Nice and clean hostel. ATM tours can be organized with them. The hostel was social due to the chill area. When I stayed there the temperatures outside were very high and the fan at the bed was not enough. I guess that's normally ok.

A really nice “classic” hostel. Not too big, the spaces are clean, and the kitchen is excellent. The layout makes it very easy to meet other travelers. If you’re there on Wednesday or Friday, there’s live music in the bar below the hostel. The ATM cave tour with the hostel is also great. You leave early, so you’re one of the first groups to enter the cave, which means the water is still nice and clear.

Nice and friendly owners. Great location, a few minutes away from the pedestrian street. Very cute terrace area. On the other hand, facilities can feel a bit run down and I'd say they have probably the worst ladder to climb up to the top bunk. Also, the main road of the country going from East to West goes right in front of the hostel, and it's uphill, so you're surrounded of a constant sound of engine revving

Really friendly and relaxed hostel. The staff are kind and helpful. I recommend the ATM tour offered by the hostel. The staff helped me figure out the cheapest way to get to my next destination. The rooms are clean and social. Loved staying here.

The only thing I didn’t like about this hostel was there was no curtains for privacy. And you have to take your shoes off at the door but understandable since a lot of people are doing the ATM tour and coming back drenched. Lovely cat. Even lovelier staff. Hammocks are a nice place to chill.

The staff is amazing, Thanks to Aldo & Davina. Perfect location, close to the center. Everyone is friendly, it feels like you rent a holiday house with a big group of friends. Space are super clean.

Nette Besitzer und schönes Haus. Mir fehlten etwas soziale Stimmung, Vorhänge an den Betten und eine schliessbare Tür zum dorm. Leider blieb immer ein Spat offen und jeder an der Rezeption konnte reinschauen. Auch die Katze fand ihren Weg einige Male auf meine Sachen. Gutes Tourangebot gibt es auch!

The hostel was nice overall, though the rooms could use some curtains and lockers. The deck on the back was perfect for relaxing and hanging out with other travelers. We literally could see so many birds, including two different types of toucans, as well as iguanas straight from the deck. There’s not a ton to do in San Ignacio without a car which some travelers found disappointing, and this is def not a party hostel, but we had a great time during our stay. The staff and owners are amazing als...

Great small hostel, would definitely recommend. Very chill vibe and has a great veranda and a balcony. Good location as well. I was in the 8-person dorm and my only slight annoyance was that my bed was situated right next to the window to the veranda, where at night people would smoke and play music which was not ideal, considering the window was always open. Loved the pets there though.

Im so happy I stayed at this hostel. It was clean, friendly, and very social. The downstairs showers were hot and had amazing water pressure. The rooms didnt have AC but they had fans that kept us cool. Under the hostel theres live music and a bar, and we attended a jazz concert. All shoes are taken off at the door so there arent any stinky feet smell in the dorms. Plenty of space to relax and socialize as well.
