Simple rooms with a very hospitable host (host speaks perfect English). We had the room with two separate beds and a private bathroom. Small downside for us was the bathroom being on the other side of the hallway and that the lock of the bathroom didn't work to well. Location of the hostel is perfect! Close by the only cascade you can swim in, by a shop and in the middle of all the restaurants. 5 stars to Octavio for doubling up as our taxi from and to the airport, as well as dropping us off at the start of the west coast trail hike. He was even nice enough to make a small detour to some of the viewpoints because we were a bit to early when returning to the airport. Thanks for that opportunity Octavio!
Great place to stay in Flores. Handmade breakfast with spectacular views of the falls to the chirping of birds. The start of all hiking trails, the beach is within walking distance. The owners are extremely friendly, helpful and very discreet. I enjoyed staying there and I highly recommend it!
