One of my favorite hostel. AC works great, kitchen is new and always clean and internet is really fast so it’s perfect for coworking space. The place feels like a home thanks to the volunteers, there are always fun social activities made by Victoria, Madi and also music with Fausto. Annie is the best, she’s always taking care of you and of the place and you can feel confident sharing anything and she will support you. There’s Salsa dance and Chess at the hostel with Annie.

Not a huge fan. Aircon kept going off in the night - couldn’t sleep because it was so hot. Very little atmosphere. Neither the front door nor the dorm room doors were locked - anyone could just walk in. Only security was lockers. Bathrooms were fine but there weren’t very many. One of the cheaper hostels for a reason but you get what you pay for

Cute hostel with a great location. The kitchen unfortunately is a little poor and most of the times the staff consists only of volunteers.

For me the best place to stay in la Punta. Its a small Hostel with a very good Vibe and the stuff is always so friendly and helpful. They offer free Bachata classes every wednesday, which i definitely recommend to join ;) will come back for sure!! ☺️

I love the hostel and kept extending my stay over and over again. It has a strong community vibe, and everyone really does their best to make you feel welcome. The kitchen is spacious and well equipped, the beds are comfy with curtains. The volunteers are super friendly and create such a nice atmosphere. They’re constantly improving the place with a real focus on guest comfort. If you need anything, they step in right away. Also loved their super sweet cat and the coffee place attached ...

Very close to the beach and the pedestrian street Dorm was fine but not properly cleaned A lot of dust and trash beliw the bed which isn’t nice as the person sleeping in the bottom bunk A lot of power outages while I was there. Seemed quite regular which makes it a shame that not at least the fridge is tied to a backup because this way ypu wouldn’t have to throw out spoiled food as often Kitchen itself very scarcely equipped in my opinion

Honestly didn’t like it at all. Was really dirty and the facilities need some work. Bathroom was very dirty and disgusting. The room was too.

Great hostal, definitely a social vibe. Not a lot of quiet spaces to take calls/work so definitely if that’s what you’re looking for go elsewhere. If you’re looking for an easy in to social events, dancing, climbing, partying, etc, this is your spot! Mixed room smelled kinda like boy stank so I moved to the girls room and it was lovely. The bed fairy lights are great in the evenings and the curtains make each bed it’s own little cave. AC is strong too! Was satisfied with the cleanliness ...

All the staff are so friendly and Miguel does such a good job with making everyone feel so welcome. The hostel was in the perfect spot and the main strip of La Punta and the beach are only a short walk, but the hostel is still far enough if you want a quiet night in. The cafe Casa Kooks is right next door/ attached to the hostel and has amazing coffee and matcha, we were there every morning. We stayed for 11 nights and still didn’t want to leave! Mia, Jolie and Amber 💗

Was only there for one night. Nice place and friendly staff but the indoor toilets were out of use so had to go outside every time. Once renovations are finished sure it’ll be a lush spot :)
