The effort and pride the owner and volunteers put into this place really shows. I loved the way they make little gatherings for all the guests, it really makes a difference to the experience of travelling - especially for those of us travelling solo.

The hosts are amazing, kind people. Fatima comes round every day to clean and help the guests. She really cares about the guests a lot. The hostel is spacious, bright, clean and well equipped. There is a large common area with a kitchen and seating area. Such a great place to stay and meet other travelers. The hostel deserves it high rating.

Super clean, friendly vibe, and guests of all ages. Loved the kitchen, comfy bed, and perfect location. Lots of parking too — though I was here in November. Everything was easy and nice, would totally stay again!

This was the best hostel I’ve ever stayed in, the decor was simply beautiful and it had such a nice vibe. It was really well equipped and very clean. The staff were so friendly, especially Maria who was so warm, welcoming and helpful from the moment I arrived! Really good value for money, I couldn’t recommend this hostel more! I will definitely be back. Thanks again to Maria for her kindness and hospitality ❤️

Booked for one night and stayed three. Check the location on maps, before you book it ;) its a three km walk from the next bus stop, but the location is worth the little walk or just get a taxi. Martijn and Talea are great, one of the best hostels I ever stayed in. I'll be back.

The best party hostel you’ll find! Pub crawls every night run by the great young staff which includes entry to bars and drinks at some places. Breakfast of crepes cooked every morning by Mama and she doesn’t let anyone go hungry! Great location close to the waterfront and many of the main streets of the old town. Clean comfy beds and WCs. Had the best time there!

Probably the best hostel I’ve ever stayed at! Spacious and clean shared room and bathroom. Lovely terrace and shared living-room. Super well-furnished kitchen and mini-supermarket just down the road. A space to wash laundry and put your dirty shoes. In the terrace there was a little garden where you could take herbs to cook with, I loved that! Close to the Fisherman’s trail too.

the breakfast was much better than I actually expected, the staff was incredibly helpful and friendly, the hostel was clean and there was a kitchen you can use, even though it’s a youth hostel it was still calm and overall I would say it’s great value for money
