The hostelhostelatmosphere was very familial, the hostelhostelstaff (most of them also live there) are all very easy-going and open-minded people. Even during winter there's plenty of things to do in nature aroundthethethe hostel, from surfing, biking, to hiking or just relaxing inthe hostel beautiful living room next tothe hostel fireplace. the hostelhostelwork is mainly housekeeping and definitely provided me with some new helpful skills. Staying inthethe hostel hostelis comfortable, as it is very clean and there is a big kitchen you can cook in (and where you'll always meet lovely people).I am grateful for this experience and would love to come back!
