I liked atmosphere in the hostel, very nice people. Everyone is very friendly. There's a common kitchen where you can cook and there's a group chat where you get to know akl the news and adventures they offer) I missed my pasta night but the idea of having common evenings is great. It's simple but very family like.

Offering a year-round outdoor pool and a patio with sea views, Aloe Vera Shared House is located in El Médano in the Tenerife Region. The property offers filtered drinking water and green electricity.

The rooms come with a shared bathroom. Aloe Vera Shared House features free WiFi throughout the property.

I had a great time at Aloe Vera Shared House, the volunteers were great, very helpful and also the other guests were just amazing people. The curtains on the beds are a nice touch, they give some privacy 😉 DEFINITELY RECOMMEND, IT FELT LIKE A HOME AWAY FROM HOME Do keep in mind that this is a hostel, so it comes with all the "hostel" stuff: shared dorms, shared spaces and limited number of bathrooms (but in the 11 days I spent there I didn't have to wait to get to the bathroom). It is a little further from town: 20-30 minutes by foot, and the bus that goes all the way there has a weird schedule (early morning and afternoon, not on weekends/public holiday). This would be the only (minor) inconvenience in my opinion, and not in the control of the management. Also, an important thing to keep in mind: El Medano is very windy, most of the time, so do keep that in mind and take it into account when booking.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Cheap stay, has potential. Cleanliness is ok but the bed bugs need to be professionally killed.

    Very friendly staff, the vibe in the hostel was amazing, great location, many supermarkets, restaurants and different beaches close by, you can wash your clothes at the hostel for a small fee and cook your own meals. One of the best things was that you could lend a surfboard, balls and other cool stuff for free, really amazing!
