Amazing!!”
It’s my second time at the hostel and I love this place! The owner is very helpful and friendly and has worked hard to make the place even better. It's my favorite place and I always stay here when I'm on vacation in South Florida. I recommend it to all my friends.

Hoosville is funky fun!”
If you like hostel travelling this place is very cool. I was looking for an inexpensive but fun place for my kids and I to stay so we could see the Coral Castle. My 14 year old loved the rope tree house and swimming in the awesome rock spring and my tiny 9 year old autistic son loved the macrame tree swing. I will say that for small kids there are some safety issues, one being the yard rooster who doesn't like children and will charge them. He got my youngest pretty good. Also you want everyone to wear close toed shoes in the yard because there are many broken glass shards in the gravel. Around the outer edge of the yard are some safety issues, boards with nails sticking out, trip hazards etc. Hoosville is perfect for the teens-early 20's travelers who like the backpack life and the funkiness. The best part is the little groovy details all around. The staff are really nice and try to be accommodating. The gazebo and the kitchen are fun although we missed the make-your-own pancakes on suspension due to Covid. All in all we enjoyed our time there, the casual atmosphere, the tetherball and yard activities, the nice tv room with a piano in it and the fun of sleeping in bunk beds that were surprisingly comfortable for this 40 year old mama.

Funky garden ”
The owner Michael and manager Charlie are both very helpful. The cleanliness of the kitchen need improvement. The garden is well designed with fountains, outdoor seats and a tree house. Some guests are not respectful. Overall okay.

Close to the keys and Everglades, nice hostel to plan your excursions.”
All amenities are available from kitchen to washing machine. Easy to make some meals and plan your day. Chris was very helpful with showing the hostel and things to do in the area.

Safe place ”
Staff is very friendly and takes care of you. You can feel safe. Clean room , nice garden, you will find everything you need. Some strange people, but also very friendly. Very good place to start a tour to key west or into the Everglades.

Cozy home away from home”
The only reason I am not giving it a 5-star rating is because it's not. But its cozy and unique. Lots of improvement is needed, and I am sure most would agree it serves its purpose for now. It's decent and bed is clean and comfortable. Hope I can check it out again in the future.

Not worth it”
Pros: If you are visiting the Everglades National Park or want to day trip to the Keys, the located is perfect. Cons: The hostel is under renovation, but this was not disclosed prior to or during the booking-found out upon arrival. There was only ONE working bathroom (shower/toilet in the same bathroom) for ALL the rooms (single and dormitory) to share. There were lines of people waiting to use the bathroom and shower all morning and through the night. The second night we stayed, there were people taking a shower each time I or my partner tried to use the bathroom from 9pm through 3am and again from 6am through 10am when we finally just gave up and checked out. The bathroom was always dirty because it was always in use. If they know they only have 1 bathroom, they should have said so during the booking. There is an outdoor shower and 1 toilet in the kitchen, but it was raining the 2 days we were there, so pointless. Disappointing and a waste of time. Would not stay again.

In a pinch”
Bathroom for the two private rooms to share was out of order. No hot water in shower. It was a nice vibe and the staff was friendly enough

Cheap and still not worth it”
I stayed in a room that over-poweringly smelled of mildew, so much so it was hard to get to sleep. Shared bathroom was in almost constant use so had to search for other bathrooms to use when needed. It is a cheap place and still not worth it. I would not recommend it. The staff member who showed me around, however, was very nice and the water feature was nice.

Made a mistake”
I seen great reviews and I couldn't resist I rented a room. First couldn't even find the door to go in. When I finally rang the bell I had to wait on the street as homeless stared at me. A drug deal went on just a few feet away. When inside we were left to wait for over a half hour as they cleaned a room at 7 o'clock at night. They had no idea we were coming even though this ap said it would let them know. We felt like a burden . The owner was there and didn't even look up and say hello. Just let his staff reluctantly get a room together. Once finally in a room is when I relized this sight only asked as a suggestion for a "large" bed. And special accommodations to have a private bathroom. Well there is not one . You share. The walk through was very brief and overwhelming when the entire experience was not what I thought. The room was completely sealed off and humid with cleaning supplies which sent my spouse into an asthma attack. We left after a few hours. While leaving the was homeless asleep on the couch they had us sit on just a few hours before. She was covered in towels!, When we went outside my car was broken into to top it off. A couple things about the room. The door was so loud to open and shut it woke me up the instant my spouse has to use the restroom. The smke detector was dangling from the ceiling. The floor was super sticky and we could even take off our shoes. The blinds were ripped up in the bathroom and it was also in need of cleaning. The widow was open in there. I did not enjoy these few hours at all.

Thumbs up for Hoosville Hostel”
Excellent Hostel! The staff was very helpful; they emailed back immediately when I had a questions before I arrived, went out of their way to accommodate me when I needed a place to hang up scuba gear to dry, and gave great tips for getting where I was going. I stayed in a mixed room with several other very considerate and friendly people. My dorm room had a key card lock so only the occupants could enter. Hoosville supplied sheets, a blanket and pillow. Our room had an attached bathroom but there were several other shower/bathroom options on the same floor if you didn't want to wait. I noticed some lockers near another room; our room had no lockers but this was not a problem as the room was secure, I trusted the other travelers and was able to keep anything else in my rental car. Nice laid back vibe, easy to find and centrally located. Close enough to Key Largo that I stayed here and drove there each day to dive. I will stay here again!

Thank you for your review Damien!
Hostel near Everglades”
We stayed one night on our tour of the Everglades. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The public areas are great, with a spacious yard, relaxation area, tables, kitchen, and TV room. There is also a spring fed pool on the property. The bed itself is basic, but the sheets were given on check in and were clean. Unlike the outside common areas, the interior areas, including dorms, hallways, and bathrooms definitely need an update. It looked quite run down. As for the room itself, your experience will vary with who you stay with. It's a hostel!

Bang for the Buck”
For the price you really can't go wrong. If you are fine with no frills accommodations this is your spot! Great location as both Everglades and Biscayne are nearby. Key Largo is a short 30min drive as well. I would definitely come back!

Loved My Stay!”
I love how cozy the atmosphere was and how the staff always made sure the place was clean. I couldn't help but stay an extra night to make most of the backyard and all it has to offer. Peaceful environment and friendly folk. Fridge, kitchen, sinks and everything you need for practical purposes. Treehouse, gazebo, hammocks and lawn chairs to make sure you are extra comfortable.
