Wild farm stay.

Beautifull farm with fantastic views, mountains and sea, sunsets and sunrises. Interesting guests and nice vibe. Lovely outdoor deck where guests can relax and enjoy the views. Room comfortable and nice hot shower, clean. Blinds cannot be openen properly, broken ties. Communal kitchen and lounge area available for guests. Unfortunately, untidy, not clean, utensils, crockery and appliances tacky, some broken and not clean. Poor housekeeping and maintenance of all areas. Outdoor areas not well maintained. Grass too long, slippery areas where a proper path or steps could help, rubbish bin overflowing. Staff have a don't care attitude.

The view is stunning but the facility is filthy

This was a very bad experience. They could not find my booking. Then when I finally checked in my rooms were filled with other people. The place is filthy to say the least.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The view from the hostel is amazing and definitely the best thing about the place. There is quite a lively atmosphere when there a few people staying but it's pretty far from the town unless you have a car (and even then you need to be careful if you've got a rental). We stayed in a double room and it was quite dirty. Not sure if the linen had been changed because there was hair, stains and lots of pieces on it. Plus I found a few bed bugs on the bed which we managed to kill with some spray. Breakfast is pretty standard toast and jam with a few apples to pick from and the food you can order for dinner isn't bad. For the price its OK but couldn't say the place was clean.
