  : Unfortunately, I didn't like anything at all. We didn't expect much because we just stopped here as a transit city for two nights, even though the price was a bit high, and were still disappointed. I am used to travel to hostels, both cheaper and more expensive, and this hostel was by far the worst one I ever visited, and I always liked every hostel before. I absolutely do not understand the positive reviews, especially about the volunteers.
  : The place seemed unfriendly, dirty and uncanny since the minutes we came but we didn't mind and gave it a chance. The volunteers seemed like they chose this opportunity just to live in a foreign country, disengaged with anything else but just their group of other Spanish speakers. The events were boring, 20 to be in a vague underground place. Lake visit that was 1hr away, great. We had so much fun just going to some pub on our own to meet the fun and friendly locals. A "party" hostel where the events ended at around 1am, with only volunteers continuing with their private party (for them finally). I hope the volunteers enjoy their summer but as a group of party travelers we think it was such a low quality experience there and always couldn't wait to go out and party on our own with the locals than in this dirty hostel with these boring and unfriendly volunteers. I highly recommend going for other hostels than this one, but as you can see people liked it here, so maybe it was just the few volunteers and events we visited.

  : Amazing backpacking community. Very friendly staff and lots of activities planned through the hostel
  : For me personally there are too many beds per room
