“Not overrated, but underwhelming!”

I had mixed feelings, maybe we stayed too long with four nights and I would probably have nothing to complain about if it weren’t so expensive. We had the deluxe private room for €120 a night, which has a very nice look, but for the money I expect shampoo, shower gel, and the like to already be there. I knew there was no air conditioning, but for the price the room was still very stale and smelly. But the bed was insanely comfortable! The private cabanas are set up so you can smell garbage or wastewater 24/7, which is really disgusting. I’m not sure if it’s just the dried fruit next to the hostel that’s disposed of, but the smell was a huge torment for us. The food is super tasty but expensive; if you eat 2–3 times a day and a few drinks (coffee, beer), you spend €50–60 per person per day. A big beer costs €6 and a mojito €10–11… but at least they’re delicious, though I felt like I was on the Amalfi coast with the prices. In my opinion, there’s no mini‑supermarket where you could buy fruit, snacks, yogurt drinks, or something so you don’t have to take a full portion of something every time. Wi‑Fi is only in the restaurant/coworking area and is okay, I guess; people who pay €120 a night should probably get an extra access so they can Netflix on quiet evenings. The parties were fine :) not very fast music but great atmosphere. We just expected too much – but we met absolutely amazing people. 80% Australians, 10% English, 10% worldwide. Also the tubing was a lot of fun even though it was still overpriced, a recommendation! And the location itself is naturally very beautiful, the river is wonderful!

“Lugar tranquilo pero con servicios caros y que se pueden mejorar”

Original place, pleasant nature. Prices are very high at the restaurant, showers could be better, the atmosphere is very touristy.

Legendary party hostel that rightfully earned its reputation. Daily program, great for meeting people, everything clean, beds totally fine. Michi did a great job 👍👍. Food/drinks on site are very tasty, but expensive and due to the remote location there aren’t many alternatives.
