Really great hostel with a super welcoming vibe. Big thanks to Tara, the manager, Stella, the social rep, and the lovely owner, who all made the stay so easy and fun. The beds were super comfy with privacy curtains, and the hostel was always very clean. There were lots of social events going on and a really homely vibe throughout. Would definitely recommend staying here.

L’emplacement de l’hostel est idéal, son prix attractif et les lits sont agréables. Mais accueil peu chaleureux du staff qui est incapable de nous dire le prix d’une nuit, et qu’on a du mal à voir dans la journée. Il faut attendre le soir et sa chicha quotidienne pour espérer le croiser. Le ménage n’est pas fait, le lit de la personne partie 2 jours avant nous, n’a pas été défait, les poubelles de toilettes sont pleines et des déchets traînent. Un peu l’impression que c...

Although season was already ending, they made our stay so nice and enjoyable. Everyday you were able to join activities (sunset,family dinner, ice bathing, partying), so it was always easy to meet people. The outside area was also really nice! Thanks for the stay!

The hostel offers activities every day, which we really enjoyed. It was also easy to connect with others. Unfortunately, we experienced an uncomfortable situation in the dorm at night due to a visitor who was not staying at the hostel but was sneaked into the room. So FYI, there is no one at the reception during the night.

Nice place to stay during your trip. The hostel organizes activities. The community feeling wasn't that great tho.

+ AC + security cameras + social events (beach day, paint and sip, pregame,…) + close to the beach + very clean - there are partys every night and due to that people come back late and it could get noisy ( because the door closes very loud and you can hear people talk outside) - mosque close by (call to pray at 4:30 through speakers)

I had a good stay at happy hammocks. Good social vibe, clean rooms and Nadia the rep was amazing, she brought the energy and was so onto it with planning activities, getting everyone involved and being super helpful with anything I needed when the staff weren’t around.
