+ Me gustó la calidez de la dueña, todo en orden y muy tuanis.

- En general muy bien, pero se debería considerar hacer el piso de la bajada del baño.

+ Wunderschöne Aussicht und eine süsse, neugierige Katze :) Die Zimmer sind sehr basic und es gibt eine kleine Küche, die man aber mit Ameisen teilen muss. Die Besitzerin war sehr lieb und gab uns viele Infos zur An- und Weiterreise.

- Das WLAN hat nicht immer funktioniert und Handyempfang hatte man nur an bestimmten Stellen.

+ The location is just insane. This view does not disappoint. An evening in the hammock over looking playa Amarillo is really magical. Owner Laura is nice and accommodating. Kitchen is sufficient and very chill vibes. Can rent surfboards there.

- The power went out a few times for multiple hours at a time. This was because of the road being built along the coast and not much she could do about it but it was a little annoying especially having the fridge go off for multiple hours. No AC in the private rooms either so a little toasty at night but the bug nets are in good condition! Also a steep set of steps up to the hostel but worth it for the view ;)

+ Séjour incroyable a casa Médusa que nous avons décidé de prolonger… Laura est super accueillante et de bons conseils ! La vue est incroyable et l’hostel est super bien placé, vous avez tout ce qu’il vous faut à disposition (cuisine pratique, tapis de yoga, serviettes…) je reviendrai 1000 fois ici :)

+ Really good location to chill in the hammocks, paddock or just a stroll on the beach. Great mosquito nets on the beds. Nice kitchen to cook your own food, filtered water and a fridge. Small pulperia/super mercado 5 minutes away. Friendly cat Amarillo

- Would be nice to have a proper door on the bathroom in the dorm (currently just a curtain) but there is a second bathroom outside with a door (normally just for the private rooms)

+ La vue est exceptionnelle et le personnel très gentil

- Petit bémol pour le dortoir ou il faudrait une porte pour fermer la salle de bain et non un rideau ! Mais la magie du lieu mérite le 10/10

+ Very well located between the gigante beach and amarillo beach. There is a small kitchen that guests can use. Laura (the host) is very nice and available.

- The big terasse is private, so guests can only use the garden (owner should update the booking.com pictures 2 and 5, because the big terasse that you see is not available). There is not enough chairs to sit at the table if every guests wants to have dinner at the same time.

+ It was one of the best places of my whole journey. Rustic but imensely beaytifull spot on the top of tbe hill overlooking playa gigante on o e side and playa amarilla on the other. I loved the quietness the scenery, the atmosphere. Perfect for contemplation, reading, practicing yoga on the deck overlookung the beach, working (i assembled my perfect office sattion up there) and appreciate the sweetness of time. Two stunning beaches just down the hill you can go down for a plunge on your swimwear and back to work.

- The electricity sometimes goes out.

+ Location is great, up on a hill with great access to the isolated beach to the north (Playa Amarillo). Easy to walk into town, assuming that one can go up and down the steps.

+ Absolutely stunning location, overlooking Playa Amarillo (from a hammock if you wish!!). Amazing host Laura goes out of her way to assist with any questions, making you feel at home. The cleanest hostel I stayed at during my trip, including a great kitchen - and one of my favourite places and stays in Nic. I loved it so much that I returned at the end of my trip!! Highly recommend it :)
