“Lovely staff, great location and very clean!”

The best

Loved the staff! They were super nice, friendly and helpful. Big shoutout to Jonathan and Tomi. The location could not be any better, right beside the walled town and super close to the beach. The rooftop has spectacular views too, and the place is extremely clean.

The sofa in the "hang out" room was kind of broken so there wasn't a comfy space to chill apart from the bed and of course the rooftop, but ultimately you are not there to chill on the sofa ;D

“good for hosting a day near the city center; bad for long stay kite surfing.”

The best

Close to Puerta de Jerez, the entrance to Tarifa old town.

To be improved

I wouldn't call it a kite hostel, almost all the guests are visiting for party or passing by Tarifa for a day. The party thing also shows up in the nights when guests come wasted to your room and disrupt your sleep. I wouldn't book again for living the kite surfing vibe, there are better options for that, and cheaper!

4.5/5

“The hostel is located in a charming old building that still features its original flooring, which adds a lot of character and authenticity to the atmosphere. The rooms are spread over two levels — ground floor and first floor — whilst the second floor offers a panoramic terrace with a beautiful view of Morocco. It’s a truly special spot to relax and enjoy the scenery while enjoing your dinner. There aren't many showers/toilets, but they are clean and we never found them crowded during our stay. The hostel is centrally located in Tarifa, which makes it very convenient for exploring the town. Although it wasn’t the cheapest accommodation I booked during this trip, it was probably the best one I found in Tarifa — a place that, in general, seems to have slightly higher prices compared to other locations in Andalusia. I would definitely recommend this hostel. · Cons: The only thing that didn’t really impress me was the kitchen, which felt a bit run-down, not very clean and could do with some renovation.”
