“Estafa”
This place is a scam. They charged us for the reservation, but when the traveler arrived, immigration was told that there was no reservation under their name. Because of this false information, the traveler was sent back to their country. This caused serious problems and financial loss. Please be careful when booking this property.

“Best value in Aruba! 🇦🇼”
Best deal you can get as a backpacker in Aruba. Great facilities with pool and cosy evening sitting area. Good AC in room. In a residential neighbourhood about 20 min walk from downtown. I had a great time!

The Property: the property itself is pretty nice, with a big yard with pool and well maintained areas just to chill out at any part of the day, especially in the evening. There are several rooms. I stayed in the 4 bunk beds dorm, which was pretty comfortable when the aircon was on (remember that Aruba is a tropical destination e the heat sometimes hits hard). Location: it is not that close to town (Oranjestad). It is just 15 minutes walk to where all the action stands. Being honest, this is not a problem at all. Despite the fact that the neighborhood is so quite and nice to take a walk. There's also a supermarket nearby and some restaurants. Facilities: there is a bathroom exclusively for dorm guests. Nice pool, as I mentioned before and some cozy places to stay and have a beer at the end of a full day of touring in the island. The host: There are several rules that the host demands from the guests, which I can fully understand. As she used to say: any rule has its reasons. Overall, I was amazingly treated and had a good time there.

“Aruba! One Happy Island! Yes it is, loved it!”
Very convenient location. Very agreeable pricing. The manager/owner, Barbara, runs a tight ship but that's good when your over 40 and want to leave the rowdy parties for the beach and not be up all night.
