    A lot of dead bees were all around. Hostel was small, not a lot to do

    Breakfast was good and location as well

    We had an awesome stay. The staff is super kind and friendly and helped us with every question we had. The breakfast was delicious and overall a really great and relaxed vibe. Highly recommend to stay here and also to book the waterfall tour with them. Thank you so much for everything!

    There's only one bathroom for all the guests which was quite annoying.

    Location is great, right in the centre and close to everything including the bus stop. The staff were great and very helpful. The free breakfast was a typical Salvadorian breakfast, but I asked them to make mine vegan by taking off the eggs and cheese (I had plantain, fruit, frijoles, bread, and diced tomato, plus orange juice and coffee). The courtyard is very cute to hang out in and eat breakfast. They also let me check in early at 10:30 and leave my bags there after checkout while I went out to explore.

    Only 1 shower/toilet for the whole hostel was a pain especially in the evening when everyone was using at the same time.

    Great location, right in the middle of town. Rooms were clean and beds were comfy, the fan in the room was enough to cool it down. Free breakfast was great and tasty, staff were friendly and kitchen facilities were ok. Not super social but if you’re in the dorm it’s easy to meet people as there isn’t a lot to do at night anyway

    One bathroom for many people, so waiting times were sometimes long. The top bed in the three person dorm was a bit difficult to get into without any ladder.

    Lovely staff, very helpful with everything and nice. Good breakfast. Walkable distance from everything in the town. The kitchen was good. Nice space outside to sit and relax.

    Unfortunately, only one bathroom for the entire hostel but we made it work.

    The hostel serves very delicious breakfast (fried plantanes!) and has a kitchen. The staff is super friendly and open to answer any sort of questions. I wad greeted at the door and always got a smile. Lovely garden area with comfy chairs and a hammock. Board games available as well.

    It isn't a hugely social hostel, but juayua isn't a party town nor is it what you go there for, just to manage expectations. Not a negative just a comment. Note: i was there mid-week so this could also be a factor.

    Location was perfect and central. Staff were so nice and very helpful - the main asset of the experience. I organised my waterfall tour from the hostel which was affordable and highly recommended. I was able to cook on one occasion which was nice. The breakfast was excellent. Comfy beds and common area. Overall highly recommend.

    We stayed in a triple room that was quite dark and crowded with furniture so it would’ve been very difficult with 3 people. There were no hooks so we had to hang our wet towels on the television. We did one laundry with them which was fast but not that great.

    Friendly and helpful staff, good breakfast (although there could be a bit of variety in it), lovely inner courtyard to hang out, fair kitchen to use. Feels like home.

    The street is very noisy starting very early and even at night there is a fair amount of very noisy traffic. Only one bathroom for all guests.

    Very helpful and friendly staff. Free purified water and a kitchen. Breakfast was very good and the place is set up to encourage socializing with a very nice patio and common area. I was very pleasantly surprised with the staff and general set up.

    Shame about the lack of Aircon. We did have a little fan but got a bit hot. Overall excellent value for money though.

    Cute little BnB type hostel. Super friendly staff. Great taco and pupusa joint opposite.
