BUG review
This is a good hostel with a handy location and a great laid-back surf atmosphere. It is a clean place with good facilities that include an internet café and a TV lounge. It was undergoing renovation when we visited so things should improve by the time you visit.

About BUG's hostel reviews
This hostel was visited by one of BUG's team of hostel inspectors who write independent reviews and assess a star rating based on an objective assessment criteria.

We show up unannounced at hostels to write honest and unbiased hostel reviews. Many of BUG's reviews now feature videos and photo slideshows. BUG never receives payment for listing any establishment and BUG's researchers never accept free accommodation in exchange for favourable reviews.

This is the best hostel I've ever stayed in and there's been a few!! The staff are always friendly and very helpful, the facilities are great , but most of all the atmosphere is unbeatable! I made a lot of friends there whom I'll never forget especially when I have a few beers!! Raff the dog is sooo cute! The hostel's right in town which is very convenient and if you're lazy like me you won't even have to walk to the beach 'cause the hostel bus will drop you there!! When you go there say Hi to Anthony and Martina for me!
