Dedicated service

I stayed here 10 days and loved it. Very clean place with good breakfast. You choose the breakfast time and they are very flexible. There's a fridge, microwave and "plug-in pan" on the big shared balcony, as well as some seats and tables and a hammock, really nice for chilling out. The balcony to my own room was much smaller, but still nice to open up the door wide for fresh air and putting clothes out to dry. The owners also run a rafting business, and fitted a tour in for me at short notice. Another day they organised a massage therapist to come to the hostel for me - again with just a few hours notice. They also helped me book my PCR test and some other things I needed help with - always with a smile and good conversation. A lot more service than I would expect from a hostel. Shops are right around the corner, and some restaurants within 1-2 km. I spend most of my days walking/hiking around the area, which is absolutely stunning. A lot of sugarcane farms and I saw some big cat tracks. Because of the rafting business, it can sometimes be a little loud for a few minutes when they set off in the morning, but it's peaceful the rest of the day. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay.

Comme une auberge de jeunesse

Nous avons réservé une chambre avec 2 lits double avec balcon vue sur les montagnes. Notre chambre avait 1 lit double et 2 lits superposés, aucune fenêtre ni balcon, et le dessus de notre porte n'était pas fermé donc on entend tous les bruits de l'hotel et de la ruelle.. C'est plus comme une auberge de jeunesse. L'air commune est très bien, belle vue, hamacs, 2 balcons. En pleine ville.

Scammy and dangerous

They asked me for more money an hour before I got there. The stairs were missing a railing and my kid fell off and got to paralyzed pretty easily. Shower head had a built-in water heater and had an exposed wire going to it you could see the metal. Other than that it was great
