The pictures of the pool are very misleading, it’s more of a jacuzzi size rather than an actual pool. During our time here there was construction and it was very loud so it was hard to enjoy the communal areas. The place did not feel very clean, the floor in our hostel room was pretty dirty, the indoor communal area upstairs had an odd smell, it smelt damp, and of wet dog, not only that but the floor here was so dirty, it was carpeted and it did not look like it was ever vacuumed cleaned.

Ojalá que quiten a la argentina joven que anda de voluntaria, siempre trae una cara irritante y trata mal a los clientes, es una persona muy desagradable

Good location and friendly staff, however the rooms are in really bad conditions, not properly cleaned and in bad conditions (mold and other things). we had no hot water for our stay as it only works in sunny days.

Unfortunately hostel wasn’t clean. The breakfast was really average and the rooms were really hot and with no ac. Which means windows open and noisy and bugs coming into room and people get bit. Not the best vibe bunch of older people staying, most likely wouldn’t come back here.

Tuvimos una terrible experiencia con el hostel y más con el manager. Nos ofreció una habitación que no habíamos reservado, aluciendo que era mejor. Pasó que mientras estuvimos fuera, ordenó mover nuestras cosas personales de la peor manera y sin previo aviso a otra habitación. Sí sabíamos que haría eso, no hubiéramos aceptado la habitación inicial, pues en nuestras cosas dejamos dinero, tarjetas de crédito, etc. NO SE HOSPEDEN AQUÍ. Nunca reconoció el error. Aparte las habitacione...

Todo fue terrible, la atención por parte de la recepcionista fue horrible, nunca lavaron los baños y los usaban más de 20 personas, uno de los baños duro tapado 3 días y el olor era insoportable. El desayuno blastante deficiente, lleno de moscos, los cubiertos sucios. Lo único bueno es la ubicación pero hay mejores opciones. Las instalaciones son agradables pero la atención es pésima y el aseo inexistente, hace falta un buen administrador.

Deceptive Cost Per Day Advertisement. The rate is getting bunch of Junk fees that you learn only after you made reservation and paid deposit. I cannot comment on facility and cleanings as I never made to the hostel but could not cancel on day of arrival due to lock on my account after 72 advance deadline. I lost my passport and even airlines gave me breaks on ticket price due to unfortunate event but these people are callously indifferent to your situation just baseness, no humanity here at all.

Lieu très sale, odeur nauséabonde à cause des chiens, mauvais rapport qualité prix et photos mensongères. Je ne recommande pas.

No tuve una buena experiencia durante mi estadía, al llegar y preguntar si había cocina el chico del staff me dijo que si, por lo que decidí comprar algunos alimentos, posterior a eso, me dicen que era un error, por lo que mis compras se hecharon a perder. Y por otro lado, muy poca amabilidad de la señora del desayuno, me indicaron que el horario era a las 7:30 y al preguntarle a esa hora por cuánto tiempo tardaría, se notó un montón su molestia, ya que no estaba listo.

Great location, plenty to do, and a very social atmosphere! The staff is so helpful and sweet! My only complaint is that the rooms get hot during the day. Everything else was phenomenal!

Best hostel in Santo Domingo. Great vibe, perfect location within walking distance of restaurants, shops, colmados, and the malecón. Wonderful and attentive staff and host with a yummy breakfast included. We easily arranged tours with their help. This is the place to stay if you are visiting Santo Domingo.

I traveled to Santo Domingo last month with my 2 friends from Ireland. The owner, Chris, was extremely welcoming and friendly. He’s a very funny lad who’s down for a good laugh. We’ve stayed at many hostels around the world, but Island Life had the best all round vibe. The hostel is very aesthetic and clean, featuring a beautiful wooden oak bar with very cheap drinks, a nice swimming pool, and spacious rooms. Chris’s two volunteers, Max and Claudia, were also very friendly and helpful. T...

I just love this place! it was my third time staying here and I have never made even one single bad experience with this hostel! The staff member are super nice and welcoming and help you with all the questions you could have. The vibe is chill and social and the breakfast included in the price is very good aswell! Not to mention the perfect location right in the Colonial Zone!

es gibt leider keine Klimaanlage und die Ventilatoren in den Zimmern waren auch kaputt, so dass es sehr heiß wurde. Das Personal ist freundlich und die Zimmer sauber. Nur das WLAN funktioniert nicht immer und das Frühstück wäre ausbaufähig.

J’étais dans une chambre mixte de 4 personnes, je n’ai pas du tout aimé. La chambre était minuscule sans fenêtre ça faisait un peu prison. Les lits sont tout petits et il n’y a pas rideaux. La salle de bain commun n’est pas très propre, ce serait bien que le ménage soit fait plusieurs fois dans la journée. Sinon l’emplacement est très bien, on peut tout faire à pied. Le personnel est très sympa. Mais je ne recommande pas cet hostel.

Un Hostel con personal y ambiente increíble. Ideal si viajas solo. Ubicado en el centro de Las Terrenas, sin grandes lujos pero rodeado de naturaleza. Sin duda repetiría mi estadía.
