Pros: good air conditioning in the bedrooms, good location, nice hammocks to lounge in. Cons: no free purified water (I had to buy it from the reception, what a joke) , kitchen was a little messy/dirty, pillow was very uncomfortable.

AC was great in the rooms. The whole place smelled quite a bit due to the stagnant water next door and the communal spaces were dark and uninviting.

L'hostel est très bien situé, le personnel est très gentil et prêt à vous aider. Il est situé à quelques minutes de distance de marche du centre, l'emplacement est vraiment super!

Personnel adorable et très aidant pour les activités, les transports et la vie du village. Très safe, l'emplacement est super car un peu en retrait du centre mais très proche à pied. La piscine est un plus pour se rafraichir. Les lits ne sont pas très confortables, les matelas très fins. Douches souvent bouchées ou très peu d'eau, eau semi-salée. Un peu cher pour l'hébergement proposé en dortoir.

Rooms were great, all had aircon going pretty much 24/7. Kitchen was good but small, bathrooms were really dirty all the time. Also was a clown/joker guy that would come into the hostel every other night was a bit uncomfortable to be around.

Nous avions d’abord réservé 4 nuits dans cet hostel puis nous avons fini par y rester 2 semaines. On s’est senties comme à la maison, avec les réceptionnistes qui étaient d’une gentillesse et d’une aide incroyable. Il nous manquent déjà !

Prima voor 2 nachtjes. El Tunco is totaal de moeite niet. Maar hier heb je nog iets van een zwembad. Al is die maar 2x 2,5 meter, zodat je toch nog wat afkoelt.

Personnel au top, emplacement aussi et la piscine est très agréable. De plus les clim dans les chambres font du bien au vue de la chaleur dehors ! Très propre également. Les espaces communs sont agréables. Petit bémol de la qualité de l'eau mais c'est comme ça dans tout le village ... manque d'une petite fontaine à eau dans l'hostel ... À part ce détail, je recommande !

Very kind staff. The rooms are quite old though, and I didn’t like them. No social activity The common living area and the kitchen are very good, but it’s the first time I’ve had to buy my own drinking water—I was really surprised.

Basic accommodation, lacking even simple things like somewhere to dry clothes. Entrance felt dirty with bins

Only spent one night there but it was a great stay. The hostal is a little off the center of El Tunco but it only takes 5 minutes to get there. Guy at the reception was helpful with my shuttle reservation (knowing the company and when it would more likely be there).

Es war okay, alles ein bisschen dreckig, die Duschen spritzten in alle Richtungen ausser nach unten und keine Handwaschmöglichkeiten in manchen Wc‘s. Trinkwasser zur Verfügung was sehr toll war!

Good social hostel with good chill area. Quiet area and short walk from the beach.

Nice hostel with a kitchen, great hammocks, and helpful staff. It's not right on the beach, but it's a quick walk away and the location means it's usually nice and quiet at night. The chill-out area is a great place to meet other travelers and go out and party elsewhere. My shuttle to Guatemala left at 3am, and it was great that the staff at the reception desk checked for me when the shuttle was coming and whether everything was going well. There are enough showers, but not all of were working.

Beaucoup de hamacs/bancs pour relaxer. Les dortoirs sont bien climatisés malgré la quantité de lits. Bon emplacement et les employés sont aimables! ++Géré par des Canadiens:)

The staff are by far the best part of this hostel, when i had an issue with another guest they sorted out the issue quickly. I felt safe enough but wouldn't be my first choice as a solo female traveller!

Decent enough but felt old and a bit unloved. Bit overpriced considering, and compared to other options.
