Guest Houses in Almáciga

Casanaga is one of maybe a handful of hostels around the world that I've been to (several dozens) that has really left nothing to be desired at all. First of all, the surrounding area and nature is nothing short of breathtaking! Several not crowded beaches at walking distance, which are also popular and pretty good for surfing (although maybe less so for beginners). The mountains in the back offer great hikes with stunning views for all levels and desires. The town is a bit sleepy, which I consider a nice change from the hustle and bustle elsewhere on the island. Here you are actually more likely to bump into a local (or a bunch of cats) than into other tourists. The hostel itself isn't huge, so it has a really personal atmosphere to it. You quickly stop to feel like a guest and rather become a (new) friend with everybody around, including the staff. Ollie the owner (a genuinely nice guy and true character) is present almost all day and looking after many of the things himself. He and the whole lovely crew have given so much thought into nearly every detail. They are super organised (cards accepted!), yet still relaxed and flexible enough for individual requests and wishes (reasonable ones). The breakfast is really big and varied and the optional dinners are just fantastic and very fairly priced. They keep a small selection of drinks that includes surprisingly good wines (both red and white), again at reasonable prices. Beds are huge and comfortable (for hostel standards), facilities are really clean, the kitchen is big and has all one could wish for. There is enough space and hangers for everybody's things plus a big desk for digital nomads or people who still need to organise parts of their trip or work on something else. The highlight is probably the rooftop terrace where also the meals are served, with a wonderful view over the coastline.

Overall look, the cleanliness, nice stuff.

Amazingly original decoration. Location perfect. Good communication. Welcomed on arrival. Good breakfast.Great homely ambiance. Rooftop terrace. Paola was very helpful and pleasant.

staff is great; nice and quiet atmosphere; everything is super clean; fully equipped kitchen

One very helpful and intelligent staff member, as one might expect from the Euskadi. Cheap, quieter than the awful hostel I had come from. Some trees and vegetation on the grounds and a pool.

really nice place, very comfortable bed and super clean. The Hosts were also very friendly and welcoming

The location is quite good. They allowed me to leave my luggage a few buildings near the accommodation.
