+ The only good thing about this place is the location.

- This place is sketchy and dirty looking. I've found out by locals it has a history of homophobia. There's one person at the desk to help 20 people checking in. Awful and rude, they just kept me waiting and waiting. I did not stay there.

- La verdad la peor reservación que he hecho. Desde que entré al lugar me sentí insegura, muy oscuro. No pasé la noche ahí, y no me quisieron devolver nada del dinero que pagué, tuve que irme a otro hostel y perder el dinero. Para guardar tus cosas hay unos lockers en el piso, lleno de bichos; realmente las fotos que tienen en internet no es la realidad del lugar, no puedo hacer mayor reclamo porque realmente es muy barato, pero creo que deberían hacer mejoras. Por lo demás, cuando intenté cancelar, la mujer que trabaja ahí ni siquiera me miró a la cara para decirme que no era su problema, realmente un poco más de simpatía al menos hubiese sido consuelo. No lo recomiendo.

+ Amplios espacios comunes abiertos. Aire acondicionado en habitación.

- Estaba muy sucio, especialmente la cocina y los baños. No había agua caliente en las duchas. La cocina no estaba equipada (NO HABÍA CUBIERTOS para comer, las ollas y los pocos utensilios que había estaban rotos y viejos, no había espacio suficiente para cocinar ni guardar los alimentos debido a la gran cantidad de personas alojadas,etc.). Yo había reservado una cama en habitación compartida femenina. Fue una experiencia espantosa, a tal punto que solicité cambio a otra habitación. Era un cuarto sin ningún tipo de ventilación, aislado en un edificio separado, extremadamente estrecho y sucio. La sensación que producía era claustrofóbica.

+ The amount charged for one night was unusually high and I didn't stay there but didn't return the keys to the room. I brought them today and they told me to pay for the 3 days I had the keys.

+ The hostel was right at the beach, close to the center and there was a little supermarket across the street

- Very big hostel, with dorms, tents and hammocks. Staff is not friendly. We had cockroaches in our dorm. No hot water. And only a few showers. With no hooks to hang your towel or clothes. There are no outlets to charge your phone in the dorm. We also had rain the entire stay, so my guess is with better weather it is much nicer to be here. Kitchen is way too small for the amount of people. And very dirty No room in the fridge. You have to give your key to recpeption in order to get a fork. Kitchen locks up at 9pm. So after that you can’t get your stuff from the fridge. Beds are super oncomfortabel, tiny matress on a stone floor. Bad pillows. Lockers were super loud. So everyone in the dorm will wake up when you use them. I would not stay here again because facillities were awful. Also the vibe was not it. Only hippies

+ The beach right off the hotel was great. The mosaics all through the place are spectacular. It's really a spot for young people.

- The music pounding 'til 1:30am was horrible. The double tent was a small affair with a poor double bed.

+ Clean, comfortable, open, natural

- The staff were discriminatory and nasty. The manager was bias and did not allow me to stay as a paying customer because of the time i sleep on the beach behind the hostal when i didn’t have the money and still came inside to charge my phone the next day. I was not met with kindness or decency.

+ The guy at the reception was nice and helpful

- Not my vibe. Not only dorms but so many tents a lot of people and not that many facilities. Felt more like a festival terrain then a hostel!
