I've stayed at Casa Terra for almost 4 weeks because I went to Intercultura Language School nearby to learn Spanish. I felt very comfortable and at home at Casa Terra. It was always very clean. Also, I enjoyed being surrounded by nature and since it was not on the main road, it was really quiet at night. The walk to the beach is about 8 minutes, the walk downtown around 15 minutes. The volunteers Constance and Carolina as well as the owners were always happy to help with questions and organizing tours and often hung out with us at the hostel. I can fully recommend staying there.

United Kingdom
Probably one of the best hostels for quite some time. The place very much felt like community living and sharing more than a hostel. We met very nice people from all ages and backgrounds, everyone gathers around the garden table and share stories...really fabulous! Kitchen is fully fitted and very clean, the double room we had was ok though in the main passageway, so ask for the ones upstairs if you can..they are also a lot more spacious. Immaculate bathrooms and communal areas. A real gem. What makes this a success is the atmosphere there, the great location minutes from everything and the general comfort and value for money.

Switzerland
The place is just so beautiful and gives off garden-jungle-cozy vibes. It is full of plants and you can see animals too! Thomas is such a nice host, he was always ready to answer all our questions, gave great suggestions on where to eat or go swimming, helped look at our rental car because we were clueless and prepared a very lovely breakfast every morning. The welcome drinks were fresh coconuts, which were absolutely AMAZING! The rooms are very spaceous and had 2 fans. Just don’t leave food in your room, he has a very nice and big kitchen where you can put your things in a fridge, otherwise you could attract ants. At night you can see many crabs at the beach, which is very close by! It’s super quiet at night, all you can hear are the animals. Thank you for a lovely stay dear Thomas!🙏🏼

I loved cooling off in the dipping pool before bed each night. Great location … 5 minutes to walk to all restaurants, beach and shops but also not right in the middle of all the late night music etc.
