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

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

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

Great decorations
Staying in small hotels sometimes can feel crowded due to small rooms, but the decorations and large community spaces made it seem like home!

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.

Péssimo atendimento!
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 hostel with an obnoxious owner
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.
