We had an en suite off th emain lounge, which was great except for the noise of the boiler at 4 a.m. Balancing that, we had a great time with freindly people (depends on the rest of the crowd as the next night was quiet) - Freddy is a great guy and so are the rest of the gang. Tip... More

Not a very nice stay, mostly because of the dreadful service provided. We were not treated as guests, and found the atmosphere of the place very unpleasant.

very welcoming- very clean spacious and extremely reasonably priced- we had a double ensuite with views over the mountains and front garden. You could go for a dorm- i had a quick nosey and they were more spacious than dorms i have experienced elsewhere. There are also tent options which looked better than a groundsheet on a floor as they... More

We arrived late without reservation and were offered a room in a separate, very nice two-storey house a few hundred meters away. This house only has two large rooms (the upper with balcony, the lower with direct access to garden and terrace) and is probably meant for long-term guests - but of course also great for only one night! normally...

I have stayed in backpackers all around the world. This is honestly the nicest I have seen so far. Only 5 years old, it is fresh and everything is still as new. Super clean, very accommodating and great facilities (even down to the best kitchen appliances I have seen)! A must try!

We paid for 2 nights in advance but only stayed for 1. It is the only place we stayed where the staff were disinterested and the room was dirty. The staff was unwelcoming when we arrived. The bathroom hadn't been cleaned and we had a dirty towel from the previous occupants. The final straw was when our daughter picked up... More

We stayed in the 'Luxury Tented Units' which consisted of two single beds in a canvas tent pitched on a raised wooden platform. The tent is not massive, a 4 man at best, but the sleep is very comfortable and at the price, pretty good value. The showers and toilets are basic but do the job and relatively clean depending...

Loved it here. Very beautiful place, helpful staff, spotless rooms. They have info on trips, but aren't pushy. The hostel is owned by the local community, so the profits stay in the local area, so another good reason to stay there!
