More than a hostel
8 Beds Mixed Dorm & A Private Room
A Budget Stay That Supports Local
With only a handful of guests at a time, it’s easier to meet new people, have meaningful conversations, and enjoy a relaxed vibe. Whether you’re sharing breakfast, exploring the area together, or simply unwinding in the common area, our hostel is a place where connections happen naturally.
We’ve chosen to keep things small and intimate, offering just 8 beds in a mixed dormitory and one private room. This way, we can create a welcoming atmosphere that encourages real connections without feeling overcrowded.
We are committed to practicing conscious travel and community based tourism. By sourcing locally, collaborating with like minded tourism actors, and prioritizing sustainability, we believe that travel benefits locals, small businesses, and visitors alike. Fair wages, conscious practices, and inclusive values are at the heart of everything we do. We believe that tourism should support, not disrupt the local way of life.
