Thank you, Jimmy. You have impacted my life in more ways than one. For travelers, I am a solo female African American and can say I felt 100% safe and welcomed here. Jimmy is incredibly knowledgably and very welcoming. His mission here is admirable, pay what you can and donate if you can, and chores are required unless you donate …
Five stars for Jimmy for having such a thoughtful initiative. In days where humanity is taking a dip, he's still trying to do his part to preserve it. I loved the concept of the hostel, and my time there was wonderful as well. I stayed for a night and was the only one staying there. As everyone has already mentioned, …
Me and 5 other guys stayed here on a Thursday night before a 3 day backpacking trip on the coast. Based on the mix of ultra positive reviews and occasional frustrations from people who wanted a typical hotel experience from this, I think it would be good to add our experience of the trip.

Jimmy was a great host. Very friendly and welcoming. The accommodations were great. I surely will come back.

I stayed here a few years back. Jimmy is a wonderful man and I’ve never felt safer while traveling alone than I did while staying at his home. I hope I get to visit him again someday.
I have so much to say about this beautiful, hidden gem. I must admit, after reading a few Google reviews, I began doubting my choice of booking. This is my first time in the United States and, as a female solo traveller, safety is always my first priority. However, I NEVER once felt unsafe or scared once I arrived. Jimmy …
This was a truly awesome stay and I wish I could’ve spent another night! Young solo female traveller here and I felt 1000% safe! The guy is super sweet and wants the best for the world - the host will tell you his mission for the hostel and he obviously appreciates the guests point of view too. I stayed a …
