Frustrating experience: poor communication and lack of basic comfort
Arriving at the hostel was very difficult and frustrating. There was no sign, name, or any indication on the walls or the buildings. Since the complex consists of multiple buildings, I had no idea where to go and ended up knocking on several doors without any response. I only managed to get inside because I decided to message them on WhatsApp myself, after which they finally responded and sent someone to help me. It would be much better if the hostel proactively sent a clear map and photos with instructions to guests beforehand.
Additionally, the hot water situation was a major downside. Hot water is not available 24/7; you have to request it via WhatsApp 10 minutes in advance. Even after requesting it, you have to leave the tap running for a very long time before any water comes out. To make matters worse, the water is not hot at all, but lukewarm at best—I estimate it was around 40 degrees Celsius maximum. This made taking a comfortable shower impossible.
On top of that, there was an issue with the room's ceiling. White flakes kept falling down onto the floor and our belongings. This residue (iron sulfide) is clearly caused by severe moisture and dampness issues in the building, which is highly unhygienic.

La ubicación es un poco complicada cuando no se lleva vehículo propio
Falla en el agua caliente el segundo día.
Colchón muy duro y almohadas en muy mal estado.
No cuenta con espejo ni espacios para colocar artículos de higiene personal en el baño
No cuenta con espacios para colgar ropa, ni para colocar artículos personales en la habitación
El espacio entre la puerta y el piso es muy alto, lo que permite que entre el aire frío a la habitación
Pomocny personel i klimat panujący dzięki temu w obiekcie
Bien placé
Tres hummide et mal isolé, tres froid la nuit
The location and view was amazing. Cute baby and young family that run it. I met very interesting people and loved chillin there, the food was very good and a good value. Hot water!!
I booked a family room with a window and a view with a balcony. I was given a jail like "cell" that was freezing (received no sun) and was next to a patio that hard a super bright light on and people chillin outside which was loud. I was told the night I arrived I would get the room I booked the next day. But was told later and later again and I never got to be in the room I wanted. I understand I had to switch my dates due to a getting into an accident and not being able to walk well. I was given more blankets the next night so I was able to sleep in the freezing, clearly hastily finished room.
Beautiful art, room was clean and cozy, host was kind and welcoming. They speak only Spanish.
If you’re a rugged traveller you won’t mind the bathrooms.
Nothing, it was horrible
The room smelled bad, it was constantly noisy, the grounds were trashy. And at the end the owner came into our room making a big fuss and demanding an extra 500 pesos for no reason. It was a huge ripoff and I guess that's what I get for choosing the cheapest room available. Would never recommend this place that is run by thieves and liars
Great hostel. Good food. The lady who runs the hostel is super nice and friendly. Great views from the hostel.
Location
No internet, no hot water, and the room smelled strongly of SEWAGE.
Great view from my room, clean and very very lovely staff.
The shower was really almost no pressure. But the water was very hot so that was nice!
Absolutely wonderful value for money. Incredible view and has all that you need. This includes a very affordable comedor run by the family.
Toilets weren’t amazing but to be expected up a mountain!
Great value for the money! I was a little concerned based on previous reviews but it was all we needed!! The staff was very accommodating, the view was amazing, the room is simple but comfortable and clean. We would definitely go back.
Nothing
Being woken up nightly from loud music, stomping, and others having sex. Pre paid for 10 days. After 5 was enough. Denied a refund.
Amazing rooms with cool art, fire place and balcony with beautiful views. The Staff were lovely and beyond helpful, with great food too. Completely blew expectations out the water.
They have an amazing roof you can sit on and admire the views as well. Hope to go back one day.
Nothing
I ended up not staying here, partially because another place opened up which I preferred, and partially because it wasn't what I expected. There's nothing wrong with it technically, but it just was very basic, nothing but a room with a bed and bathroom. The people were very nice but I ended up leaving and abandoning my reservation.
Bed was a low quality mattress with no mattress pad and just a thin set of sheets. The power outlet was hanging out of the wall. No decorations or anything to spruce it up or create a nice feel.
