Ubicación perfecta, buena relación calidad precio, y su personal muy amable y dispuesto a ayudar. Alquilan motos también. No es un resort pero para el precio que es ,está súper bien.
No tiene agua caliente
The hostel room was good with AC and was clean! Great lounge space. Go for the staff, they are the best. I made great memories with them <3
I like the location, staff. The owner is friendly and accommodating.
The bed is not that comfortable.
The property was good, a small communal area for guests as well as a small shop for drinks and snacks. Couples room was good. Staff on reception always say hello, good morning and very friendly
Lacked hot water and current power outage from hours 4am - 12pm. This was a town issue I believe so not marked the property down but was not given prior warning to arrival
Lovely, friendly staff & I liked the style of the beds
Quite hot
Personnel tres chaleureux, etablissement tres propose. Il y a un vrai coin pour se poser tranquillement. Plusieurs douches et toilettes a disposition. Petit bar avec biere/eau/jus etc.. Tres bien situé, seulement quelques minutes du centre a pied. Lieux calme
Pas beaucoup de pression dans les douches et pas d'eau chaude. Attention aux personnes clostro. Les lits en dortoirs sont assez fermés, souvent chaud la nuit
Great location, quiet but close to centre Nice communal area, great vibes Drinking water available Beds had curtains and were comfortable
Small rooms, not much space
Calme personnel gentil rapport qualité prix ok
Pas d’eau chaude pas de rangement pour les affaires
Simpel aber gut
Das Wasser der Dusche im Badezimmer läuft schlecht ab, daher bleibt der Boden ständig nass.
Great experience ! A very warm welcome from the moment we arrived, spotlessly clean premises, and a competent, professional staff. The place is very calm, which makes the stay even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this hotel. And a special mention for their coffee, which is absolutely exceptional !
Receptionist was kind, beds were fine
ZERO soundproofing combined with inconsiderate guests, and hostel staff who decided to loudly whistle, sing and do work that involves loud banging between the hours of 6am - 7am made it impossible to sleep here. There were also limited washrooms and they were kinda gross. I booked for 2 nights and left after the first
The location was great. The staff were nice
We stayed in a private room but the toilet didn’t flush all of the time. We ended up using the communal toilets to do our business which defeated the point of paying for a private room. The accommodation does look slightly different on the outside to the images online so we were a bit confused when we turned up. The room would be made better if it had a fridge, or at least if there was a communal fridge for guests.
We stayed in a private room and it was very comfortable and quiet. Nice communal lounge area. Friendly staff. Decent air con. We loved it!
Shower is only cold water but I think that'a quite common for Port Barton! Otherwise no complaints.
Fijne accommodatie met super vriendelijk personeel, fijne locatie net een beetje uit de drukte
Het zou het nog fijner maken als je (tegen betaling) kan ontbijten :)
Emplacement parfait, lits confortables, salles de bains dans la chambre, espace commun avec mini bar, les tours et bus peuvent être réservés directement avec la réception.
Franchement il n'y a pas vraiment de point négatif, un point d'amélioration serait de proposer un petit déjeuner.
- sehr nettes Personal - simples aber sauberes Zimmer
- leider kein warmes Wasser während des gesamten Aufenthalts - WLAN im Zimmer nur eingeschränkt verfügbar
Hostel simple mais qui a tout ce qu’il faut Propice aux rencontres et proche de la plage
È una struttura estremamente spartana perlopiù frequentata da giovani ma ci si sta bene con un po' di spirito di adattamento; il personale è efficiente, estremamente cortese e disponibile, se prenotate una escursione in hotel c'è un buono a favore, la posizione è ottima. Il ristorante "Santa" offre un ottimo polpo gallego.
Super équipe, bon accueil et bonne ambiance ! J'ai adoré séjourné là-bas, je reviendrai avec plaisir :)
Personeli çok cana yakın, yardımsever, çok merkezi, internet bağlantısı sorunsuz. Fiyat performans olarak uygun bir yer.
Duş almak için sıcak su yok(yıl 2026). 30 yıl önce sırt çantamla seyahat etmeye başladığımda bu normaldi. Uzun yıllardan sonra böyle birşey tecrübe ettik. Gelecek yıl bu konuda iyileşme olacağı söylendi. Her odada saatlerce A/C çalışırken duş için harcanacak elektrik bir dert olmamalı diye düşünüyorum.
The hostel wasn’t a great location just a few minutes walk from the beach and all the main restaurants and bars. The staff were accommodating and helped me with my luggage. The standard of the facilities was cleaner than other hostels I stay in whilst in port Barton.
La posizione molto centrale, le aree comuni così come le camere pulite, considerando che fanno pulizia giornaliera anche delle camere. La disposizione dei letti ed i letti stessi sono davvero e ti permettono di avere i giusti spazi, anche per organizzare i bagagli.

Les douches
Staff very friendly and helpful! Good wifi. Common area is nice and comfortable. Clean bathroom but cold shower. Beds are comfortable and offer some privacy.
Cold water during the shower
J’ai beaucoup aimé l’espace commun très chill. Le dortoir est très bien, les casiers sont très grands. Fontaine d’eau à dispo. Serviette de toilette en location. Personnel très agréable et souriant.

L'emplacement. Les douches sont propres. Accueil du personnel. Les lits sont très confortables. La wifi fonctionne bien.
Vous pouvez trouver mieux et moins cher.
- Gut gelegen: 5 Minuten von dem Bus Terminal und man erreicht alles gut zu Fuss - Schöner Gemeinschaftsbereich - Nettes Personal
- Bettzeug war zwar frisch und sauber, aber unter der Matratze dürfte man wieder mal putzen - Grosser Dorm und leichthörig: Wenn jemand rumläuft, hört man dies sehr gut.
Very friendly and helpful staff and very clean property. I stayed in a double room with private bathroom and everything was very clean, spacious, and comfortable.
The reception staff were very kind. Easy to book tours, shared vans etc through them. The hostel was also very clean. Nice chill out area.
Close to the beach, clean rooms, amazing people.
Lovely staff, good location.
No hot water whatsoever. In our private bathroom the shower was freezing cold. No warning about this beforehand or mention of it on arrival. Extremely loud air con and other guests shouting throughout the night.
Friendly personnel that helps with tours and travel (El Nido) at competing and honest prices. Sell drinks and have nice lounge with good Wifi.
Shower was cold and had limited pressure.

Good AC, lovely staff, easy to get to everywhere without being in the mess of it
Bien situé, propre, le personnel très à l’écoute
We felt very well taken care of by the kind staff and owner. The kind hospitality really makes all the difference and way exceeded our expectations at this price range. There were some issues that were addressed by the kind staff right away and we felt welcomed and good there. The shared space was very nice to chill at and the area was quiet at night. They also own a cheap well equipped jungle gym short walk away, which made our stay in Port Barton really nice. They have staff onsite helping with booking etc…
La ubicación muy buena y el personal es excelente. Precio calidad es acorde.
El aire acondicionado no daba a basto y hacía demasiado ruido por lo cual era dificultoso dormir. Sacando eso todo bien.
Personal war sehr nett
Trinkwasser war nicht kalt WIFI im Zimmer sehr schwach
אין מים חמים במקלחת ויש הרבה יתושים וחרקים
La gentillesse du personnel, la taille de la chambre et la proximité de tout dans la ville.

Very chill nice hostel! Really enjoyed my time here felt that since the vibe was chill it was super easy talking to hostel mates and staff alike. Overall great memorable time:)
My first day the drains were clogged in the bathroom for the shower and standing water. But it was fixed immediately, so that’s about it.
This is a very cute little hostel - it’s simple but they keep it very clean and the dorm is comfortable and quiet. The chill out area is nice and the wifi works well. The staff are kind and attentive. Very good value for money :)
Amazing staff and great location towards the beach. WiFi was good in the rooms and it was quite spacious in there for bags.
Only issue shower was cold most of the time and a few cockroaches did manage to find there way in.
Calidad precio bien, ubicación genial y personal muy amable
Lo único no había agua caliente y bueno el aire sonaba mucho y enfriaba poco pero para el precio está bien
Muy bien ubicado y personal super amable.
Schöne Unterkunft mit entspanntem Aufenthaltsbereich, Bar, nettes Personal. Gut, um zu connecten. Nicht weit vom Strand
Klima teils zu kalt, nach Erwähnung an der Rezeption konnte das aber geändert werden. Die Zimmer hätten ordentlicher von Sand befreit werden können.
Lovely staff, great ambience and vibe. Nice value for money and a cool place to meet people and make friends.
L'équipe est a l'écoute,bonne énergie.je recommande.
Great rooms, “pod” like beds so a lot of privacy! Outside facilities are good too and the staff is extremely nice.
The staff were so accommodating and welcoming
Nothing
Es un lugar agradable, las instalaciones están bien y el personal es genial!
Por las noches los huéspedes se reúnen en la zona "chill out" sin permitir el descanso. Es un buen sitio para conocer a gente.
Great location and exceptional staff. Helpful with all tours, bookings and very friendly and accommodating. Great coffee I house. If you book tours through reception you get bar/coffee tab
No bother but only cold showers
La cama y el cojín es extremadamente cómoda! Descanse durante toda la noche sin problema, la ubicación es buena y el hotel es perfecto para conocer gente y pasar un buen rato.
Tenían dos tortugas en un pequeño recipiente de plástico en medio del paso... no es el mejor lugar para ellas, debería acondicionar un estanque con zona seca para que puedan tomar el sol y tranquilas alejadas de la gente que camina por allí' Porfavor cámbienles el agua.
L’endroit est chaleureux et le personnel adorable notamment Joseph qui est un amour
Personnel très accueillant,bonne vibe!
Sehr nettes Personal, schöne gemeinschaftliche Area und gute Lage. Personal ist bei allem behilflich- Organisation von Transport, Touren und sämtliche andere Anliegen :) Super Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis!
Sehr laute Klimaanlage auf dem Zimmer, ohne ist es aufgrund des Klimas aber kaum auszuhalten- ansonsten alles bestens!
Very nice hosts, willing to help with every question (and they are happy to share company with you). They take good care of the cleaning (laundry smells great!) The location is 5 minutes walking from the main beach. Nice common area and good WIFI.
If you want to shower with hot water it’s from a bucket. The don’t sell food in their bar, only drinks
Staff super, localisation parfaite, peu chère, parfait pour faire des rencontres
Très bon staff, chambre et salle de bain propre et opérationnelle, espace commun très chaleureux
Dos baños y dos duchas en una habitación para 6! Estaban limpias Camas cómodas y lockers espaciosos para guardar la mochila
No había agua caliente en la ducha Aire acondicionado se apaga hasta las 16:30
La cama y la cercanía a la playa.
El conducto de salida del agua de la ducha estaba abierto y entraba alguna que otra cucaracha.
