It can use some deep cleaning, the yard smells like urine (probably because of dog) and there was a poop in terrace

Nice guy working there, free filtered water, kitchen was well equiped

Was not clean.

The owner was a very good and relaxed person. He genuinely wanted to make sure guests are comfortable. Location was very good. Cost effective.

I was most of the time in the malecon so it was 35 min walk or 10 mins by bus which is not too bad. At night time you will have to rely on taxi or uber.

Host is pretty relaxed and helpful. I sleeped well. The place was quite and far from the busy area which in my case was good to have a good night sleep.

It could definitely do with being quite a bit cleaner, although Marco says he is going to employ a cleaner soon. Hopefully he will do this sooner rather than later, because at the moment, I think how clean it is depends on how good the current volunteers are (and he has 3 brilliant ones at the moment). It all needs a bit of tlc, but I think he is planning on painting a few things and making it look good again. The beds could easily have privacy curtains added to them, and there definitely needs to be more power outlets/extension leads in the dorm. My pillow had split open and the stuffing was coming out, but the other one that was spare was incredibly stained. The fitted sheet for my mattress was fully ripped open on two corners, so the sheets and pillows could do with replacing.

Marco and his dog are really lovely hosts. The sheets are clean and smell good. The hostel is only a few blocks from a pretty quiet beach in the hostel zone, and there are some excellent local and more touristy restaurants really nearby. Whilst I was there, Marco was busy adding furniture to the common areas, and making it even more comfortable and suitable for meeting other backpackers. The bed in the female dorm is comfortable, and has its own fan. I had a great time here, but I can see how much potential the hostel has with a bit of sprucing up and extra cleaning.

Marco is great! Nice guy. Full of all the answers to the questions I had. Grateful for his kindness. Quiet location. Not in the middle of the busy city center but easy to access from local buses and everything you need is just a few steps away. Can recommend!

I wish there was a designated smoker’s area away from the kitchen and main hangout place. There was a chain smoker staying there and every time he lit one I felt the need to move. I avoided the hammock anytime he was down there and wished I could have chilled without breathing in that crap. That’s all :)

Sweet and super affordable hostel. The guy who runs it is really nice, helpful, and accommodating. The kitchen had everything I needed. Beds could have been more comfortable in the dorm but had a fan for my bed and had good sleeps. Good location right beside the beach and a main bus stop right beside it as well. Access to a roof top was a good place to watch the sunrise and do some yoga!

There's no pool :D which is okay, just confusing. The toilets were often clogged, and it could have been a little cleaner, but that's just my OCD potentially - AND I've definitely seen lots worse. And like I said, Marco is always happy to fix/help out/accommodate whatever need anyone has, which makes up for everything.

Marco is a great host, very friendly, up for a good chat and always happy to help. The rooftop has a beautiful view and the kitchen is well equipped. Plus, Vikingo is a hero.

I didn't like the bathroom

It's a good hostel

There is noise from the streets in the evening and early in the morning, so bring earplugs, if you're a light sleeper.

If you like a bohemian vibe and are traveling on a budget, then this is the perfect place. I stayed in a female dormitory with 4 bunk beds, but the room was very spacious and not stuffy at all - I liked it. The owner and his dog are very friendly, relaxed, and easygoing.

I was in the women’s dorm and the dogs across the street bark at times and you need some good ear plugs to sleep with some cars driving on stones streets.

Female dorm room is spacious with natural light and fresh air, there are fans for each bed and electrical sockets to charge your cel phone, the beds are very comfortable. Extremely spacious and relaxing outdoor spaces/terraces where you can sit and enjoy your morning coffee or chat with other travellers The hostel is quiet and peaceful yet close to many bars, restaurants and cafes and is a 5 minute walk to the nearest beach. Vikingo (the hostel dog) is just so sweet and adorable. I loved staying at this hostel.

It was a bit of a hike to the old town and the main beach strip, but it was not too bad. However, it is still very close to the ocean so you can walk along the beach for 20 mins or so to reach the boardwalk.

Everything about this place was so unbelievably chill. The owner and his dog are super relaxed and helpful. It felt very authentic with all amenities you would need. Would highly recommend to any solo travelers.
