Super :))
Everything is great ! The personnel is super nice, the activities are great! It’s a good place to meet people and to make friends.
The beds are big so you have enough space to sleep.
(Only one shower for 12 in the big dorm but it was ok to shower).
I recommend !

Stays true to name
I stayed there for a week while I was exploring Baños de Agua Santa. Everything was kept clean and working (though I was my room had a towel hook in the bathroom). They have a cozy social room with pool table, small tables, a bar, tasty cafe for a variety of food options and a couple couches to watch movies on; plus a outdoor fire pit, hammocks, bicycles to rent, and plenty of green space for outdoor yoga types. All the staff were friendly and helpful but Sebastian a bilingual California dude knows Baños like the back of his hand. He offered plenty of useful info, helped me book things, and was down to have some drinks and plays with the crew, even had a fun group karaoke night :)! He just really helped break up the friend cliques and get everyone to socialize and have fun. Which for me is a big part of staying in hostels. Wish I could remember the rest of the staffs names for shout outs. Salud! Great Hostel

Hi there! Thank you so much for the 'Salud!' and for staying with us for a full week while exploring the magic of Baños.
It’s fantastic to hear that our social spaces—from the fire pit to the movie nights—helped you feel at home. We take great pride in our atmosphere, so knowing that our team (especially Sebastian!) succeeded in breaking the ice and bringing everyone together for karaoke is exactly what we love to hear. We'll make sure to give Sebastian a huge shout-out; he’ll be thrilled to know he made your stay so memorable!
We also appreciate your feedback regarding the towel hook in your room. It’s those small details that make a big difference, and we’ll look into adding those to ensure even more comfort for our future guests.
Whether you're coming back for some outdoor yoga or another round of drinks with the crew, we can’t wait to welcome you back to Baños.
Safe travels!

Smoke smell
Cleaning, the bed, the place, the ambience were fine. But the rooms smelled full of weed, even at the middle of the night. I would like to suggest to place a sign “not to smoke” near or in the rooms..

experience in great hostels
we spent two nights there what was really good fun. on the first day we did the biking tour to the water falls which is really worth it. you see some nice nature and have a shuttle back up for 3$ and went a bit clubbing in the evening. the hostel is very chill with nice staff and the beds are very comfortable. you also have warm water in the shower and you can do your laundry for 5$.

Hi there! Thank you so much for staying with us for those two nights and for sharing your experience.
It’s awesome to hear you made the most of the biking tour to the waterfalls—it truly is one of the best ways to see the nature around Baños! We’re also glad you found the shuttle service and our laundry facilities useful; we know those practical details make a trip much smoother.
There’s nothing better than coming back to a hot shower and a comfortable bed after a day of adventure and a night of clubbing, so we’re happy to hear you had a 'very chill' stay with us.
We hope to see you back here for more fun and more waterfalls soon!

A great place to meet new people
The hostel is great, the rooms are nice and clean and the employers are kind and talkative. The vibe is great, it is a party hostel so it is a great place to meet new people and to have a good time. We really enjoyed our stay but you have to bear in mind that it is a party hostel so there will be some noice but that is a part of the charm for me.
Very good location
