Gava Hostel

Perfect location, feels like a home. Perfect hosts. I stayed here for almost 8 days. Really satisfied. Andrew and Valentino are like parents to people who stay there. They arranged some tours and gave us some information. You can easily access to the beach and restuarant or market to buy groceries

This was a great location at the heart of Punta Cana, within a walking distance to the beach. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Valentine was extremely accommodating to our needs. We also ended up making new friends by the end of our stay!

My travel didn't start easy in the Dominican Republic.I started in another hotel...nobody spoke English and I couldn't find any travellers around me...just tourists on a resort vacation.I found out about Gava hostel and Valentina and Andrey let me sleep there although they actually didn't have space anymore.They helped me with everything and made me feel happy again.In the end they even helped me planning my travel through the Dominican Republic.I highly recommend this hostel because of this beautiful owners I will never forget. Go there and start your travel and you will be happy for sure. Thanks for everything🙏❤️ Isa

Valentina and her partner are one of the best host for accommodation I had. Communication before checking was good, they always want to make sure that you are ok during the visit the country, they gave good tips for travelling around, shops supermarkets and affordable restaurants. On arrival Valentina advised very well on excursions, surroundings, things to do, I was so glad that I booked my excursions with them as they know the best companies at good price and is fun to go with other people who are also staying at GAVA Hostel, I strongly recommend booking all the excursions with them. The accommodation itself is a small flat, very cosy and easy to meet other travellers, kitchen with all you need, toilet and a good size bathroom, nice front garden, beds where comfortable, clean, the whole flat was plotless clean, the room was small but enough for 4 people, fans where provided, quiet to sleep at night, beach 5-10 minutes walk with nice disco bar. I asked for a lower bunk bed and was reserved by them, anything that they can do, to make your stay more comfortable they will do it, they asked If I needed anything during my stay to let them know, shower towels provided. Good location near the beach, near supermarkets and shops. I would stay here again if I come back to Punta Cana, affordable price for the area. No AC in the room, although fans are provided, not much negative feedback apart from that, they are super nice people.
