The place is renovated. Everything looks nice and shiny. Location is good. It’s on the island, so everywhere is five minutes away from where you are. When you wake up you can have some tea and coffee. If you have any questions or need some help, Jesus is there to help you. Thank you for everything.

If I could give this hostel 11/10, I would! This is one of the best hostels I’ve visited so far. It’s clean, organized, and beautifully designed, with free coffee and tea. The beds are incredibly comfortable. The location is perfect—close to the main area but tucked away on a calm street with a stunning view. And how could I forget the staff? They are more than just nice—they’re helpful, friendly, and truly amazing. Overall, it was an incredible stay, and I only wish I could have stayed longer!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Beds were comfy, the common area/restaurant is a great opportunity to meet people. The staff is international and very social and accommodating. The owner hosts weekly events like movie nights or bbq, even though it’s a social hostel it wasn’t loud at night. When i first arrived i was handed a towel and allowed to shower, even though I arrived way before my check-in. Daily cleaning of the dorms. Perfect hostel for backpackers or anyone who wants to meet new people!

    The owners as so lovely and so helpful. Beds were comfortable and clean and private. Facilities were great. Free tea and coffee and a fridge. Lovely little balcony area and in a great location, close to everything. Everything about this hostel is perfect. Safe and secure too with key fobs to enter the room.

    Best Hostel, a bit far from the Main City but you need a scooter anyway so it’s totally fine. Close to really nice beaches, Tanote Beach was my fav. The staff is fantastic and you can have fun nights playing Deisha-Thai-Pool, getting professional bamboo tattoos and have good&cheap cocktails or some weed (or both :D)!! The View is epic, you can see the whole Island and shouldn’t miss it. It’s often booked out (book early!) so there are always many people. Will definitely come back some day!
