"Great hostel, right on the lava. Really enjoyed my stay there, thank you Open Gate"

10.0

True hostel vibe. Room, kitchen, everything was great. Very friendly staff!

You need a car to get there, well, you need it anyway to travel around this island.

"Es ist sehr herzlich und familiär."

10.0

Es klingt wohl etwas übertrieben, aber genau so haben wir uns das vorgestellt. Ein schönes kleines Zimmer im Mitten von Nirgendwo. Auf einem alten Lavafeld... echt bitte... da kann man zur Küste an Steilküsten latschen. Ein echtes Abenteuer! Die Leitung hat uns extrem viel Zeit genommen und alle Fragen beantwortet und extrem viele Tips gegeben. Außerdem ist sie aus Hamburg :D Und es gab jeden morgen frische Pancakes. Dazu gab es am Wochenende noch leckere Pizza zum guten Preis. Hammer gut! Und dazu der kleine Hauskater "Mirka" der sich dann und wann einen kleinen Knuddler abholt.

Es hätte eigentlich gar nichts besser sein können. Es ist halt kein Hotel oder so. Eine kleine Community im Mitten von Nirgendwo. Aber total herzlich.

"calm an relaxed"

10.0

They had a simple free breakfast (waffles and coffee). The staff was so friendly even and recommended a few awesome spots we should see (I never would have went if she had not told me about them and they ended up being highlights of my trip). The view was nice, the lounging are was very accommodating and they even had a TV. I really loved that everything was so friendly! :)

the last road to get there was unpaved so you have to drive very carefully. everything is within close distance (but only as long as you have a car)

Marissa è gentilissima ed estremamente disponibile per qualsiasi cosa. L'ostello è pulito e i letti molto comodi. Guardare le stelle dalla torretta è fantastico e il silenzio impagabile.
