    Bostel is far away from the town, and that's what makes it so magical. It's the most beautiful hostel I've ever stayed in, and there are a few outdoor spaces to enjoy the clouds and forest (including two hammocks near the restaurant). The restaurant on site is expensive, but worth it! If you want cheaper food options, a mototaxi into town is only 20 pesos. Staff are brilliant - so warm and helpful. I recommend doing a temazcal in town the night you arrive; book ahead. Oh - and no bedbugs!

    I really enjoyed my week long stay here.Loved the convenience of the restaurant and food shop on site. The fireplace in the common area was always freshly stocked with firewood. You can get your laundry done there as well. Everything you need is there. Plus the mirador overlooking the mountains about 5 minutes walking distance is breathtaking. However, both my friend I, plus another mate experienced bedbugs in our beds throughout our stay. I really hope something is done about it soon.

    Beautiful hostel, big windows, forest around, the restaurant nearby is very good too. When I arrived it felt like a dream, but then, I found a bedbug next to my pillow. The hostel didn’t want to pay me back my stay. I think it’s not correct. The staff : some are nice, some aren’t. Mixed feelings because the location and architecture of the hostel are crazy good

    I really liked the hostel, but found a 2 bed bugs in my bed. Social was amazing. The views were amazing and the hostel itself was so cute and relaxing.

    Very bad experience. Got bed bugs here. When filing a complaint my reservation got canceled, whilst I stayed. Very shady. I have pictures showing the bites, they “inspected” the bed but couldn’t find anything. No suitable handling of this incident. Need to have medical proof. They mentioned they never had something like this, whilst later I read in the reviews there have been cases before. More lies, don’t feel like wasting any other words words.

    The property is really nice on the surface and the location and views were highlights. The staff were very friendly and you can tell they have put a lot of thought into making the property a scenic place to stayz HOWEVER, one of our party woke up with severe bed bug bites. This definitely soured the mood a little. On top of that, the place was just a bit grimey on closer inspection. Dishes were left out with food rotting away in the kitchen and the communal living area smelt damp and unpleasant and we were
