I’ve never been unable to stay the night at a hostel until this one. For one the road is so rocky + bumpy you must park at the very end of the street and walk your bags down. The place itself was disgusting but I would’ve roughed it out if my bed didn’t literally have dirt and dead bugs on top of the sheet + the mosquito net didn’t cover the whole mattress. Do not stay here.

This place is really special and is run with a lot of love and care – the breakfast Jafeth prepared was absolutely DELICIOUS and there was something different every day! The volunteers and people there were really amazing and made this trip so much better – I can’t recommend it highly enough! ;) + the cat there is the cutest!!

I absolutely loved my stay at Huellas! The host is the most kind man, giving great recommendations and makes an excellent breakfast. The place is charming, chill, rustic and authentic. It needs a little TLC, but the vibe was overall immaculate. You become close with the people working there, making it feel like a little family. I felt safe as a female solo traveler. Wish I could have stayed longer, would love to return one day!

Personalen var väldigt trevlig och gjorde god och personlig frukost dagligen! Boendet ligger lite i ” skogen ” så man behöver gå en bit men inte så långt. Rummen var helt okej, sängarna hade myggnät men det var lite smutsigt och mycket insekter både i rummen och badrummen. Fanns bra wifi och biljard!

The hostel owner is really lovely and helpful. The breakfast was tasty - we had eggs, bread & fruit. The hostels cat is so cute! The place is good vibes, it has a pool that is available for use at all times of the day. The rooms look like the photos. Just be aware there’s lots of bugs around, which is common for the area.

Running water rarely worked (didn’t get to shower). Huge spiders and insects everywhere. Great breakfast and mattresses however + the owner is very friendly. If you really want to experience the wildlife and see some cool insects you will enjoy it here, otherwise I wouldn’t recommend.

De hygiëne in de dorm room laat qua vuil op de grond en in de badkamer de wensen over. De matrassen zijn er oud, dun en doorgelegen, de slechtste matrassen wel tot nu toe voor mijzelf. De sfeer op de plek is met de vrijwilligers en het personeel verder erg goed, dit samen met de fijne groene tuin, chil plekken in de tuin en op de veranda en de gedeelde keuken maken het tot een ok plek. De plek kan op meerdere plekken wel wat onderhoud en opknappen gebruiken. Dat zou alles een stuk netter make...

bad place to go. not clean at all, not safe at all. nobody else was there when we were there and it seemed the hostel closed. the owner is nice when not drunk, which very rarely happens. some other friends of his are usually coming to the hostel to get drunk with him, which makes the atmosphere very weird I can not recommend this place

I never tend to write reviews, but I have been on this planet for 28 years and this is the worst place I have ever stepped foot in. For context I’ve also spent an evening in a police cell. The bathroom was constantly flooded and whole hostel was unclean. Upon my arrival at 3pm my bed had not been made and I had to make it myself at 8pm. There were no staff present and illegal substances were being consumed constantly. On a positive note, the bed in the private room was surprisingly comfy...

Kein Party Hostel aber nicer vibe und nice Anlage. Könnte nur sauberer sein.

It a hostel in the jungle, so you naturally have to deal with moskitos. Besides that it’s a very chill and relaxed hostel. Good place to stay and relax in the jungle for a couple of days.

Pretty good, although I got bedbugs. Also, we lost the key ( well they’re pretty sure we left it in the room ) then we also got charged for this. Shame because it’s a really nice spot

The staff and volunteers were wonderful, so welcoming and full of recommendations and information on the island - nothing was too much to ask! Surrounded by nature and full of wildlife a lovely place to relax and recharge. Big double bed in the dorm which was lovely, some of the facilities are under maintenance (the bar etc) but didn’t bother me. Overall a lovely peaceful place for those who love nature

we had a really nice time at huellas ! The staff is very welcoming and helpfull,they helped us for the moto and even keep our bags during one day more, thanks again to everyone ! The location is nice, near activities and kind of lost in the forest. They all work hard to make the stay at their place enjoyable !
