The room is very clean, the shower is very convenient, the kitchen has a wide view, the courtyard is very comfortable, you can see the sea on three sides, it is worth staying next time; the location is super convenient; you can watch the stars directly in the courtyard at night

The living room smells bad, the bathroom has no heating and is very cold. The price of a single room is a bit expensive.

There were five of us, and the room was just right for five people, which was good. We had breakfast in the yard, and we could see the sea from afar. The car drove directly into the yard, which was very convenient, and the landlord answered all our questions.

I loved staying at this place! Hostel is simple, and quiet due to being low season, and doesnt pretend to be anything fancy. But it is great located, views are amazing, and it is comfortable and cozy, with a wood fire at the night to keep youwarm. Spa pool was closed so cant comment ( I think due to being almost empty the lodge). Staff was incredible friendly and welcoming. Would definitely go back! Luciana

It saddens me to write this, as we have stayed at this backpackers before when Helen owned it. Last night both our rooms were dirty with a musty odour. The woollen blankets on beds were stained and dirty. The towels had an unpleasant smell and felt grubby. The overall feel of the place was that it needs an extremely good clean. Investing in new linen, towels etc, the place looked tired and grubby. Your prices were expensive Could of got better accommodation at the same rate if we had realized how down hill this establishment had gone. Lisa
