Tribe on the Beach

Horrendous manager walking around in his underwear !!! Other things too. Old men following me around there, felt VERY UNCOMFORTABLE Please if you are a women or with children BEWARE!!! If I had been with my boyfriend I would not have been treated so bad. Not recommend

I’ve stayed in over 60 hostels & I’ve never had an experience as bad as this. I genuinely feared for my safety. I arrived to find the owner (I think), an old (Kiwi?) man, in his underwear - that was my first red flag - but I figured since it was just one night I would be fine. Come to find out, over half the hostel is old men, which made me very uncomfortable. A few hours later the owner tells me that I “took the wrong bed,” even though I took the one that the volunteer told me to take. This man had taken it upon himself to move my things. I told him I was feeling uncomfortable and I would like to leave with a refund. He left, I assume to get the refund, and I called my mom to rationalize the situation. This is when the escalation happened, and I’m still not exactly sure why. The owner (old underwear man) burst into my room, screaming that I had to leave. I said I was planning on it and that I just had to pack up. He grabbed my bag and stormed out of the room, throwing my things on the floor. I asked to go back to get my other stuff, but he said he would grab it. Obviously, he didn’t grab everything as he didn’t know what was mine, but this could have been avoided if he had just let me pack. All the while, he’s standing over me, screaming at me. I was terrified. I did not receive my refund. I had to dispute the charge with my credit card company. Besides that, the pillows can barely even be called pillows, the room smells horrible, and the bathroom is moldy. DO NOT BOOK HERE, especially if you are a young woman traveling alone like myself. I’m still shaking hours later. My worst hostel experience to date.

Nice and quite place. Nice and quite place, close to the beach.

Really good view from the rooftop terrace, as soon as you are exiting the hostel you will find yourself on the beach, friendly staff ... including the manager ond the owner. A great spot to unwind, recharge your batteries, and catch up with backpackers.. Remember respect and kindess to be passed on ! Enjoy

It was clean, and very secure. The staff were friendly from the moment I arrived and introduced me to other guests. It was a very happy place. Thanks!
