Caruma Surf Hostel

This hostel , is just as it says, a surfers hostel. The ambiance is the real winner here. The great room has a really chill vibe , and there is plenty of space for people to relax. The owner and staff are very friendly and willing to help. One of the plusses is that the bunks in the rooms are fabricated from steel tubing , which makes it much more stable when getting in and out of a top bunk, also more quiet. All the bunks had privacy curtains and individual outlets and lights in each bunk. Great for not disturbing the other guests. There is a full kitchen to prepare food, but there are also lots of eating choices nearby.

The showers took a long time to heat up , and there was only one that was not for showering after the beach. If you are backpacking and need to wash clothes , there is no place to hang anything up to dry.

Nice.

Nothing to dislike

LOVED THIS PLACE! Super rad if you are a surfer

Host was not around a lot

The design in the main area is amazing! the toilets and shower were clean. I felt safe, as a woman travaling alone.

3 things made it a bit disappointing - 1. I pretty sure there were flees in the bed, in the morning bites appeared a on my legs, and on my next locations there were no additional bites. 2. the locker for personal stuff (I stayed in shared dorms) was too narrow for my Camino bag. 3. There wasn't someone at reception and felt kinda alone in that manner (like had questions about the kitchen and didn't know who to aaproach).
