  : The volunteers are very sweet and are doing a great job. They are friendly and nice.
  : The property is nice but super dirty, there was dust everywhere. I paid a lot of money for a place with broken lockers, so my laptop was not safe. The shared areas were very messy and dusty. The mattresses were completely destroyed and super uncomfortable, the room for 12 should keep max 8 people. The blankets were old and dirty, and the pillow was small, uncomfortable.Its not acceptable that an hostel makes people pay so much for such a low level of facilities The place has potential but its totally neglected by the owner

  : You have everything you need. Nice kitchen where you can find everything. Amazing people. 3 bathrooms. Really nice roof terrace. You can also use the washing machine for 4 euros extra. Really close to big supermarket
  : A lot of people in one room. The ones on the bottom bunkbeds had curtains, but not the ones on the top.

  : Atmosphere of place. Good choice if you want to socialise with other travellers
  : There are not many places you can get to without car incl beaches. But it's more a problem of island than hostel itself.

  : I've been to almost all the hostels on the island and this is BY FAR the one I enjoyed most. Largely thanks to the colorful, diverse and friendly bunch that it succeeds at attracting, and to the fantastic work of a team of volunteers (Mel, Santiago, Paulina, Sofia and Stella) who will go out of their way to make you feel immediately at home and take care of the premises and guests in a very professional way. The kitchen is well equipped and the design of the common areas encourages mingling among guests. The rooftop terrace is amazing! And so is the location, right at the center of the island, next to an extremely well-stocked supermarket, close to the bus stop and at walking distance from several trailheads heading into the national park.
  : The building is an old-fashioned traditional house which has its charm, however the hostel could use some renovation to further improve guests' experience. Some minor observations: squeaky floor (tried my best not to wake others up when coming in late at night or walking out early in the morning, yet every step was like an announcement hehe), and the doors of the dorm I stayed in wouldn't close properly (that would also help with heating efficiency so probably an investment worth making). The bunk beds are also a bit noisy and unstable to climb on. 2 of the 3 bathrooms available are reeeeeally small but they do the job. Areas for improvement for an already great hostel! Keep up the good work!
