I had a great time here painting murals in containers that were transformed to showers and bathrooms. The host was very kind and made sure I had everything. The other staff were also very friendly, especially Alan. The place is peaceful with a great view of sea the and near one of the main beaches. Thank you for a great 3 weeks !

I made a motorbike and lochness monster. I loved getting to the Alan and other other hostel staff and hanging out with the girls who work at upsidow. Alex was super… read more

This is the perfect place if you are looking for a project that helps you unleash your own creativity and resourcefulness. Highly recommended to everyone who loves recycling and up-cycling things.
