Great hostel! Had such a cozy, social vibe. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Convenient location. Lots of info about tours and transport and stuff to do in the area. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay here.

such a lovely hostel!! private room was great value - it even had a little balcony ☺️ the hostel is in a great location with really nice views of Juayua. it’s easy to arrange activities from the hostel and just wander about. the staff were really nice. i gave 4/5 for facilities because there are only 2 toilets (to my knowledge) but everything else was perfect a great local restaurant nearby you should go to if you stay called something like ricon verde…

Loved my stay, always very clean. The only issue is they threw away my food in the fridge even though I labeled it as requested.

Great hostel! Carolina is so sweet and helpful. I loved how spacious the place feels, especially the bathrooms :) Great WiFi. Nice views. Close to center of town and to the bus stop. Loved the seven waterfall hike. Also good vibes, met some great people here.

Mais quel beau séjour à Samay! Je me suis sentie chez moi et j'ai enfin pu relaxer dès que j'ai mis les pieds à l'intérieur. C'est grand, propre et bien emménagé!! Il y a de grandes fenêtres, sans parler de la vue sur la terrasse en haut! Les lits sont confortables et très grands; beaucoup d'espace (chambre à 6), plein d'endroits ou poser nos choses, en plus d'avoir notre propre salle de bain. L'ambiance est chaleureuse; tout le monde se parle!! Aucun commentaire moindrement négatif ...

J’ai adoré mon séjour à Samay! Dès que j’ai mis un pied dans l’auberge je me suis sentie comme à la maison, c’est rare et ça fait plaisir. Les espaces sont très propres, les lits sont grands et confortables, la cuisine est parfaite pour cuisiner, les gens qui y travaillent sont adorables et la terrasse a une magnifique vue sur le volcan. J’ai adoré mon séjour à Samay et si j’avais pu prolonger je l’aurai fait! Je recommande donc à 100%

I love this hostel. It’s so cute and the staff are really friendly. Double bed bunk beds in the dorms - amazing!! I’d actually recommend the 6 bed dorm over the 4 bed as it’s got more space and feels nice and light and more fresh air. Scooter rental was great - good quality scooter.

Fantastic family-run hostel. Really friendly and helpful team who truly wanted to help you have the best stay (eg renting mopeds etc). Lovely communal kitchen and the terrace had the best sunrise & sunset views! Booking the 7 Waterfalls tour through the hostel was AMAZING and a great way to make friends. 3 nights wasn’t enough, we wish we could’ve stayed longer as it was so fun and relaxing.

This place is awesome! I genuinely cannot recommend this place enough because the staff is so amazing. In my four months of travel this hostel has the friendliest staff. Very homey feeling and very clean. The man at the front desk even had his mom fix my shorts to make them smaller since they were too big on me free of charge. They are amazing. Please stay here

My favourite hostel in all of El Salvador and probably one of the best I've ever stayed at! Beautiful, spacious, VERY CLEAN, lovely staff, quiet location. Bright, clean kitchen; comfy double bed bunks in my dorm; clean bathrooms; and a great vibe with the other backpackers who were staying there. Did the 7 Waterfalls tour through them with Antonio - excellent! 100% recommend this hostel if you are a kind, chill, friendly person who appreciates a clean & tranquilo space. Muchas gracias a todos ...

Lovely hostel, with a nice rooftop from where you have a good view over the town and the volcanos. The hostel also provides good tours to the waterfalls and scooters to rent. Would definitely recommend it.

Een lekker schoon en rustig hostel, net iets buiten het centrum van Juayua. Het personeel was enorm vriendelijk; ze hebben zelfs een voorraadhok leeggehaald, gordijnen opgehangen en een ventilator geregeld, omdat ik anders geen plek had om te slapen.

Samai Hostel was honestly the best hostel I stayed at in El Salvador and truly made my trip. It’s extremely clean, comfortable, and beautifully designed. The dining terrace is perfect, and the rooftop offers stunning sunrise and sunset views of the church. They provide incredibly helpful info with QR codes and Google Maps for the area and beyond. Special mention to Ariel, who took such kind care of me when I was sick. Amazing vibes, amazing service — I’d come back in a heartbeat and stay l...
