  • We absolutely lovede our time at Caravella. The staff were brilliant - really easy to talk to, and helpful when your were looking to book a trip. We booked all of ours through Hannah, and we loved all of the trips we went on, so 'Thank you' :-) The location was great too, really close to all the action but far enough away to be able to get a good night's sleep. The rooms had a/c and were really spacious and clean - we even had our very own resident gecko to keep the flies at bay! Great hostel!!!

  • The staff is friendly and very helpful and the kitchen in cleaned every day, so is the bathroom. The rooms could me more decorated. A big plus is the fridge in every room. Sometimes it is a bit noisy in the morning but all in all it's quiet during the day and night. Caravellas is definitely worth the money you pay!!!
