10/10 Excellent

I like the YHA as an older person. I have traveled on my own my last 2 visits and I enjoy the communal space you don't feel isolated. Hotels are to impersonal.
Patricia, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

Pros: Large kitchen area for families and groups to eat. Bathroom & bedroom were clean. Cons: Unfortunately we had a sleepless night because of the heavy loud doors. From our bedroom, we could hear every time someone in the hallway opened and closed their door at night. This was pretty unavoidable as there is no way to quietly close the doors to every room/shared bathroom.
Sylvia, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Perfect location and great service

It's located nearby several hiking paths, waterfalls and rain forests. The rooms are cozy and the breakfast is simple yet delicious. The service is also really good. Flavia was a great help and her colleagues were really kind as well. We particularly loved the hall where we could read and eat. Really really great. Thank you.
