nice place, I met a lot of nice people. what I found to be really creepy was the owner watching us through the cameras the entire time. In the evening, siting in the chill area, talking, you suddenly see the camera light turned on and move around the entire time. This doesn't have anything to do with security! that's just nosy and really intrusive. that's why the low rating. the volunteer was nice tho

Cool accommodation in the dorm dome. Nice atmosphere and pretty quiet as it’s a little walk out of town. Angel was brilliant and sorted my night bus reservation when he realised I was just winging it.

Awesome accommodation. Really unique setup but super cool. Very clean and tidy in the dorm dome! Good facilities and quite social! The location is a little outside town but is a safe walk and very quiet. Highly recommended.

Lieu chaleureux et sympathique pour profiter de Puerto Lopez avec un super accueil de Angel qui peut vous trouver facilement des tours, taxi et autre. Facile d'accéder au centre de la ville à 1km. Les dômes sont supers agréables.Je recommande!

The neighbor has a pack of little dogs that will yip all night and your probably won’t be able to sleep unless you have earplugs. I like their kitchen because they have a blender.

really nice hostel. The domes are really nice with good air con and beds are super comfy. The kitchen has everything you need and there’s a really nice bar area to chill. I would definitely recommend this hostel.

Amazing, the domes are so cool and the whole vibe is lovely. Angel was amazing, helped me book a taxi for my early 4am bus and even offered me to wake him up when I took it so I'd feel safer. Such a beautiful site with beautiful vibes, highly recommend

Amazing dome dorms. Good wifi. Lovely location close to the beach and a short walk to town. On site bar. Staff helpful ordering tuktuks and providing information on bus timetables. Kitchen is small and gets quite busy in the evenings. Some of the beds in the main dorm are small doubles and some travellers were made to share beds with no discount offered. Be sure to stipulate the number of beds you require if you book for multiple people.

Very cool hostel, located right across from the ocean. It's a bit far out of town, and the big pod is a lot of people in a big old space. It's interesting for sure, but kinda the same as any other big hostel room to be honest. The A/C worked well, big plus, but it was kinda hard to keep the room from getting sandy (A hose over concrete would do wonders). Everyone who worked there was nice, and I'd probably stay again.

Air conditionné au rendez-vous, cuisine bien équipée et propre. Le jeune homme qui travaillait là était très gentil. L’expérience de dormir en yourt commune ou en tente semblait convenir à tout le monde dans les deux cas. Petite piscine qui fait du bien même si l’océan est à 2 pas. Un peu de marche pour les allers-retours en centre-ville, mais ça ne fait pas de mal. Il y a même un bar avec des cocktails très peu chers et de l’eau potable à disposition en permanence dans la c...
