    Bed was a little hard.

    Love the hammocks. The access to a fridge and kitchen was nice to have cold drinks. Breakfast was good. Good food close by on the corner.

    There was a septic line near the room that dispelled a foul odor, not all the time and not extremely strong, but at times it was unpleasant. We spoke the host who received the observation well and said he would be correcting it.

    Friendly staff, clean room.

    If the hostel is full, the fridge is too small. Furthermore one shelf is used by the hostel. The owner should write a note " please ring the bell next house if nobody's there" for the welcoming or further informations about the lodge.

    Very calm location, super clean. Different breakfast every day. No music. Few rooms and a kitchen. Many thanks to Joaquin!

    At night there is nobody, but the owners live next door and you can ring the bell as theyre super helpful. Not the place is you wanna meet people or be in the middle of it all

    Beautiful room. Located in a peaceful area near Indiana Dormida, but quite a walk from the village. This makes it really local (loads of cheap local food around) and quiet. Great for hikes and meantime chill in the hammock.

    - only 1 bathroom, was not that much of an issue but I guess it depends on the other people staying there with you - you need to walk 15 min to the city center, which is also not that bad

    - breakfast was really nice and filling - good location for the India dormida hike - really friendly staff - hammocks to chill after hiking - kitchen to use (was equipped ok, everything necessary was there but no extra spices etc)

    The beds could be better, but I am still putting 10 stars.

    The location was great, had an awesome view of the mountains from the property. You can see the India Dormida and the Cariguana, which makes for amazing sunsets and sunrises. The place is VERY clean, and breakfast is included. The host is very nice and Carolina, another employee, attended to our needs with no problem (and cooks amazing breakfast!). I also liked that there was private parking, which made me and girlfriend feel safer.

    no hot water. lots of barking dogs (not on the property). very small “apartment” with no seating except the bed.

    owners are next door, only Spanish speaking but are very sweet and responsive.
