I had an absolute great time at Gava! Valentina and Andrew were very warm and welcoming hosts, and their hostel is quite cute. Strongly recommend staying here, especially since it’s so conveniently located next to the beach.

Had such a great time at Gava! Valentina and Andrew were both so sweet, and they gave me such great tips for what to do and where to go. The hostel was very clean; you can tell they put a lot of effort into keeping the area tidy! The hostel itself is basically a room off of the main apartment with 4 beds in it, and all common spaces (kitchen, living room, bathrooms, etc.) are shared, which is great for connecting with new people. Individual lockers are available for keeping valuables stored, which was great. Would definitely return!

Positive experience!

Valentina and Andrey are the greatest hosts. They are very caring and always make sure you’re comfortable and taken care of. The hostal is located in a convenient area that’s walking distance to the beach, markets and restaurants. The place has established pretty clear and reasonable rules that ensure the cohabitation with other guests is harmonic and respectful. Just be aware that specific spot of Punta Cana is slowly developing and there is a lot of construction sites in the surroundings areas making it look a bit sketchy and inconvenient to walk after rainy days. That’d be the only down side. Overall a positive experience!

GAVA is the best hostel I've ever been! Great staff, they are always happy to help, the hostel is very clean and safe. My vacation was great from the moment arriving at Punta Cana airport, because GAVA organized a transfer for me to the hostel, at the airport I was met by a personal driver with a sign with my name. When I arrived at the hostel, during check-in, I was able to buy an excursion to Samana to see whales, and the next day I went on an excursion in the morning, and spent my first day in the Dominican Republic unforgettably, I visited a private island, saw a waterfall in the jungle, and most importantly, I caught the whales. Thank you guys for recommending me to go on this excursion. I recommend GAVA to everyone, and I will definitely come back here again! Until next time!

The coziest place in punta cana

That's more a family house than a proper hostel because it's an apartment. However, it's the coziest place in Punta Cana! The owners are a young, lovely and friendly couple from Russia. Very nice people that made us feel at home. The room is small but with everything that you will need. There are 2 bunk beds, comfortable mattress with light white curtains in each bed and also private light and plug to charge your phone. Each person has a small locker but also a big wardrobe where can keep your luggage. There are also a big mirror in the room and 2 fans. The restroom is just next door with good size. They provide one tower for no extra cost. They also provided a hairdryer if needed. The kitchen is small but you can find everything you need to prepare your meals. The only thing that was missing was a filter, so was necessary to buy a bottle of water. The building is simple but in a great location, few blocks from the beach (kind of 5/10min walking). Its a safe neighbourhood. Many restaurants, grocery stores, and everything that you need. The excursions also pick you up like 5 min from there, so Gava hostel is in a perfect location. The beach in that area (Bavaro) is beautiful, with some tourists but not extremely crowded. Blue and clear water. Valentina and Andrew are amazing!! They were always very helpful with everything that we needed. They also sell tours and help us with all information about where to go. I feel I was lucky and gain new friends for life!

Muito bom!

O Gava não é bem um hostel. Os proprietários têm um apartamento e "alugam" as camas para os hóspedes. A minha estadia foi ótima. O local é limpo, a cozinha é bem equipada, a Localização é boa em El Cortecito, os anfitriões fazem de tudo para nos ajudar. Recomendo a todos!

5 min. zu Fuß zum Strand, Einkaufsmöglichkeiten und Restaurants um die Ecke, sehr nettes hilfreiches Personal, die beiden wohnen mit in der Wohnung die das Hostel ist, sie haben einen super lieben Hund, von dem man aber nichts mitbekommt, wenn man nicht möchte, Ich habe den Wäscheservice genutzt, der zwar in meinen Augen teuer war, aber genau wie der Flughafentransfer super geklappt hat.
