In general, the place is super good, clean like few places we have seen, the pool is super good and the location is good if you rent a bike, 5 minutes from all points on the island.To keep in mind: they rent towels (which I don't think is true since it's not a super low-cost accommodation), the AC makes a super loud noise that doesn't allow you to sleep (I had to turn it off at night) and the walls are tiny, you listen to everything

We booked through Airbnb, located in the northern part of the island, perfect for watching the sunset. It has a simple, free breakfast (coffee, tea and toast with homemade pineapple jam). As for our room, we had to unplug the refrigerator because it was making a lot of noise. The shower is salt water, but it wasn't a problem for us. Friendly and attentive staff. To access the hostel, the road is dirt, a 3-minute walk (in case you go with suitcases). Otherwise we recommend it.

Not worth the priceNot clean, would be good place if they would take more care!Lady from the reception screamed nearly every day at people for different reasons. She took it personal if people had complaints or requests.With some changes it would be a good place

Pretty good. As there are shared toilets and showers, it is quite good.

This hotel was a complete disaster. We booked two rooms, but the manager claimed one was canceled and forced us to pay the same amount directly, even though it should’ve been cheaper without booking fees. It was clear she was trying to scam us. On top of that, she was incredibly rude, shouting at us the entire time.Bathroom terrible bad...You have to pay for a towel 50k.Avoid this place at all costs!

Wonderful. It has a pool and little courtyard garden. Free breakfast, though could be more extensive (however, it is a budget-friendly hostel, so I get it!) For what we paid, great great value! The premium room with private bathroom was excellent.

Filthy Showers and Disgusting RulesThe conditions at this hotel were appalling. The “barefoot” rule was disgusting, especially since the limited showers were often used by guests to pee in. The whole place was dirty, and the lack of basic hygiene made it unbearable. I would never recommend this place to anyone.On top of that, they charge you for the towels (not included) and for the milk for the morning coffe (although breakfast is included).Also, they manager is VERY RUDE! avoid this place. It takes out your positive energy

An ok budget option. Breakfast is white bread with butter and marmalade. If you want milk for coffee or tea you have to buy it. Pretty strong drain smell in the room. The pool is nice and clean. Nice to have a mini fridge in the room

Very clean and the rooms basic, air conditioning and fan, the beds clean and hard, clean pillows, the rooms are divided with wooden panels, if you are very exquisite, it might not work for you, we stayed 3 nights in August, the rooms didn't make any noise either. next door rooms.Very clean and good exterior facilities.I advise it
