Super schönes Hostel, gut ausgestattete Küche, war in einem Doppelzimmer, leider keine AC aber hab trotzdem sehr gut geschlafen. Ambiente und vibe total schön, viel Platz, Fahrräder vor Ort. Perfekt

Die deutsche Managerin war echt etwas unangenehm, ein Freund kam uns im Hostel besuchen (er hat selbst 1 Nacht in dem Hostel geschlafen). Sie hatte ein Problem damit, dass er mit uns dort gekocht und gegessen hat, absolut daneben wie ich finde. Wir haben es mit vereinten Kräften durchgesetzt aber trotzdem echt unnötig.

The location is really good. Bike rental is at a good price and is a great way to explore the area. Staff is kind and helpful. The kitchen is big and very well equipped.

There is a lot of nice from traffic from the road. The internet is composed of a few networks and you have to keep switching between them. And in many areas of the hostel the signal is not good enough.

"Klein aber/und mit viel Liebe gemacht"

8.0

Für ein Hostel eine sehr gut ausgestattete und saubere Küche. Das Fahrradleihen war super, auch wenn es etwas teuer war mit 7$/Tag. Sie teilen auch jeden Morgen neue Aktivitäten in der WhatsApp-Gruppe und die Yoga-Class war auch super. Man merkt dass dort sehr viel Herzblut drin steckt. Auch viele Orte zum Chillen (Hängematte etc.)

Das Bad im AC-Dorm ist leider sehr schlecht belüftet (Schimmel) und generell roch das Zimmer manchmal nach Benzin?

O espaço é lindo, no meio da natureza, e uma ótima equipe de voluntários, sempre dispostos a ajudar. As atividades extra oferecidas e dicas locais enviadas diariamente no grupo foram top também!

Fiquei no quarto com pessoas extremamente bagunceiras e desrespeitosas com o espaço do outro. Mas isso não foi problema do hostel e sim dos hóspedes em questão.
