    Clean facilities, welcoming staff, and a great location near the beach. Social vibe with hammocks and communal cooking area. Perfect for meeting people and enjoying the nature sounds in a tropical garden. The kitchen is spacious and the coffee is excellent. A place to chill and feel at home.

    The location of the hotel was fantastic, with the beach just a short walk away. It was also conveniently located close to the grocery store and a variety of restaurants and bars. The atmosphere at the hotel was lively and fun, with friendly staff and a great social vibe.

    The cleanliness of the hotel left a lot to be desired. The common spaces, especially the kitchen, were not well-maintained and could have been cleaner.

    The hostel had a great vibe and the staff were super friendly. The location was perfect, just a short walk to the beach and close to a store. I loved how easy it was to meet other travelers and relax in the common areas. The hostel had a guitar to play and a good spot to dry clothes. The kitchen was also well-organized with a separate fridge for drinks. it felt like a home away from home.

    That the building looked quite old and not well-maintained. The entrance was a bit busy and didn't give a warm welcome.

    The atmosphere at this hostel was incredibly chill and laid-back. The kitchen was clean and well-equipped, and having free coffee all day was a definite win. I loved relaxing in the hammocks during the golden hour before and after surfing. And the surf hire shop was conveniently located just a short walk away. I had a really enjoyable and relaxing stay.

    The location of the hostel is ideal, being only a minute walk to the beach and a short distance to various restaurants, ATMs, a supermarket, and a bus stop. Additionally, guests have access to free beach towel rentals, allowing for a hassle-free beach experience. The friendly staff also provides excellent service, creating a welcoming and inviting atmosphere.

    The kitchen could benefit from better cleaning and maintenance.

    The hostel's location was perfect, just a minute away from the beach. The hosts went above and beyond to satisfy our needs. The atmosphere was pleasant and created a sense of community. The common rooms were spacious and allowed for socializing.

    Absolutely nothing.

    My friend recommended this place and I originally booked for just one night, but ended up staying for over two months. From the moment we arrived, we knew it was special. The two minute walk to the beach was a dream, and there were plenty of food options nearby. As someone who needed to work while in Samara, the hostel was perfect for all my needs. The owners and volunteers were incredibly kind and hospitable, always going above and beyond to make sure we had a great stay. The hostel had a great atmosphere, and I made lifelong friends during my time there. I can't recommend this place enough. I'll definitely be back!

    There were a few minor issues during our stay. The sink in our dorm was draining slowly, but it was quickly fixed by the staff.
