I´ve loved the place. The staff is very friendly. The location is quite far from the laguna, but manageable if you get there by car. The rooms are crazy. made with cement. if you are scared of tiny places, then it is not your type of hostel. every room has cold air and you can simply jump from your bed into the amazing swimming pool. If you are looking for a spartan location, then it is perfect, no unnecessary items, you great experience. There is also a restaurant inside.
