Really liked the host. Helpful guy. Dorm was nice, beds were comfty and clean. Nice cold room. Bit of a long walk from the new town but still good location. Nice seating area outside

Owner was welcoming and friendly, reception had a pool table and lots of seating to socialise and have a drink with others, within walking distance to good beach spots, rooms were nice and had comfy new mattresses. Outside the room were games and activities to do. Shower was nice and warm. Would definitely stay again.

Good place, lovely outdoor space for relaxing and morning yoga :) Friendly owner, can tell he cares about your experience as he was cleaning up any messes he saw whilst checking me in. Bed comfy enough with decent curtain cover. Shower simple, used the same soap for handwashing at sink & cleaning body.

Owner was lovely and very helpful and helped out when we left shoes behind. Beds are kind of a death trap and the curtain is held by some string. Shower was alright could be cleaned bit more. Outside area was nice. Well close to beach and all the main stuff

Average hostel. It’s just a dorm at the back of a bar, but it wasn’t very social. Right on a busy road as well so super noisy. Helpful owner though.

Ok das mit dem Klopapier stimmt. Maybe the English host is a little bit lazy :-) But absolut very friendly! Waren im Dorm. AC war ok. Mittags aus. Die Vorhängchen waren etwas primitiv angeschnürt. Tür bremst mal wieder am Boden. Supermarkt 20m fürs günstige Abendbierchen mit Sitzbank. 23.00 zu. Zum Strand etwas weiter. Schöner Garten. Katze und Fröschchen kommen auch mal vorbei. Rauchtisch mit 2 Stühlen genau vor der Türe. Nachts ist es ruhig. Gerne wieder!

I’m not sure how I managed to book this without seeing any reviews that reflected my experience. Maybe it’s because of my rooms specifically (2 bunk beds + awkward single bed). - outlets in my bed didn’t work - there’s a literal portable metal ladder used to get to the top bunk. This ladder is shared with the other bunk. If one person uses it, the other person is stranded to get down. - curtains are just scraps of fabric on string - no running water for shower or faucet attached to roo...

Das Bett war extrem wackelig, und es gab keine Leiter!? Es stand mitten im Raum eine Leiter, wenn die jedoch nicht beim Bett stand, kam man nicht mehr runter. Es gab kein Klopapier auf der Toilette. Das Hostel war auch insgesamt sehr tot. Für 1-2 Nächte in Ordnung ansonsten nicht empfehlenswert
