This review is based on staying in the Nemby Small room, not in the dorms. We spent one night in the dorm and were constantly jarred awake by doors slamming shut.

The Nemby Small was above and beynd my expectations and beyond every private room I've ever stayed at in a hostel. It was secluded and quiet. The rooms were all recently renovated, clean and comfortable. The bathroom was huge, the TV had cable and a DVD player. The room had steady wireless access. The bedroom opens onto a screened porch with seating and a mini-kitchen, which was really nice and well-appointed. Just outside the door is a papazan for two with a little shade. A washer and dryer are right outside the room, which is extremely convenient. We parked off-street in the courtyard, which was also very convenient.

The property itself is fun and beautiful, with charming features like a treehouse, fire pits, a pizza oven and roaming chickens. Free pancakes and coffee for breakfast are always nice.

We went on the all-day Everglades tour, which was spectacular and well worth the money. Our tour guide (I forgot his name - sorry!) was funny and informative. I feel like we saw every aspect of the park and learned a lot.

I would highly recommend this hostel and the tour to anyone.

The natural and scenic beauty are what this trip is about. Our surrounding on the hike into the swamp was an adventure but once you got past the 20 degrees water & mud on your feet you appreciated what you were there for. The adventure is filled with beautiful cypress trees surrounding you with orchids, bromeliads and natural fauna at every turn. Okay of course there are alligators in the natural habit slumbering in the sun and not caring too much you were walking around. Lunch is provided at Flamingo with a beautiful view of the ocean and off for another adventure part 2 of kayaking between the little ponds of flamingo. They are filled with natural wildlife and among the mangroves make for a great trip. Our trip leader "Jeremy was filled with tidbits of educational information and obviously loves what he is doing. We enjoyed him and his enthusiasm that he had the entire trip. Great adventure to try and enjoy the natural beauty the Everglades has for all of us. Natural Tresure...

Garden was beautiful there was very nice common room and good people!

I stayed at this hostel because it had amazing reviews. It's not a bad hostel indeed, but I think it is overrated, I have stayed in at least 10 hostels that are way better than this one. Rooms are just ok, and there are no lockers. On the other hand, location is very good for the Everglades. They even rent bikes and drop you off at the park, which is great. Overall, I would pick it again but don't expect to be impressed.
