Absolute heaven, the staff are wonderful and really made our holiday! Being a vegetarian, I have always found it hard whilst travelling, but here, the veggie burgers are AMAZING! You wouldn't want to miss this! This is the best place I have ever stayed. It almost feels unreal!

Me and 2 friends just left here yesterday and we can not believe how amazing the place is. I fluked upon the best room which had a huge 4 poster bed, a large hot tub and a private balcony overlooking the pool (I'd recommend asking for this room, it's worth the extra pesos). The garden is beautiful and offers a... More

A seriously beautiful, relaxing place to be. The rooms have a charming vibe to them with hot tubs, showers, big comfy beds and plenty storage space. At the rear of the hotel is the bar/restaurant area leading to the pool. The food here is so so good, and shockingly reasonable....make sure you try the pork burger! To top it all... More

Arrived and our rooms were beautifully presented. Lovely Scottish bloke named Fraser was there to show us around our jacuzzi baths, the idyllic pool and the dirt cheap bar. Great food was served up soon after ordering - a mainly burger oriented menu but with great veggie options. After a couple of relaxed sherrys we hit the hay early, fell... More

Fantastic big building with lots of space in the dorm rooms along with very comfortable beds. Facilities available make the hostel much better value than any others. Staff and owner really nice helpful people who make the place great. Food served in the restaurant is incredible and well worth the money. Would recommend to anybody looking for a fantastic hostel...

First off to have a sauna and steam room with a beautiful pool FOR THE SAME PRICE per night as a regular Hostel in Cali....Why would you NOT come here??? The owner and bartender are the nicest and coolest people, always helpful with information about whatever you ask and advice! The bunks are one of the most comfortable I have... More

If you a travelling with a couple of friends and want a few days of what, in guesthouse terms, is a luxurious retreat then the Green Saman is perfect. Their are plenty of hammocks in the large garden (I've added a photo), the private rooms are very spacious and comfortable and the place is quite airy (I didn't see the... More

We stayed here because we read a couple of good reviews about it. Hostel turned out to be a bit disappointing though. Advantages: Beautiful Mansion, nice staff, pretty clean, kitchen & restaurant, nice huge garden, swimming pool, turkish steambath, sauna and a TV-room with comfortable couches and a beamer. Disadvantages: Who on earth needs a Turkish steambath and a sauna... More

It´s a bit harsh to mark us down for having a sauna & steam room! We don´t charge extra for them and we´re not going to force anyone inside them :) I´d also say the neighbourhood here is nice, I´ve lived here for 7 months, never had any trouble and I think it´s a place with a really nice a... More

Was told great things about this hostel and was hugely disappointed. Book for 3 nights and only stay one. Horrible internet, ants all over my bed, room had mold in it, staff were rude, bar was a rip off. Hostel is miles from anywhere. Let me down

I´m sorry to hear you had problems with the staff. I was travelling in Panama when you visited the hostel, I did hear about some issues with those members of staff when I returned and they have since been removed from the hostel. We do everything possible to create a happy and friendly atmosphere here and I hope you can... More
