Reviews of Hostel de Haan

Very handy, very clean, plenty of space, centrally located, excellent, friendly staff, excellent price.

You would have to make something up on purpose to make a complaint.

Enjoyed the location and pool. There is a club across the street so bring earplugs if you're a light sleeper. Nice secured parking. Close to the beach for taking in the gorgeous sunsets and the main street.

Brilliant location near the beach. Swimming pool.

It is a hostel. I had a private room with bathroom. BASIC is the key work. Ripped towels, uncomfortable mattress, rough sheets, no AC…..but what does one expect from a backpackers hostel? The place works as a place to sleep and shower and the price is reasonable. I booked for six nights but had to check out after four nights because of a local friend’s serious illness; there was no mention of a refund in point of fact. (I didn’t ask for one but an offer from the front would have been appreciated under the circumstances.) Overall I was not satisfied with my experience at Hostel de Haan but I believe the place works for many travellers..

The staff is incredible. The owner is the sweetest and truly makes you feel so welcome and part of the family.

I would not recommend this hostel.

They didn’t provide a refund for a second night I no longer needed.

Super close to the beach, a decently equipped kitchen. Overall good value.

pretty uncomfortable beds and not super clean rooms, loud environment.

It's relatively cheap, it's a brilliant location, has a pool and it has 24 hour security

obviously it's very basic, but it doesn't really feel like a hostel. There no frills whatsoever. Whatever your expectations of you've booked is, lower it another 20%.

The pool was very nice.

The music next door was very loud and didn’t end until 1am.

I wasn’t able to enjoy it due to absent attendant. No responsible party present to check me into my room.

Property was in a good location close to the beach with nice pool.

On of the staff (the head of staff) was so rude. It started with when I arrived, instantly he asked me to leave before I even had time to tell him that I had a booking with them. He was always smig and standoffish and was also there at 11 am in the dot trying to remove me from the room despite the cleaning lady mentioning check out is at 1 pm and the page at 12 midday. They also charged an unreasonable exchange rate over 30 coronas over the market exchange value. I have visited a lot of hostels over the years and traveled a lot and I have to say the staff member with the glasses is perhaps the rudest I have ever met. Apologies but I have to say something, as if I was the owner I would not want someone like that working for me. There was also uncleaned vomit under the sink. In all sincerity -Hugo

The manager was very kind and decoration is hipi surf style

Host/owner is so friendly and helpful. Rooms are clean. Basic what you expect at a hostel. Pool really is an extra bonus beautiful. Kitchen is well equipped. Very close to the beach. Cute bar across the street and a couple cute restaurants.

Nothing all good.

Excellent location handy to everything.

a little noisy some nights
