Very charming hostel, very homey. You can see a lot of love went into the place. Lots of plants, a tiny waterfall. Had a private room with bath and A/C. The homemade dinner was very good. They provided us transportation to the airport at only $8 for the carload. Would stay here again in a minute.

my first experience at a hostel,

This little family hotel is awesome! They are so friendly, calming, attentive and honest. While the place is simple and basic the atmosphere is great and it is so clean and quiet. The wife is a good cook. She made us dinner and breakfast. Al tasty and since it was a family affair, ie, eating with others, it was a nice way to enter the country. Looking forward to one last night there on our way out of the country.

Hands down, the best hostel I've stayed at. They have created and maintain a welcoming and hospitable atmosphere that makes it easy to connect with other guests as well. They go out of their way to serve guests, they offer breakfast, dinner, a super convenient airport shuttle, are knowledgable and explain things well. Highly Recommend.
