Rarely met an hostel so fun, caring, keen and genuine. The hostels is clean, rooms are ok, all beds have there own outlet. The kitchen is suppose to be the gathering place which is not that inviting. The hostels would be gaining to give more information on what to do on the island.

On the plus side the staff is polite and the beds are comfortable. Pretty much everything else was not so good. The bathrooms are dirty and small. Make sure you get a room with a/c because the ventilation sucks and it will get unbearably hot otherwise. The kitchen closes at 1030 for no apparent reason. The WiFi is iffy, drops out a lot.

Not too bad, but nothing out standing either... bathrooms are cramped, but water pressure and warm water in the showers. The big failings are the wifi, just weak and dropping in and out all the time, and the heat! The rooms need air co soooooo bad! Barely slept it's so freaking got in the rooms. Fans only do so much. No windows in rooms to catch some fresh ocean breeze, building walled in on both sides so it's like a concrete oven

Great vibe and lovely people, staff and guests are a nice and interesting mix, we loved it! The staff is very friendly, welcoming and helpful. Had to take a private room because the dorms were fully booked and it was very comfortable and good value. The kitchen is nice to cookand also the place to meet, would definitely come again! Clean, good wifi, nice atmosphere.. Loved this unique combination of people, highly recommended! Muchas gracias, que les vaya muy bien!

Nice tiny hostel in the center of the island, what would ask more? Helpful staff (Kelly from Brazil and Sara the owner were super friendly and helpful). Breakfast is good, for the price you pay, you can't pretend a 4* hotel buffet (so don't pay attention to this kind of comments). Everything is clean and the structure is close to all the main attractions, if not u can always rent a bike. If u want a cozy cheap place where to relax, that's what you need! Keep on doing a good job!

A sweet hostel. People are really nice both employees and guests. I got to know people there that I'm still in contact with. The hotel is close to the beach The rooms are super clean although everything is outdated but what can you expect from a hostel? The price was cheap and everything was within reach. In the end we stayed for another night

I stayed here for a month while taking a certification course on the island. It’s downtown, but on a pretty quiet street. I stayed in a 4 bunk dorm because I booked late. Normally I would have booked more private accommodation, but there were none left (AC and price were my main concern). Overall I enjoyed my stay on the island. This is my second time on the island and expect to return. Pros- Staff was nice and helpful, Location (close everything), free lockers ( I fit 2 cameras and a few other things in there), meeting people, price (cheapest last minute option I saw), basic breakfast. They upgraded women’s showers while I was there. Cons- WiFi was virtually nonexistent towards the end of my trip (connection worsened to the point I had to use my own data). Mosquitos tend to swarm the hammock are and the kitchen area (there was a hole in screen door). Waiting until 9pm for AC ( I wasn’t in tourist mode/out and about all day) I spent a lot of time at hostel after my class so I noticed the heat more. I wish breakfast had fresh fruit options.

First of all the fridge was broken and warm when I got there and that would mean it would get spoils or possible food poisoning. The owner had known about it but obviously didn't care about the guests and had done nothing. When I asked for a solution for the problem I was treated with disrespect and that I myself should go out to buy ice to put in their fridge!?? I of course didn't want to stay there anymore and then the Italian owner was talking behind your back behaving even more unprofessional. The only good person was the girl from Chile in reception. My recommendation is to stay in Poc na witch is an excellent hostel with yoga, works out, meditation and Spanish lessons included in the stay!

We stayed in the Hostel for one night in a private two bed room. The staff is really friendly, the room was clean, the kitchen as well and the location is very good. But, as you could expect for the cheapest accommodation possibility on the island, it is nothing luxurious or cozy. Our room smelled really bad (mixture of mold and chemicals), the toilets are a joke (tiny!) and the overall quality of the beds and linens and so on is simply not too good. But for travellers on a budget it's absolutely ok.
