Everything was amazing!

When you enter Hostel 23 and Las Terrenas the time stops and you start living in another dimension! The community in Hostel 23 is amazing, the staff is very friendly and they make you feel at home! I will definitely come back!

Everything is just amazing here!

This place is magical like everyone is saying, the hosts and staff- amazing people!!!! You feel at home here, one big family. It is clean, well organized and if you are looking to socialize this is the place! Unfortunately ( because of personal reasons) I had to stay for 1 night, but this place is just amazing! Close to the beach, maybe 10, 15 minutes by walk, free coffee during the morning, the dogs are just sweet! Attention to details ( perfume in the room). Thank you for your hospitality! ❤️

Don't stay there if you want to go to sleep before 11pm. There's music in the evening which is usually pretty loud.

Very big common area. Nice atmosphere and nice staff. They sometimes organize activities like dance lessons or group dinner.

Location, far from the beach...

best facilities, 2 stoves!

Only cold water in the shower, a bit disappointing. No mosquito nets over the beds, it was actually the only place during my trip that was missing them.

Great location in the center of the town but hidden from the main street in a small park-like area. Nice staff. Clean. No keys to the room, just the code, so you don't need to carry them. The terrace by the room is a great place to eat and socialize.

The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with a smile. The common areas were clean, cozy, and perfect for meeting other travelers. The rooms were comfortable and well-maintained, and I appreciated the attention to detail in ensuring a safe and secure environment.

Some of the mattresses would need changing

The hostel has a great vibe. Everyone ends up one big family thanks to the amazing hosts. It is well located and allows you to easily walk to most places you need.

Honestly, this is the best hostel I’ve been to so far. The rooms are clean, beds with curtains and plenty of space in your private locker. If you want there’s private room options as well. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need and lots of things free to use. Drinking water is for free as well. Chinola is cooking family dinners now and then and for just 300-400 pesos you’ll get an amazing meal. Location is nice, easy to walk to beaches and bars, Supermarkets near by and it feels safe even walking on my own at night time. People here try to give you the best experience: helping out with questions, connecting everyone in a WhatsApp group, going out together at night, joining dance classes together and first of all being super friendly and generous. I’m looking forward to come back soon.

I highly recommend this hostel if you are staying in Las Terrenas. The location makes everything easier. In less than 10min walk you will find yourself at the beach. There are supermarkets and restaurants nearby too. The staff and the owners are so welcoming, they even hang out and go out with the guests. The backpacking atmosphere in the common area makes you travel even more. A 10 out of 10.

The place could've been cleaner, especially the dorm bathroom, but it's difficult to keep the sand and stuff out when you're close to the beach I suppose.

The people at Hostel 23 welcome you like family and give a lot of help and assistance. There's a great kitchen and lounge area to relax in and chat to other guests. There's a really good cafe at the end of the driveway, and other places to eat are not far away.

Beautiful house just taken over by a dynamic multilingual young couple working hard to bring it to its former glory. While some facilities (most notably showers) are yet to be updated, the hostel already has everything you may need – responsive staff, well-equipped kitchen, reliable wifi, great safe location, big communal areas, and warm hospitality. Went from booking for 1 night to staying a full week. P.S. Recent name change gets taxi drivers take you to a wrong address. Hostel access road is directly opposite El Pan de Antes bakery.

The entrance cam be hard to find , and for the moment, the address on booking wasn't good. Look for the bakery El pan de antes , in front there is a small dirt road . The housse is the big one (you might be hearing music already ☺️) Climb up the stairs and here you are

My stay at the hostel , like everybody , has longer than expected since the place is so fantastic. You ll find find a very friendly staff, the owners are really both amazing persons from who I learned a lot either about the culture , the dishes and the music. I ll surely come back there

Best hostel I have stayed in the Dominican Republic so far, family style, good vibes, the owners are very nice and helpful. Good location, close to restaurants, supermarket, night life at a walking distance. I booked for 2 nights and ended up staying a week.

There was no hot water in the showers. When I arrived at the hostel all the bottom beds were taken, and I upgraded to a single room but I don't think it was worth it. It was very sparse, they were very few outlets for power.

This place was okay. The kitchen was huge. The staff was great! This would not be my first choice if I was coming back to this area.

Stayed in January 2025

The private room was very big. I think they could add curtains so all the sun light doesn't enter the room. The staff was really nice.
