    Bathroom could be cleaned a little better.

    Location. It has a relax vibe and staff helpful. Also curtains with each bunk bed is great for a little privacy

    Bathroom was small and could do with more hooks to hang clothing etc. The room may need a bit of upkeep, for example the bed was comfortable but only one out of two of my plug sockets worked and the curtains were falling a part. Also bit weird the ladders weren't attached to beds and were almost shared amongst people on top bunks.

    Great communal space both indoor and outdoor with hammocks , so easy to socialise. Staff and the host were really friendly and helpful, actually make an effort to chat to you. Great kitchen with free herbs, spices salt etc - well equipped too. Room has large lockers which was good and bed was pretty comfy. Location is great, we would recommend this hostel. And can't forget to mention the lovely dog Midnight!

    Only slight issue was that the hostel is cash only which wasn't made clear but the staff gave us a couple of days to go to the ATM and take the pesos out. It wasn't an issue when we arrived but would have been helpful to know beforehand.

    The staff were really friendly and helpful. The location was brilliant and really close to the town centre. The shuttle bus from the airport also dropped us off outside the hostel! The hostel itself was really lovely and had a really community vibe- lots of seated areas outside with people chatting about the places they explored that day. . There were also good facilities inside for cooking and a dining table to eat at. The hostel also runs tours to different places around Pucon. We stayed for a week in a private room and I would definitely stay here again and recommend to friends.

    The dormitory was kind of small (as shown in the pictures)

    The staff was very nice and gave advice when needed. The backyard was perfect to spend some time to rest.

    The showers are a bit small for me and the water is either hot enough to hurt the devil himself or colder then my ex wife

    The beds were comfy, they have a great kitchen and common area! I would definitely stay again. Also they have the coolest dog ever named midnight 😁 definitely worth staying here just to pet him

    The shared bedroom has no windows. You got no keys, so you need to ring the bell every time you want to enter the hostel. I not experienced a great hostel vibe.

    Free cofee & tea, real big lockers. They have contacts for all kind of activities.

    No credit card payment. At the end they didn't even remember if they had received my payment or not which they did. But otherwise no complains.

    Good and chill feeling.

    Very cold room (the moveable heat fan made it bearable). Small room and extremly cold bathroom, but hot shower. No towels, even in the private double room with private bathroom, also no towels to rent since they were sold out when we were there

    Nice common area with a big table and some sofas. Big kitchen. Parking on the street

    The bedroom was a little bit small, but it's ok. The bathroom in the bedroom was small, and it took some time to heat, but there was a bathroom in the lobby that was big and pretty good 😁.

    The place was really good, big and, comfortable, and it was pretty cheap at the time, the price for 6 nights was the same as 3 nights in some other places. The staff was lovely. They had a cute dog. The kitchen, lobby and outside area were pretty spacious. The bed was comfortable.

    it was a little bit too loud at night, there is no time limit in the evening and most of the rooms lead to the patio.

    nice vibe and super cool people! there is a beautiful patio with hammocks outside and they have a cute hostel dog <3

    2p bedroom double beds was very hot and only had a small window. Showers were inconsistent hot cold. Bedlinen had a hole in it. I've seen a lot of hostels but wouldnt come back to this one.

    The hostel had a nice vibe, the 2p bedroom with personal bathroom looked fine. The dog was cute. Price compared to others in Pucon seems fair. Garden was nice.

    I came when it was raining. The room was leaking in water from the walls. The bortom lockers were soaking wet. The hot water ran out. Going from the lobby to the room has no roof. The curtain of the bed doesn't cover everything. Bed spring hurt my back.

    Staff was welcoming. Decoration was nice.
