    What I liked the most about the hostel was the stunning view . This hostel is located right in front of the sea . Sleeping with the sound of the ocean it has been amazing. Also I have to say one of the best accomodation you can find in Cabo Polonio considering there's no many choices.

    The staff is so welcoming, kind and helpful! The atmosphere of the hostel is incredible. I came alone and met lots of great people here. We had a fire at night and there are beds to watch the stars outside and great places to hang out in the shade during the day and at night. Great kitchen. Overall amazing experience!!!

    In the early morning mosquitoes awakened us and hung around for about an hour before flying off through the screenless windows.

    Very cool relaxing vibe, friendly staff, nice breakfast, great location near the beach and not far from the transit terminal.

    Nothing!

    Cute wooden house on the beach. Cosy house feel. Sand at your doorstep. Short 100m walk to the north beach (almost see the ocean from your bedroom) and 500m walk to the south beach. Owner/managers are lovely and professional. The breakfast is amazing and well prepared. Softboard/wetsuit rental for surfing.

    The owner charged extra from the booking price and said its the paypal charging me for commission. The hostel is over priced. The rooms are very small and tight. One of the upper bunk beds didnt have a ladder. I didnt find the hostel sociable. Hardly any other travellers from other countries. I think Cabo is overrated.

    Staff were friendly. Mostly only locals.

    the hostel is very nice, but I can't say the same for our room. Even though we paid more for a private double room, the space was very tight. I couldn't even get around the bed. Also, lighting and thermal comfort was a big problem, from 7 am onwards (I went at the end of December) the room was completely bright and hot like a greenhouse. I honestly cannot recommend the private room, if I went again I would go for a shared room.

    The location was great with awesome staff. The breakfast was also well-served, with fruits, eggs, bread and drinks.

    Often tricky to find a member of staff. A bit more attention needed - for instance, often no toilet paper available.

    Great location right on the beach.

    There were only two showers for a lot of people, in a wooden construction, but maybe it’s part of the rustic style there; the water temperature could not be adjusted, it came out very hot; the kitchen and living room space is locked between 12pm and 8am - I couldn’t have breakfast on my last day, when I needed to catch the shuttle at 8am; the people who own the hostel used the common spaces also for themselves, so sometimes there was little space for the guests

    Very nice location right in front of the beach playa norte and also close to the terminal; style is like hippie chic; comfortable bed with a cosy blanket;
