It was a really nice stay. I extended from three nights to six and would even liked to stay longer. really warm and welcoming atmosphere and the staff was really helpfull. But i would recomend to get a Dorm, because the beds in the "monkey area" are above the public place and so it can get loud sometimes

Boendet är beläget bra med bara någon minuts promenad till stranden! Det är fräscht och bra tryck i duschen samt frukost ingår - pannkaka och frukt! Sängarna är ganska sköna och bra AC på natten men på kvällen är det väldigt varmt. Rummet vi bodde i hade ingen dörr utan man klättrade upp för en stege, så det var väldigt lyhört och svårt att sova längre än till 07 då man hörde allt nerifrån!

I’m so glad I chose this hostel. For me every hostel has its special vibe and this one is exactly what I was looking for. Community centred, open minded, creative, clean, air conditioned and overall like home. Pablo is an amazing owner, very much felt like an old friend since day one. Hard to leave once you’re there. Pretty perfect.

I really liked the hostel itself. It's a bit rustic. Most of the mattresses are just on the floor. It's clean. The beds are clean. The kitchen is well-equipped. It only has 6 lockers for 20 people. The atmosphere is great. The rooms get freezing cold at night because of the air conditioning. i needed 3 blankets. but it depends with who you are in the room.

Wonderful hostel with great staff! Staff was really helpful in answering all questions. Nice outside area with chill vibe. The big dormitory is open but very clean and comfy. Would definitely come back

you are in a room all together. the aircon is just a fan and its kinda run down. i also had a problem checking in which was sorted in the end but maybe not the most organised place. breakfast was lovely and the dog is very sweet

booked it becuase I thought it was the cheapest with $11 - turns out on arrive that I had to pay $16 on top of the $3 I already paid on Hostelworld instead with the owner saying 'otherwise its hard for me to get out of bed in the morning' even tho it said $11 in total. The owner gave a weird vibe and so felt the reat of the people standing at that time. There is construction work going on on right in front of the hostel so alwqys loud and many workers around. Not tto recommend.

This hostel is fine if you're looking to save money—it includes breakfast, and the facilities are decent. However, the atmosphere is quite poor. Since the staff is made up entirely of volunteers, they tend to stick to their own closed groups. They never engage with guests or make any effort to include anyone. It feels like they’re there just to enjoy themselves, not to offer a good experience to others.I say this with some perspective, having worked in hostels for three years these volunteer...

Had a strange experience at this hostel, the vibes were very off. Lots of volunteers there who all seemed very rude, not a very social atmosphere. The room was not air conditioned as advertised so it was extremely warm. Also had to walk up and down a ladder to reach it. There were no mosquito nets and millions of mosquitos, if you are someone who values sleep I wouldn’t stay here. The kitchen was kind of small and always full, plus always a bit of a mess.Showers even had a window!

Nice hostel, super friendly and helpful staff & owner, would definitely come back. If you’re a light sleeper choose a private or 4 bed dorm (not 7 bed, it has no doors) had a great time!

Het is erg vervelend dat je overdag eigenlijk de airco niet aan mag, maar alleen tegen betaling de airco aan kan doen. Dit is absurt aangezien het in Santa Catalina extreem heet. Ook zijn de privekamers erg klein en warm. Tot slot waren de wc’s erg slecht onderhouden; ik sommige waren verstopt en werden niet gemaakt, andere wc’s hadden nooit wc papier en de handzeep is geen enkele keer aangevuld. Het stonk erg in de wc’s.

Not massively impressed, paid £40 per night to literally be in a shed where the AC was so loud we couldn’t sleep. Laundry cost $8 but you had to do it yourself and the volunteers seemed annoyed whenever you asked them for anything and couldn’t give any advice or recommendations for anything local. Generally weird vibe and the quality of the private room provided was really not appropriate, hence no pictures I suppose !

We had a really good time here! It’s a relaxing and just nice place to stay. Close to everything so you can just walk. Nice staff! Really good free breakfast also the lady that makes it is very kind. Would stay again!!

I had a good time at the hostel. However, when I arrived, it happened to be overbooked for that night so they put a mattress in the volunteer’s room for me to sleep on. It was okay though as they also gave me a discount. It’s pretty small but that makes for a nice social atmosphere.
