Very Good

My first time staying in a hostel and it was amazing close to everything. Do not worry if you think you’re far from the beach or where the animals and the seals are you are one minute walk from everything the place is immaculately clean cleaned our room every day no matter what time we left the breakfast is the best awesome awesome awesome five stars all around.
Very friendly and efficient staff, very professional. Great rooms, AC, clean, great breakfast to get you going. Lots of good information available there. Super nice outside sitting/dining. Very reasonably priced lunch too! Great value for the money.
Cute hostel with really nice staff. The outdoor area is great to relax in the hammoks after a long day exploring. The owner was kind and gave us recommendations on what to do. The rooms were spacious with decent on-suites. The breakfast was really good and free water was a bonus! Good location only 5-10min walk to the main shop area. Would stay here again
Great hotel to stay. close to everything. Room is clean and big. Shower is great. Service is excellent. 9AM check out is a bit too early if you have a 1PM flight, but I checked in alot earlier, so it is a wash. Overall, an excellent place to stay on the island, highly recommended.
Basic hostel, reception not very welcoming or friendly…

There was person at reception during day hours, but if you arrive late, you preemptively can get their number and text or call for a $5 ride from Airport to Goshen. Staff very friendly and there is a filtered watering station in lobby. Our room had 2 beds and a private shower. Very clean. Nice pillows. No noise walls thick. Breakfast was good.
There is coffee bar and bakery a block away.
Yes, I would highly recommend
Very small. Barely had room for luggage in the room. Bed was hard as a rock. Bugs in the room. Hot water came in and out. Got charged for my 1yr olds breakfast because we didn’t put that we had a kid with us. I would not stay there again nor recommend it to anyone

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
Rummet och badrummet var ofräscha. Jättekonstiga dörrar till rummen som kundengåni baklås om man inte hade nyckeln i rätt läge. Liten frukost.
Los dueños son súper amables, los precios extraordinarios, incluye desayuno y es muy rico

Lugar bonito
Lo malo fue que antes de salir dejamos nuestras maletas y mochila de mi novio, y nos robaron los recuerdos que habiamos comprado nos sacaron las cosas de la mochila !!! lamentable
Really relaxed vibe, only a short walk to the beach and main hub of San Cristobal. Owner super friendly and although we didn’t use the kitchen as we only stayed a short time, it would be really handy for a longer trip.
Cheguei no hostel com a reserva confirmada, mas não havia disponibilidade. Tive que ir atrás de outra hospedagem e não consegui suporte do hostal, nem do hotéis.com. Decepcionada
Awful experience. The owner claimed to have not recieved my reservation and then lectured me on how lucky I was that he had a room that night. This is not a hostel but a cheap guest house that has very thin walls and was extremely noisy. Despite speaking minimal english, the owner was extremely condescending and I ended up leaving 2 nights early and he would not refund me the money. There are much better places to stay at on the island.
The owners gave me a difficult time when I wanted to rearrange my booking. They told me I had to pay for my entire stay when the cancellation policy stated I owed one nights fee for changing my reservation. Another person I had met at the hostel had to share his single room with another guest, yet was still made to pay full price.
