    The location is perfect, not in the centre but just 10 mn from walking distance.away.. The staff is very nice and helpful. The room is big enough, and clean. There is a roof top with an amazing view with access to a fridge and a kitchen. We went back twice within a week. We could have been back a third time if it wasn't full.

    The uphill walk at the end of the day...but the view totally makes up for it!

    Our room was very spacious, with a nice kitchen area, and the bathroom had a light over the mirror for doing makeup & hair - so rare! The staff, especially Anna, is super nice and very helpful. And the huge rooftop terrace has a panoramic view of the entire city and surrounding mountains.

    It was quiet but only a few minutes footwalk to the heart of the Centro. The owners (a family business) have been very kind, helpful and sweet. the rooftop view and the kitchen on the open rooftop was great. We made our breakfast there every morning and there is a possibility to make coffee in the room. We could refill our water bottles for free. We really enjoyed to stay at Yabahni. Thank you :)

    Not the best sound proof walls, and the door lock has a gap big enough that does require urgently fixing both for room climate and security reasons. They provide very cheap and good tours but ours didn't go exactly as plan as we ended up having half of the tour in Spanish and with a different group due to some bad organization (not sure if it was the tour or the hostel's fault, but honestly it's just a minor inconvenience for us given the cheap price). Everything else was great

    the terrace has one of the most beautiful views over the city. Extremely clean, they would make our bed and clean everyday, even hang some of our clothes for us. Overall nice staff.

    Really cool terasse there. However, no visitors are allowed, which I dont understand. I once brought a friend up into the room and they immeditely came by to know and say she needs to leave. They could be a bit more chill

    Nothing. All around a good experience.

    Warm feeling. Very organized and well maintained. Lots of small nice details for a "hostal". Appreciated the reverse osmosis water fountain to refill bottles. Much closer to Centro than others in the reviews mentioned - I think if the "hill" there is a problem, then you probably have other issues to deal with. For us it was very convenient.

    It’s not a bungalow as far as I’m concerned. It’s an apartment with a kitchenette. The room was boiling hot and the ceiling fan did nothing. I asked for an electric fan which they happily provided me. It helped a bit but was super noisy. Also, there were no curtains over the back door so a lot of light came in, in the morning. Sadly I didn’t sleep at all well because of the heat/light. The location is uphill from town so just be aware of that. I would have liked a kettle on the room.

    The staff were great and the beds/bedding was amazing. I loved the washing line out the back.

    Definitely didn’t seem like a hostel where you meet other travelers.

    Cute and very clean little hostel. Friendly staff members. I felt safe as there was always someone around at the reception when I stayed there. And it was very quiet (I barely even saw other guests). The neighborhood is within walking distance of the main points of interest in town.

    Lovely little property with very friendly staff. Simple but everything we needed and a good shower and mattress. Felt very safe, got good recommendations from the staff, lovely little puppy trotting around, great views from the roof, short walk from the centre and the white tent on top of the hill.
