"Cozy place. Perfect for solo travelers."

9.0

Unlike any other hostels. Here, they provide basic things that we can have at home. You can do the laundry and cook by yourself. Their host also treat guest with comfort foods.

Everything was good. But the location of this hostel quite hidden.

"Great value for money"

7.0

The value for money is the one of the reasons for the rating, breakfast is wonderful too. It was a real help as you’ll be doing excursions most days so it helps with timings. Staff were really friendly & helpful too, had a great stay in a collective hostel.

"Excellent"

8.0

La pulizia, la disponibilità dello staff, i servizi offerti come ad esempio l'organizzazione di escursioni sui vari isolotti. Buona anche la colazione, abbastanza varia e letti comodi per essere in un ostello. Connessione wifi perfettamente funzionante

Mi è piaciuto tutto, non ho avuto problemi di alcun tipo. Forse la zona in cui si trova l'ostello può mettere un po' in soggezione ma in realtà è sicurissima e non ho mai avuto problemi.
