    Very friendly

  • Engine customer Sep 2026

    I loved the fact that there was a sink in the dorm. This small little difference mattered so much. The restroom was always clean, and the outdoor area has enough space to be alone or join a crowd. One of the better hostels I’ve stayed in for sure!

    Staff were friendly and helpful. Rooms were tidy and clean. Liked the seating area to hangout The beds were a little squeaky when you move on bottom or top bunk.

    My partner and I had booked a private suite. Unfortunately, as soon as we got into bed that night, we noticed a bed bug right next to the pillow. Shortly afterward, we found another one on the chair. We were obviously very alarmed, especially since this happened around 1:00 a.m. We immediately went downstairs, showed the staff the videos we had taken, and explained that we had found bugs both on the bed and the chair. The staff were very understanding and told us that we were absolutely entitled to a refund. Finding another hotel at around 1:30 a.m. was extremely difficult, but luckily we were eventually able to find one. Unfortunately, my partner had already been bitten several times on one leg, so we went to a pharmacy and treated the bites as soon as it opened in morning. Aside from this experience, the room itself was actually nice for the price. If there had not been a bed bug issue, I probably would have considered it a great and affordable place to stay. Since this is a hostel with many different guests coming and going, I understand that there can always be some risk, even when booking a private suite. Still, finding bed bugs in the room was obviously a very stressful and disappointing experience.

    People were friendly, nice hot water for showers after an evening dip in the ocean. They have beach towels you can sign out. Pretty nice for the value!

    Clean, safe and close beach access.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Had an overall good experience, but was disappointed by the AI generated printouts in various locations, as the decor was otherwise warm and inviting. I do need to also mention that my phone charger was taken alongside another item, and while I was able to recover that item thankfully, the more valuable charger that was literally wrapped around it disappeared, which I find suspect. Otherwise good vibes, but could use better lockers also.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    I thought that the staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. It was obvious that they enjoyed their jobs. My only complaint is that the mattress could have been better, but I got used to it.

    Great location for a beach trip with the girls.
