    Best Hostel in Flores

    Some social activities organized by the hostel would‘ve been fun to meet people

    From what I‘ve heard definitely the best hostel in Flores. Rooms were one of the best ones I slept in and great wifi connection. Bathrooms were really clean as well and they had a roof terrace. Staff was really lovely, especially Sara was great!

    We absolutely loved it. The only thing to know is that tourists in Flores might wake up early to go on the Tikal tour (3-4 in the morning). So if you are a light sleeper we recommend to take a room and not a dorm.

    Rodrigo and his colleagues were the most welcoming people and amazing hosts ! We felt at home from the very beginning and they gave us great tips about Flores. We had great and funny conversations ! The view on the terrace is just amazing and they did well with decorating the place. They offer nice breakfasts on the terrace and the beds in the dorms are comfortable. It's the perfect place if you are looking for a well located, quiet place with great hosts who give you tips about Flores. We just loved it !

    It was all perfect.

    A really beautiful, clean hostel with super comfortable beds with two pillows! The staff here are incredibly kind and helpful and really went out of their way to ensure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. The terrace is absolutely amazing, you could sit and watch the world go by on the lake for days. The breakfast options and coffee are amazing and relatively cheap. The hostel offers a range of tours and shuttles. The rooms and bathrooms are incredibly clean and the hostel has a wonderful chilled and relaxed vibe. Could stay for a month.

    Honestly, I really have to think about this one. Would me more some ideas to make it even more amazing like some chill place ro hang like a hammock or a couch on the terrace. The breakfast was tasty, even tough the portions are quite small for the price.

    Really a great hostel in many ways. First off all, the staff is super kind and helpful, second the plays looks amazing, the warm showers were really nice, an extra pillow, even a little locker. The terrace has a great view over the water and everything is close by. So much is very good about tis place.

    Only thing that's a really smal negative point is that You can't use the kitchen until 11:30 as the stuff is preparing breakfast that you can buy but which is not that cheap but if you're not on a budget it's no big deal :)

    Perfect location with an awesome view, , super clean and big plus super nice and helpful stuff, never get tired of helping you out with any issue!

    The bed in the private room is very firm - which some people like (just not me). The chairs on the patio do scrape the ceiling in the room - but it always stopped by bed time so who cares!

    Amazing hostel! I can’t recommend this hostel enough! The property is beautiful, right on the water, and the staff is fabulous. So friendly and helpful. We also booked our Tikal trip through the front desk which was easy, excellent prices and seamless. The private room is beautiful with everything you need, and had lots of hot water (which we had lacked in many places we stayed before we arrived). Definitely stay at this hostel if you can!

    It wasn't a very social hostel, although they are planning to change this by creating a cocktail bar at the terrace. Once this is finished I am pretty sure the place will become more lively.

    Location, the terrace with a beautiful view on the lake. Breakfast was really nice as well. The staff was super friendly and helpful.

    When we had a private room downstairs you can hear tables and chairs being dragged quite loudly from upstairs sometimes - it’s not too bad / doesn’t go on too long but it was a little annoying

    This hostal is very chilled and quiet. It has gorgeous views over the lake. As well It was clean and the design made for a relaxing stay. The staff were really helpful and friendly too.

    The air-circulation in the dorm was a bit difficult because there was only a small window. With 6 people inside it got fast muggy. In the locker a tablet or a laptop would not fit in.

    6-bed-dorm was big enough to find place for the backpack and there were little lockers as well. Nice terrace to relax with a stunning view on the lake. The kitchen was really clean and the rooms and bathrooms as well.

    The shared shower felt like there's not enough privacy. The hostel is quite expensive for what you get, and the breakfast the place offers is very expensive.

    The hostel is located great,very close to the lake and restaurants. It has a beautiful balcony with a view to the lake which is very nice. The staff was very nice and helpful. The place had a great atmosphere and vibe. Clean.

    - when we were there, there was no social vibe at all. So I would not recommend it if you want to meet other people. - staff is nice and helpful but a bit distant towards the guests

    - very clean facilities - beautiful hostel, with nice terrace and lake view - kitchen had good equipment - bed was very comfy - great wifi, so you could also work here very well on the terrace (quite place)

    The location is so good. Just right in the Flores island. And the workers were so nice to help you everything. Most important thing is that you can find them almost all the time , even in the midnight.

    I have stayed three nights at the hostel. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The first dorm I was staying in was badly smelling like bleach or some cleaning stuff. So I requested to change the room without any problems. This room was good from the smell. The lockers are really really small. You can't look a back in or anything bigger than a wallet. Kitchen is well equipped only thing which is missing seasoning and some oil for cooking. Fresh water is supplied. WiFi works quite well. Air-conditioner works on and off. But this is a common problem.on the island because of the electricity. Hostel is quite modern and clean. Nice lookout over the lake.
