Nice hostel to stay. Very friendly and helpful Service. We have a nice room and we can use the kitchen if we want to. You can find restaurants and little super marked down the main road to the beach. Bad part: The hostel is located directly on the main road of Las Galeras. It's very loud in specially during the afternoon til late at night.

The private room is a good one. Clean and good shower. The volunteers are very friendly and helpful. The only problems are the music from a disco close to the hostel until very late I count sleep and that they don't accept card as payments method. I paid in a supermarket with comision and also the owner of this supermarket, one guy with long hair was SUPER RUDE.

It's not the worst we've stayed in. Pretty clean upon entry to the room, bed comfy, pillows OK. Strong fan, but can't really change direction on it. No ac. Water cooler in the lobby, kitchen has all amenities needed (albeit with a very full fridge). Weak wifi but such is the case all over the Dominican Republic so no biggie. No coffee provided, but there is a machinetta and a filter coffee machine. Now to the negatives.. Host was kind of curt upon check in, not very helpful overall, and seemingly had an attitude towards us. Not sure why. This attitude carries over with countless passive aggressive signs throughout the complex - take showers less than 5 minutes, turn off electricity when you leave, don't flush toilet paper. I guess these signs are necessary for some people, so it's not the end of the world to see them all over, but I have a hard time believing that the hotel is so environmentally friendly and such when they're leaving a tiny ac on in the lobby all day long that barely regulates the air. The room isn't very private. There are slats in the door which is directly next to the common area. Other guests were mostly self aware but noise travels easily and you may be woken up by people preparing breakfast. And same goes for night time. There's a smoking area next to the rooms. Insideish. It's fine but occasionally some smells will waft into your room. The windows were partially netted to protect from bugs. The front door is not, and one of the nets was mostly ripped off in the bathroom and not replaced or fixed. So it may be a bit buggy at night. The shower curtain was too short for the shower. So water will get everywhere in the bathroom. The ceiling isn't quite finished - above the private rooms are the bathrooms for the dorms. There are cracks in the wood between the planks and a lot of dust and general debris to fall onto the bed and the room in general when people are walking around upstairs. And as other reviews indicate, there is no door on the bathroom. So, awkward morning poos unless your partner vacates to the common area, or you're a solo traveler. Host was very adamant on quiet time at 1030pm. No problem here, I'm old and I like quiet time, and honestly most of the guests adhered to this policy quite well... But the hotel is next door to an open air night club. They don't listen to that policy and it may be quite loud if they're open. I like music and I can sleep through most noises, but if you're a light sleeper this might not be a good place for you. Overall the stay wasn't horrible. It is very rustic, but it's comfortable enough and it's not too rustic. We've stayed in much worse. But I do think the price point is off. We paid $27/night for two nights and this is more of a $20 a night place. Maybe 25 given that this town is slightly more expensive than more local places, and remote, but the asking price of 30 through most bookings online is too high. I would rate this 4 stars if the price was lower. For what it's worth, we moved after two nights and are spending $40/ night but with personal cabins, air conditioning, and a fridge, with breakfast included, in a private garden, closer to the main beach.

Nice atmosphere when busy. Cozy and affordable private rooms. Service was rather rude at times, but at other times very friendly. Needs more local competition to reach its full potential. Decent kitchen considering other hostels on the island.

Nice and cute hostel! I've been here several times and I won't change the place to stay the next time that I visit Las Galeras! Is super clean, plenty of beautiful details and warm. The location is perfect, close to the beach and in the center of town. Wonderfull place. One hundred percent recommended!
