Liked: The location is great and the atmosphere as well. It's a great place to meet people, they have live music at a lot of nights and great parties! (warning! There can be loud music and loads of people out until 2AM, making it for some people hard to get some sleep)

Disliked: The staff behind the counter was nice but very inefficient... They have to do way too much stuff for one person so you have long waits even if you just want to get some ice cream or a beer. The staff in the kitchen en behind the bar at night are not friendly at all and make it seem like you are giving them a very hard time by just ordering a drink... I mean if you don't want to work here just get an other job!

Liked: Good location close to the beach and restaurants, and a nice outdoor hammock area to chill out in.

Disliked: The staff were actually quite rude to us when we checked in for no good reason- they had lots of attitude. Also the Internet and wifi had bad connections.

Liked: The location is ok, however on an island this small it is impossible to have a bad location. Be warned you cannot swim on the beach near the hostel.

Disliked: The staff is very unfriendly and unhelpful. Don't expect your normal friendly hostel staff who will talk to you and offer advice about their area. There are signs all around the hostel with rules and the punishment if you break them (eg. use the wrong locker - fine of $50; have more than 2 cups of coffee at breakfast - fine of $50, and many more). This leads to a bad atmosphere in the hostel. The free breakfast is actually just stale bread and coffee, everyday. When we went to the kitchen 5 minutes early for breakfast, the staff slammed the door right in our faces, instead just asking us to come back later. The hostel is not cleaned well. Someone threw up in a shared bathroom and the vomit stayed there for 4 days. The wifi doesn't really work and you can only use the hostel computer for 3o minutes. They have a bar but the drinks are more expensive than the other bars on the island. After staying in approx 100 hostels, this is the worst I have ever stayed in. I strongly recommend you pay a few dollars more and stay at one of the friendly cheap hotels on the island.

Liked: You always meet new people every day that are in the same situation as yourself. Friendly employes and a great offer to every backpacker. Nice prices and a great beach bar!

Disliked: The room we stayed in didnt have a ac, but only two fans, which made it almost impossible so sleep well when you share a room with seven other people.
