Affordable accommodation in a fairly remote area. Close to beaches and beautiful countryside. The accommodation was clean and comfortable and the staff very friendly.

8/10 Very good

This is a great low budget place to stay. It's absolutely gorgeous, located near cliffs and sea, and the staff is so nice. Unfortunately, it has only mixed dorms, and one of the other customers fully undressed in the common area, which was totally in appropriate, which is a huge downside.

I booked a female dorm bed and it was coed, told that that allowed for more people to stay. Not on the website, not great, and one guy kept me awake all night with his snoring. The host there wasn't very friendly, either. Thankfully, the guests there were fun.

better than average youth hostel

Stayed in a 10 bed dorm. It was surprisingly quiet. The common room was nice and typically had a wide variety of people. I tried two of their pre-frozen dinners, One was pretty good. Typically noisy in the kitchen in the AM. Only 2 toilets for 10 people but it seemed to work out. Make sure you bring a towel! They aren't supplied!
