dundgy, and smelt like mold. No place to put your stuff unless it’s on the ground. Beds were super uncomfortable unless you like sleeping on springs. Towels smelt rank. Party vibe is good if you’re in your early 20s but wouldn’t recommended for someone in late 20s. Overall wouldn’t recommend and would stay somewhere else. We ended up checking out early and switching hostels.

Not recommended if you want any sleep before 3am. Too much loud music, skanky and weak bar.
What a great location right beside the ocean and walking distance from so many great places. Sadly our experience wasn’t quite as imagined or lived up to the description of the hostel. Our room had lots of bugs, the power went out very frequently and water was shut off for a long period of time unable to shower or wash our hands. The restaurant is over priced and was out of key ingredients for popular drinks on an early Friday evening. As well, no turtles sadly.
Super hostel, localisation parfaite, bar et piscine hyper agréables, climatisation dans la chambre. Et restaurant de l'hostel aussi très bon. Seul point à noter: il y a beaucoup de soirées, que ce soit dans l'hostel ou dans les deux hostels voisins. J'ai tout de même très bien dormi.
Super hostel, perfect location, hyper nice bar and pool, air conditioning in the room. and the hostel restaurant is also very good. only point to note: there are many evenings, either in the hostel or in the two neighboring hostels. i still slept very well.
Super good hostel just thought it was a bit overpriced for what it’s worth. People say it’s super party hostel but it’s not rly. In the day it’s good music, chill vibes, but at night it’s pretty quiet. The volunteers where awful, they kept to themselves the whole time and didn’t make an effort with anyone or the family who have the hostel. One night when power went off. The shower flooded when the water came back on and get lots of people’s stuff wet. Just double check the shower...
This hostel is an interesting one. If you are happy going to bed past midnight, you will not have a single problem here, you will have a great time in fact being next to the beach and at a social place. However, if you want to go to bed earlier it will be near impossible as the hostel has fiestas v often and the music is very very loud until 12-1 am. Then the party goes to a different hostel. Breakfast not included. Met a few people who booked an 8 man room and got the 24 room.
AC was broken for a whole night, I tried to find the security guard but he wasn't there.
La seul point négatif est qu’on a loué un chambre il aurait manqué une table pour mettre nos bagages pour pas qu’on laisse nos choses par terre. Une petite lumière de coin de lit et un balaie pour nettoyer notre chambre à par de ça Cetais parfait
The only negative point is that when we rented a room it would have missed a table to put our luggage so we wouldn't leave our things on the floor. a small corner light and a broom to clean our room by that was perfect
Soooo loud…until 3AM. Hard to meet people in the hostel but great location helped.
This hostel is a nice choice for relaxing beach time and socialization. The volunteer and local staff were all kind and helpful. The restaurant upstairs is fairly good too. The bathrooms in the rooms weren’t kept super tidy, but there are beautiful outdoors showers. Security was lacking, no locks on the rooms or to the hostel itself. There’s also no overnight staff. Overall enjoyed my stay though!

Ambience lost. Facilities run down. One bathroom for twenty two bunks, though two thirty meters away outside.

WLAN funktioniert nicht und der Zustand der Toiletten ist nicht gut.
The WLAN is not working and the condition of the toilets is not good.
gracias estuve satisfecho del hospedaje y regresaré mientras lo sigan tratando bien gracias y nos vemos a la próxima
Thank you I was satisfied with the stay and will return as long as you continue to treat him well thank you and see you next time
Such a chill place to stay right on the beach with volleyball every day and super easy to meet people 😇 Great pool and common areas too. Can be loud at night from noise next door but the hostel shuts down at 10 so it’s not too bad.
Driftwood has the best location right on the beach. Staff is super friendly. Surf board rentals, bar, restaurant, parties. What more can u ask for! Wish I could have stayed longer
This place is amazing. The staff is what truly made Driftwood great. They become family and you meet tons of people here. Great pool. Volleyball everyday at 4:30pm, they have activities during the week. Music bingo karaoke was fun!! All I can say is, if you come to El Paredon, I highly recommend Driftwood!
10/10. Amazing location, good food/drinks, good pool. Air con is amazing and a lifesaver in the heat. The best part is the staff/volunteers - met countless friends here and will definitely be coming back.
Absolutely great experience. Some of the friendliest staff I’ve ever met at any hostel/hotel. Volleyball was amazing, swimming pool was fun, beach is a 20 second walk away. Met countless friends here. 10/10, would recommend!!!
