El mejor calidad precio
Increíble ambiente, la familia super amable y todo limpio. Son muy serviciales y siempre intentan ayudarte en todo lo que puedan. El desayuno es muy consistente y muy bueno, con tostadas, tortillas, café y smoothie.

It's a small house but just perfect for a short stay in Ella. The family is so nice and friendly. It seems like they genuinely like guests and try to help you with anything you need. The breakfast was great.

Avoid this scamming hostel
I have made a booking through the site and after few minutes property owner called me and told that they will not accommodate locals in the hostel. This is a such a racist thing they are doing…
