Gava Hostel

Great Host and location…only stayed one night but 100% recommend. Definitely going back again in the future ✨

Awesome place to stay in punta cana! Would stay here again! Sadly had to cut my trip earlier than planned.

such a lovely hostel, Valentina and Andrey are kind and welcoming! I made friends and enjoyed my stay. the only downside is that it's cash only.

It was such a pleasure staying with this couple! They were very warm and welcoming. The location is a short walk from the beach and just around the corner from various establishments, and the space itself was clean and cozy. It's quite intimate as everything is on the ground level, and as a solo female traveler, I just warn women that you will likely be catcalled as you walk to and from the beach, but the hostel itself is gated and feels safe.

Soy Mexico y estuve un par de días en el hostel , me parecio muy limpio y tienes todo , playa a 2 min caminando , tiendas donde puedes comprar alimentos sin gastar mucho , restaurantes, farmacia , comida deliciosa. Definitivamente regresaría al hostel . Gracias Velentina ❤️eres muy agradable.

I had a lovely two nights at Gava Hostel. The owners, Valentina and Andrew, are very sweet people and always available for questions and concerns, via WhatsApp and in person. There is a camera monitoring the front door and it feels very safe. There is only one room with four bunk beds which is nice to get to know the other travellers. The lockers provide plenty of space for your valuables. Pro tip: Bring USD cash to pay for extra services (towel, late checkout, airport transfer, tours..)

Amazing time, super clean, clear rules, and good vibes!

Everything is great with this hostel! Sparkling clean, 3 minutes walk to the beach, secure, very easy and friendly communication. Just be aware that they charge extra (and it is not cheap) for leaving the bags. But understandable after you see how everything is at Europe prices in Punta Cana. Very much recommended!

Gostei bastante! Muito limpo, seguro e próximo a tudo. Dono do estabelecimento é muito prestativo e solicito! Voltaria !

One of the smallest hostels I’ve ever stayed in but the people I met there on my 8 day stay was just amazing!! From the hosts themselves to the solo travelers! Got really close to them and now made long distance friendships! Place was clean and close to the beach which i loved a lot! Made a lot of new faces on the excursions and beach as well. My experience there was top tier!! If I ever go back to the DR, I’ll be staying there again!! So I highly recommend this place

I LOVE THIS HOSTEL 💖 The hosts are AMAZING. So so so sweet. They welcomed me with open arms, made me feel so comfortable, and helped me figure out lots of logistics for my trip. They had great tips too. The space was very clean and the bed comfy. I felt very safe! I will be coming back! Thank you guys for being so warm and lovely. This was the best start to my trip. I miss you guys already!!

Such a great experience . Great people. They deal with customers with alot of love Thank u for ur kindness See u soon Ahmad

Andrew and Valentina are most gracious hosts. The accomodation is cozy but kept clean. The location is a few minutes walk to the beach and there is plenty of beach to walk up and down once you get there. There is a small grocery store nearby or you can pick from many different restaurants within walking distance. If you want to do something other than sit on the beach all day, they have trip options available to pick from. GAVA hostel is definitely worth considering.

The hostel is excellent, the hosts are very friendly and helpful.

Excelente servicio y atención.

Es un lugar muy limpio. Pase poco tiempo en el Hostel ya que de día estuve haciendo tours.

L'hébergement est sympa bien situé. La hote est très professionnelle,gentille et nous donnes des conseils pour le séjour. Cet hébergement est parfait pour les voyageurs qui cherchent le calme et la tranquillité. Attention il y a des règles à respecter ce qui te limite dans l'hébergement. Pour les personnes qui aime rencontrer,parler, discuter autour d'une table .. Je ne recommande pas . Sinon pour le reste je valide bien 👍 5 min de la plage . Au alentours des bars et restauran...

The host was great and kind. Property was clean and well maintained. However the heat was too much to bare and I couldn’t live there beyond one night. I was forced to book a hotel with air conditioning for myself. The fans provided were inadequate for the heat in the room, else I don’t have any other complaints.

Truly enjoyed my stay at GAVA! The facilities were always clean. Valentina is so kind and helpful. The hostel is a short walk from the beach, restaurants and stores. So much more affordable than the resorts.

Hostel is a bit small but it is pretty nice. Host is very friendly and is also an experienced traveller. This is probably the only hostel worth visiting in Punta Cana, in my opinion.
