Had a wonderful stay at Cuba Backpackers! The casa is very clean and comfortable with a outside balcony. Gina was more than helpful with questions, directions, taxis, and a pleasure to talk with! I recommend Cuba Backpackers for anyone on a budget!

Unfortunately the staff does not speak English.

The kitchen is very small and there are no utensils.

DONT GO THERE! They (Gina - Enzo who I read about wasn't there) charged me twice for breakfast for 8 nights and refused to pay me back making every excuse possible and called me a liar! Several other guys there had the same experience. Far away from centre of Havana too. JUST WANT TO RIP YOU OFF

Great value for money but it's about a 3 mile walk into town. There are also no places nearby to eat or drink.

Apartment was fine, aircon worked and it's basically a flat you share with other backpackers. The owners leave you to it but do clean every day and make your bed.

I would like to recommend this place but unless you want to spend 8 CUC on a taxi (each way) then I would suggests paying more and getting something closer to the action.

It's right near the main baseball stadium and during my stay I watch USA v Cuba for a mere 3 CUC!

Always welcoming, reliable and no-nonsense management. We have arrived from inlands to Havana earlier than planned and Gina and her staff warmly welcomed us and organized lodging for us. Very helpful during forst days in Havana and well organized in many aspects related to lodging. Highly recommended both to experienced and new vistors to Cuba!

The location is really awful. It's about a 45 minute walk from the Centre of town. Not really any places to eat around the hostel - except for some peso pizza and egg sandwiches. A bit dodgy at night. But I met awesome people that I spent three weeks with so cool place to meet people but not so good location.

Very far from the centre. Staff friendly but don't speak English. The lady wanted me to pay for the room twice coz 'she didn't remember me paying'. She refused to count the deposit we paid but she accepted that we cancel 3/4 nights booking.

lovely family and kind personal will help you with all your plans in Cuba and organize an other sheltered overnight in whole Cuba. The Cuban food was so delicilous. The price-performance-ratio is perfect. I would like to stay there again if I'll go back onetime
