I was met by helpful staff who guided me through a pleasant forecourt with a bar and pool to the reception. There you filled in papers and showed your passport, then the staff carried the bag into the accommodation and showed me where I would sleep. The room had three sets of bunk beds with curtains that you could pull. The staff were fantastically nice and helpful. And there was very nice fellowship both between guests and staff, but also between guests and guests. I traveled alone, but was always invited into the community and always had company when I ate if I wanted. In the rooms, the guests talked to each other, exchanged experiences and tips. I loved this place! The food was fantastic, beautiful and tasty.

This place has such an amazing atmosphere. The staff is incredibly friendly, and everyone is having such a good time everywhere, you literally don't need to leave the hostel to have fun. It is very close to the beach, which is not crowded at all. The free vegan dinners 3 days a week are also amazing, so was the karaoke night!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
