Great little hostel! Family owned. Pickup for airport was 8-10 dollars. Bed was comfy. Share one bathroom with others. Provide breakfast daily eggs with rice and beans and banana slices. It was really good. Offer dinner for 7dollars which was also good. Theirs a nearby place to get food, a small market and bakery. Only thing was that as a solo traveler Randall offered private travels but was a bit expensive recommend doing the tours with Expedia for about the same price it includes a meal but w

Very charming hostel, very homey. You can see a lot of love went into the place. Lots of plants, a tiny waterfall. Had a private room with bath and A/C. The homemade dinner was very good. They provided us transportation to the airport at only $8 for the carload. Would stay here again in a minute.
