"The hostel is located near the market, which makes the area feel unsafe at night. The staff and volunteers were inattentive. The rooms are very dark and overcrowded with too many beds, leaving little space to move around or store luggage. There is only a small window, which doesn’t provide enough natural light or ventilation. Although there are a few seating areas, they feel cramped and are furnished with unattractive furniture. I do not recommend this hostel."
"Lovely place. Maria is very welcoming and helpful. The garden goes a long way back through a nice patio area all the way down past the pool to the breakfast room. All very stylish as are the rooms. We were going to have the Junior suite (twin) but were offered a double at the front of the house and took that (although I wouldn’t recommend for light sleepers as there is road noise and people going in and out of the front door). Very good breakfast. FYI There is a house dog; a small thing that wanders around. Nothing too problematical (unless you have an alert/phobia) but it did bark quite often and there was dog mess by the pool a few times which wasn’t pleasant."
"The host was absolutely excellent, really nice even opening dining room for an early breakfast as we had a bus to catch to Santiago at the nearby terminal 5 minute walk. The walls are thin and we could here conversation from 2 different rooms. There is only liquid soap provided and 2 small ancient raggedy towels, so the high review score seems totally incorrect. "
