    The noise from the planes landing... The night I stayed there, few people came home very late (4am) and talked/ate for a hour. I couldn't sleep well.

    It is just a few meters from a beach. The hosts are very nice. The place is great with a nice living room and lot of bathrooms.

    Not bad for me but: If you want a party hostel you are wrong here. It's a relaxed and respectful atmosphere and a beautiful place to stay if you are looking for that!

    Had a great time there! Came back few times already for a stop and it was the same experience each time. Staff is really nice and helpful and for this price you get a pretty sweet package. Some rate it as a bad thing, but to have the possibility, to sleep properly from 10pm on, can also be a privilege in a hostel. The kitchen is fully equipped with plenty of space in the fridges and also filtered tap water for drinking! As far as known they don't have breakfast but prepare coffe and tea in the morning for free. The condition of the facility was also well and got cleaned at least twice a day. Yes, some mattresses are slightly done but still ok.no Location is absolutely awesome and also everything is as it's advertised and shown on the pictures. And also it's not too far away from El Médano center... Check locations properly before you book something ;) Overall nice place and worth the money 🤗

    30 min from town with no public transport but taxi if needed. Beach nearby is black sand. Supermarket and restaurants in the town. The pool enclosure should be removed and place should invest in some sun loungers. Maybe even create a pool bar and increase profits. Never saw anyone using the pool, not everyone likes the beach so an area very underused.

    Staff very friendly, very clean. I had the opportunity to swop bunk bed from top to bottom and not an issue for them to do and change bedding.

    A little far our of the way if you don't have a car. Definitely hire a car!

    Juan was very friendly and welcoming, very pleasant house with good facilities. Large and clean room. Lots of storage space and comfy bed. A very windy but really beautiful beach and rocky hills to hike about a minute away.

    I did not use the swimming pool in the hostel. It was not very attractive, but why would I go into a pool, when a beautiful sea is at two minutes walking distance? Sometimes it was somewhat difficult to find a quiet spot in the hostel, outside in the garden or terrace, to sit, read and rest, especially when people were smoking on these places. But again, there was plenty of quiet and resting opportunity in the nearby nature.

    I really loved the quiet little natural beach. Especially the rocky hill, the climb, the view, and also the smaller beaches where you are mostly alone! The perfect spot for me to cocoon and rest and reload! The hostel had a very warm atmosphere. The shared kitchen en dining room were nice to meet other guests. The rooms are clean, nice that the beds have curtains. One room (first night) was rather small, but fine. The room where I was for the rest of my stay, had more space, which was nice. The staff was friendly and willing to help with anything. I loved the daily cleaning routine :).

    Well, I didn't realize, that it's quite far from the town. The big plus is that the walk is pleasant as it's by the coastline! :) I also think, that generally, when it comes to the interior someone could put a bit more heart into it (for example some small light on the terrace, or a bit more greenery.

    I think the best part of this hostel is the overall atmosphere - when the people working there make it feel comfortable, it's much easier to show your cool self! :) Very very cool vibe!

    The smell of towels rented was not pleasant. The bathroom should be cleen more often. At least bins should be empty frequently when full, not wait till is cleaning time. All three bathrooms should be renovated.

    Bed was comfortable. The location is very good. We met lovely people there. Vegan dinner for new year eve was super nice! Bedrooms are very small, especially 8 beds in one room, but privacy keeps it in and locers good size.

    Common areas get locked off at 10/11pm and only re-open at 8:30am which is good for the calm but if you have left clothes to dry for example, they are inaccessible. The temperature in the room was unbearable.

    Nice quiet location besides the occasional plane, right by the sea and nice beaches, spacious common areas, great rooftop, friendly staff, great taxi service! Privacy curtains around the beds in the dorms.
