    The hostel is really well organized. great common spaces to keep food, both on shelves and refrigerated, nice kitchen and living room. James is really a great host, always available for advice and help. there's a timetable with all events both in the village and in the hostel: one night we had dinner all together and was really fun. wonderful place, quite, on the beach and near (10 mins) to the tofo market (that's good).... really a great stay.

    Pure paradise, I can only recommend this place. I visited Tofo for the 2nd time this year and I could not have been happier about my stay: comfortable room, great service (always with a smile), beautiful sun deck right on the beach and an amazing atmosphere. Hostess Ria went out of her way to give us the best possible time in Tofo. I had to work a couple of days during my stay and could do so with the best view of the beach. Already looking forward to my next visit!

    My stay at Lehani Hostel was unforgettable! The location right by Tofo Beach was amazing, with stunning ocean views and easy access to the sand. The hostel had a welcoming, social atmosphere, making it easy to meet other travelers. The staff was very friendly and always ready to help. The rooms were very comfortable, offering a cozy retreat after a day of adventure. The highlight for me was the chance to try surfing and to easily blend with the local community – the instructors were fantastic, and I had a blast! The laid-back vibe of the place allowed me to truly relax and enjoy the natural beauty of the area. If you’re looking for a place to unwind, meet people, and enjoy beach life, Lehani Hostel is the perfect spot!

    It's hard to come up with anything that could have been missing during my stay at Lehani's. To be fair, if I had any expectations, those were wildly overthrown. To summarise: - The location is a dream. Waking up to the sound of the waves in the background, then having first-row sea-view breakfast or a yoga session on the wooden balcony. - A fully-equipped kitchen to do your own thing. Fridge, freezer, pots, pans, coffee machine - everything's there. There's even free filtered water. - I stayed in the dorm, which had very comfortable mattresses, no-hole mosquito nets and hot showers. - Wifi all over the place, including the balcony, strong enough to be able to work comfortably, even watch YT videos in HD. - Just a super relaxed vibe in general and the friendliest hostel owner, Ria, who's there with a smile if you have any questions, need some information or just wanna chat. I've stayed in more than 100 hostels. Lehani features my top 5. I think that says it all :).

    Ria, the owner, runs an excellent hostel. She is very warm, friendly and inviting, as are the staff who are constantly working, cleaning and maintaining the beautiful property. Very clean rooms and grounds and a huge well stocked kitchen. Location is outstanding and I highly recommend staying here. Plus, you get 5% discount at Tofo SCUBA.

    Absolutely loved my stay at Lehani's and can only recommend it! I ended up staying for a week and would always go back. The location of the hostel is right on Tofo Beach and just a short walk away from the village center and restaurants. The place has a great atmosphere, and a spacious kitchen with wonderful staff - all in all, it felt like a home away from home.

    Lehani Hostel in Tofo has easily become one of my favorite places to stay during my travels. From the moment I arrived, it felt like home, thanks to the incredible staff—Ria, Frans, and Chico, who are all so friendly and attentive. They truly go out of their way to make sure you have a fantastic stay. The hostel itself is spotless, probably the cleanest I’ve experienced during my entire trip. The rooms are comfortable, and the beds come with mosquito nets, which is a nice touch. Waking up to the sound of the ocean and the breathtaking beach views every morning is an absolute highlight. You couldn’t ask for a better location—right on the beach, with dive shops, the local market, and restaurants just a short walk away. If you're looking for activities, there's no shortage of things to do. Whether it's diving, surfing, yoga, dance classes, or movie nights, there's always something to keep you busy. I especially enjoyed the group dinners and the vibrant social atmosphere, which made it easy to meet other travelers. All in all, I can't recommend Lehani enough. Whether you're here for the adventure or simply to relax by the beach, it's the perfect place to stay in Tofo. I'll definitely be coming back!
