It was a lot further away from centre of town than I realised

I had room number 3 which only had three beds which was very good and roof terrace is nice

The people and the central location. Easy reach to busstation and the beach.

The staff was very nice and the people were awesome.

Water in the shower went cold really quick. Kitchen is closed 23:30-08:30 which is annoying when you just wanna get a snack in the morning. the hostel doesnt organize any social activities

Pretty chill, excellent location

Stayed in February 2025

But (for me) it's better to pay a little extra and find a more comfortable hostel, only one toilet for one floor, small bathroom, quality and cleanliness of equipment

Location is near the beach and city center, terrace When I was here it was really quiet and mutual respect not to disturb others The quality corresponds to the price,

There is no hot water in the showers. Also no possibility to take a normal shower because they weren't hanging on the wall. The beds were okay but the steps of the bunk beds where not comfortable to climb.

Location was great and staff were helpful and friendly. Very good vibe.

Man’s bathroom was grose, especially the showers. Everything else was fine

Stayed in December 2024

Not much room to get changed and cleaned up in the shower room. Would be nicer if the toilets weren't in the same place as the showers as well.

Staff were excellent throughout. Location is great, 5 mins to beach, cafes/bars on doorstep. Very secure, passcode to get in, lockers in rooms. Quiet after 10pm, so a decent night sleep. Showers good, kitchen facilities above expectation, and a huge rooftop to spend evenings out on.

I’ve stayed here before and the only issue I had was slipping down the stairs from the terrace during the night after rainfall. I was told that wouldn’t be an issue next time I stayed as the roof toilets were being renovated. The toilets have now been renovated, but they’re not available during the night so the problem remains. You should allow upstairs guests access to the upstairs toilets somehow. The stairs have no bannister halfway down and are very slippy when wet.

I like this hostel as the kitchen is kept clean and tidy, the common areas are frequently cleaned, the staff are lovely and helpful and the WiFi is strong enough for me to work all day in the remote working area.

Kitchen closes for the night

Very clean and friendly, great big roof top

For the duration of my stay I have not disliked anything at all about the property.

It was cheap and with a convenient location

I liked the area and the beach. Las canteras it´s the most for a city beach

Stayed in April 2024

It's a bit small but at the same time it's the value of that.

I like the most all the people I met there. It was a amazing experience... I felt young again 😜 the volunteers are amazing... Pablo, Alejandro, Samuel, Kevin, Ihintz.

Kitchen and terrace both shut early. Noisy people in my room, but not the hostel's fault.

Excellent cheaper place, just don't expect the Ritz. Has a roof terrace and a guitar.

A bit strange that facilities cannot be used after the checkout

Location, staff, the organisation of kitchen

Stayed in March 2024

Just a few little things. No mirror in room 5. No table to put things on if you were in an upper bunk (it’s rude to put things on other peoples lower beds) No wall hangers either - like I said, just little things. Not much room in the girls toilet and the only toilets were downstairs, which led to the ugly….. On my last morning I fell down the wet stairs early in the morning after it had rained. Totally ruined my next plans to hike in the mountains as I ended up at the hospital with tissue damage to my right foot. They really should have handrails on the lower section and make towels available to dry the stairs when they know rain is due. Despite having a great stay, this has probably ruined the rest of my holiday. I’m now in my next hostel in the mountains, unable to move my foot.

As with most hostels, there’s the good, the bad and the ugly. This hostel was very good in so many respects. I worked there for 8 hours a day for the first few days of my holiday with no WiFi issues at all. The kitchen was amazing! Incredibly well organised and with everything I could need. It really was the best I’ve stayed in and I’ll happily go back. Bedding was clean, decent towels were provided. The staff were wonderful and very helpful. The other guests were also very friendly, it seemed to foster that kind of environment. I really will be back despite the bad and the ugly.

one toilet more for the guys would be nice, especially in the morning. but this is not a total deal-breaker ;)

situated close to the beach and in general very centrally located, good equipped kitchen, nice roof top terrace and really nice and helpful staff

Stayed in March 2024

Can get noisy at night due to clubs and bars just downstairs.

I stayed here for the 2nd time during my travels on Canary Islands. Nice vibe and friendly staff and guests.

Stayed in February 2024

The upstairs terrace closes at 10, so for late-night social time you'll need to leave the hostel (not really a downside, just something you should be aware of).

Hostel staff were great and accomodated my request for a fan. The location is excellent - only a few mins walk from bars, resturants and (of course) the beach!

Stayed in February 2024

on top floor, room for guest, there should be fix window net, door, lockers, there are furniture which should renove, there should be new manager

nice top floor, strict rules for sleeping, good kitchen

Stayed in February 2024

Showers. No electric kettle in kitchen and you can't use hobs and oven at same time. Perhaps electrics need upgraded to sort this? Busker guy living in dorm who thinks its okay to spread light from his tablet despite his curtain arrangement. Maybe he will have left by now as a month ago. Dorm needed hoovered under the beds.

Well organised hostel as usual. Good dorms.Terrace.Supermarket nearby.

Stayed in February 2024

It's a mixed room so there are both men and women staying in the same hostel room. The bunks were clean enough (although I'm not sure how religiously they tend to bed bugs... I always have some doubts with hostels) but I was a bit disappointed with bed comfort; the mattress was thin.

It was less than a 10 minute walk to the beach, for me it was a good location and close to everything I needed.

I wanted to express my gratitude for the wonderful experience at Lua Lua Hostel. The volunteers were amazing, making my stay extra special with their enthusiasm and dedication. Kudos to the owners too – their commitment and helpfulness created a welcoming atmosphere. The location is perfect, and the cleanliness is top-notch. Lua Lua Hostel is more than just a place to stay; it's a friendly and vibrant community. I highly recommend it for a fantastic hostel experience. Thanks to everyone at Lua Lua Hostel for making my stay enjoyable.

Well you know you can't pick your roommates some are considerate and others are not.

I have been coming here for over 7 years early on it was a young people's party house and now the atmosphere is very calm and casual. I love it.

Very nice hostel. Easy to get to know other travelers. It's not too noisy. Possible to leave the luggage at the reception after check-out.
