Real good experience at this hostel. Great location, great staff, facilities and guests. Has a good, fun vibe and each day of the week is a different theme/deal at the bar which was nice.

Very nice rooftop bar, activities for the guests are also offered! I was not completely content with the cleanliness and there is no vending machine or anything like that to buy drinks.

Location is fantastic. Free surfboard. The whole hostel is not really clean. Be aware to stay with bunch teenagers. Female staffs were friendly and professional. Except a long hair male staff busy talk with 15-16 British girls and keep other customers waiting.

The Surf House is fantastic! Its location in town is perfect, and I appreciated the warm welcome and early check-in. I met some wonderful people in my room. I highly recommend joining the free morning yoga classes on the rooftop—such a great experience! Callum, the guide for the lighthouse walk, is a legend. I also enjoyed the farmers market on Thursday, guided by a lovely Dutch girl. The staff is friendly and the kitchen is well-equipped and clean. Highly recommend!
