    Everything is great although a bit far away from Montanita Square but totally worthy .

    This is my second time staying at this hostel. I invited my brother to join me in this trip, he felt in love with the hostel, he will be back to stay again. Jackson and the rest of the staff made it so comfortable like you are at home. Love the relaxing vibe, the property, the garden, the bed was super comfy! The AC was strong cold, perfect for the high temperatures. They accommodated me with my allergy food (gluten-free) breakfast. I also fully enjoyed the Yin yoga class that I attended, amazing calming and relaxation for my nervous system. Definitely coming back and totally recommended.

    I love the ambiance of the whole place all of the great foliage that was around really made it feel like it was a special type of garden of Eden place staff were super nice and very informative and the location and proximity to the beach was second to none

    It’s a bit more pricey than other places in Montañita. Same goes for the surf lessons. If you’re on a budget but still want to stay here, maybe check out some surf schools in town or in Olón.

    Beautiful hostel! It has many cute places to sit and chill, and a reasonably well equipped kitchen. The yoga space is to die for (as are the courses)! The breakfast: yum! This hostel attracts adult travelers, meaning: it’s not a party hostel, but definitely one to meet interesting people and socialise over a couple of drinks. I had a wonderful time! The location is also great, close to the beach and quiet, yet the busy part of Montañita is just a few minutes‘ walk away.

    Only thing that would be great is perhaps mosquito nets. But thats not a problem with repellent.

    Really friendly vibe, and decorated really well. Its a gem of a place, and a lot of love and creativity makes it unique. Wish I had stayed longer to check out the yoga classes.

    Having stayed in Montanita several times, this place was the best place I have stayed at. Tamarra, Jackson , and the crew were awesome. They treated us like family. I highly recommend staying here if you like to sleep at night.

    Perfect location, 50m from the beach - near the best surf in Montanita and in the quiet part of the town. Super friendly and accommodating staff, very comfortable rooms, delicious breakfast, and some of the best yoga I have practiced. I met some amazing people here too. I extended my stay, twice. 10/10

    The kitchen could be a bit better equipped (especially in this price category). But for simple food its enough.

    I loved the relaxed vibe, the really good Yoga classes and so many hammocks to chill. Into town its just a 5min bike ride or a 15min beach walk, so close enough if you want to go party and far enough to have a good sleep.In the evenings you always find people heading for dinner. I had my very first female surf teacher with Shae. She could exactly identify what I am struggling with, explained very clear how I can improve and worked with me on that. So all in all: Good place to do some vacation from travelling :)

    Absolutely quiet beautiful hotel just fue steps from the beach. Yoga was awesome, people even more. When you’re coming by bus, go out in supermarket Tia and take taxi for 2 dollars. After all you can take a bike and walk everywhere. There are nice walk to Olon viewpoint and to Olon beach, don’t miss it as well.

    Could not fault it.

    The friendly staff, the tasty breakfast which was different every morning. The social areas and atmosphere of the place is great. Yoga classes, surf lessons, board rentals and bikes available. Good location and distance away from the night club music. We made some amazing friends at this hostal and it has been our most memorable stay and we were sad to leave.

    Some hooks to hang a towel in the bathroom would be great. Neighbor's dog barking in the middle of the night, but that's not the Hostels fault.

    Really nice place, friendly staff, spacious dorm with comfy beds and mosquito nets, nice outdoor area. Really good breakfast! Yoga classes everyday for 9 $. Quiet at night, because it's not directly in the center of Montañita, but still in 10 min walking distance. Free bike rental as well. Loved it there!

    the surf classes they offered were a bit more expensive than other surf schools in town, drinking water had an extra cost of 1 USD per day, which is okay I guess I just prefer when it is already included in the room rate

    Staff was very helpful and nice, awesome breakfast which was different every day, nice outside area with a lot of places to chill, free beach towel rental and free bike rental
