Lukas, the very friendly volunteer, is very diligent in his work keeping the hostel very very clean. The showers are really nice with plenty of hot water! The hostel is in a cute old town on the NW side of the island where the masses of mainstream tourists don't stay. Therefore it keeps its charm. The hostel tends to be mostly people over 30 or 35 or so, which means nobody is drinking much alcohol and being loud and drunk late at night, like the hostels in Las Palmas, which are known for being full of loud party hardy 20 year olds. This hostel doesn't allow smoking on the roof terrace, which is the best thing about the hostel, because all other hostels on the island allow smoking on their rooftop terraces. Quiet hours after 10pm are mostly adhered to and respected, so there aren't any loud conversations happening after 10pm. Most people go to sleep around then.

What's not to like. Beautiful, loving and kind people in a picturesque setting sharing their wonderful slice of tranquility on the mountain. The breakfast and dinner were always great and in January, our dinner was had in a cozy shared space where you get to share stories with fellow guests. Breakfast we had overlooking the mountains in the rising sun. We also really loved Simba the cat, always up to no good and looking for love and boisterous Shanty the dog. We rented a car and were happy with the central location so we could explore every crevice of the island within the hour. But even without a car, there are walks and places to visit close by as well and you can just rejuvenate enjoying the peace and quiet. I only wished we could've stayed longer. Thank you for your kindness and hospitality, Filippo and Natasha.

I got a solo room on the 2nd floor that was INCREDIBLE. Clean, comfortable, window, bright, shared clean bathroom, little closet. was perfect. Great experience. everyone who works there is so nice. helpful and friendly I can't say enough good things about them. It's a comfy place loved the atmosphere. just don't stay in the ground floor by the front door. it sucks and is horrible should be discounted heavily. Wonderful place!!!

This is the best place if you want to meet new people! I had an amazing stay here, surrounded by amazing people, it was easy to feel soon at home! The hostel has everything: an amazing rooftop, an equipped kitchen if you want to cook your food, a laundry, and it's just right next to the beach and to many bars/restaurants. It's also close to the bus station of Santa Catalina, which is very useful if you want to travel across the island. Would definitely stay there again!

Great location, just by the beach and only 15min away by foot from the bus station. The hostel has a rooftop which is very nice too. The staff is easygoing and always ready to help you with whatever you need :)

One of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed at. The location is perfect (right next to the beach), it’s very clean and the staff is great. The hostel’s ambiance makes it easy to make friends and I will never forget all memories we’ve made together. I loved the outdoor kitchen on the rooftop terrace. The hostel also organises fun activities, like a delicious pancake brunch. Thank you so much Ipek, Diego, Gigi and Xiuzhen of Ventana Azul!

The location is amazing. Reading reviews we were expecting a filthy hovel and unhelpful staff. But actually the volunteers were lovely and it was pretty clean. It is as you'd expect for a hostel. Good and cheap bar too.

Hostel has great location, two blocks from San Telmo bus terminal, if you are planning explore the whole island, this is it. Buses from/to airport. Very good equipped kitchen. Bathrooms basic but passable. Room clean, big bunk beds but mattress is very thin so there is no real comfort , very hard. Overall stay fulfilled my expectations though.

The communication with the hosts was super nice. The hosts were very friendly, already from the beginning with the check in. The place itself is very well located, in a few minutes you are in front of the beach. The bed I stayed in was very comfortable and everything in the hostel was clean and tidy. The hosts made sure that even though the place was new, everything was taken care of if we needed something. It's a perfect place to meet new people and at the same time take your own time if you would like to. I would definitely book again!
