My experience in the hostel was amazing! I had the opportunity to do many things that I haven't done before. I practiced my English, learned a lot about Suriname's culture and met beautiful people. Hope I can go back someday. Muchas gracias! 🙌🏻🇺🇾

This hostel is a great place to connect with all different kinds of people and the staff is very welcoming. It's very easy to make friends for lifetime here. Also the country is still one of the hidden gems and offers lots of nature that can be explored.

I had a really great time at the hostel. Everyone was really welcoming and the work was chill, all the hours respected. Besides, the location is really at the historical centre! I was able to connect to a lot of people, practice English and even help a bit w/ my poor Spanish hahah. Though it's not a party hostel, it has nice places to socialize. In the middle of the time I had applied, I started feeling rly sick and was a bit scared. I decided to leave back to my country to take care of myself and they were really understanding. Thank you to all the hostel team for receiving me!
