    Rooms were bit noisy. A lot of Argentinians there so it helps if you know a little Spanish.

    Nice pool, communal spaces, friendly staff, great staff member who plays guitar.

    My experience at Che Lagarto it hasn't been oustanding . Staff wasn't really empathetic , bathrooms almost all the time dirty due to the amount of people ( I suggest to clean more often during the day ). The facilities were okey but, specially one kitchen , really messy . Location is good, really close to the main bus stops.

    I wanted to longer my stay in the hostel, I paid in the property because there wasn’t place on booking. Then my plans was changed and I asked to cancel my nights and get back my money. They didn’t give me back the money, even no a little bit of it. So if you longer your stay, do it just through booking!

    Great facilities, great rooms, very clean, very nice pool and the workers was very nice.

    in the morning people were talking really loud outside which was annoying.

    the staff was really nice. it‘s easy to meet new people there. the location was near the bus station and also just a 5 minute walk to get to the center.

    The water of the showers was disgusting, it was super sticky and kind of gross. After shower you felt more discomfort than before.

    The pool area is nice, free caipirinha one evening

    two from the staff 1. blonde girl, 2. guy with a long hair. i dont know their names, but they weren’t nice at all, i think its because my spanish/portugese was a little bad, so they were rude and it felt like they dont want to service us. one night the shower had a problem, when you touch the thing that you spin to release the water, gave little electric shock and the water was with chlorine, we told this problem to the blonde girl, she just wrote something in her notebook and didnt even try to give us any solution like show us where the other showers are.

    it was nice and clean, very simple and cozy, very live atmosphere and good location. there was this friendly two staff: Fernando was very nice and very welcoming, tried to help at everything he could, I dont know her name but she wear glasses and with dark hair, she also was very nice and very welcoming.

    Maybe 1 fruit could be added to the breakfast... it's just bread, cake and jam.

    This place is super nice, my second Che Lagarto! Everything went good.

    Staff wasn't a friendliest. But the worst thing was probably the most disgusting pool water I have seen. Not clean at all, many strange particles floating in it. I'm not sure why they are not cleaning it because it has a filtration system. Somebody needs to change that water fast. Not the best Che I've seen.

    Good location and spacious hostel

    Some of the stuff was extremely rude. Also others didn't even bother to answer some of the questions I had about the boat trips they were selling. There are 4 toilets in the whole hostel so there was a queue no matter what time you tried to take a shower or use the toilet ( they were together). Almost always they were discussingly dirty. Very noisy hostel. In theory they turn off the music at 11pm, but people still talk really loud, banging the doors and no one is doing anything about it. I was assigned in the 4 people room and was extremely small. The under the bed closets was rusty and dirty.

    The breakfast was nice, it's really close to the bus station, they have some nice hammocks you can chill in

    Just a little noisey but nothing terrible. The staff would enforce the curfew when the time came.

    The rooms were clean and amazing. The bathrooms were good with hot water in the showers. The beds are comfortable with an air-conditioning that wasn't freezing. The location was amazing, breakfast was good

    The rooms were really small. Was in a 4 bed dorm, had no place at all to put the kuggage outside of the locker. - aircon was in the gangwaay, we needed to leave the door open to get some cold air in. - one Bathroom with shower for the whole floor (20 people), leads to really long waiting times.

    The staff weren’t very helpful and seemed a bit annoyed to be asked questions about activities etc. maybe it is because a lot of European and international clients can be rude and drunk a lot of the time but we were very respectful and just wanted some advice/ help booking surfing and boat rides

    Good location, comfortable enough although bathrooms were dirty, the electric shower gave electric chocks when trying to change

    The hostel is no clean, rooms are really narrow and the storage boxes are really uncomfortable to put your bags. This hostel also has fewer bathrooms for the quantity of people staying there. If u can it is best not to stay there
