Almost all of the hostels in Salento are illegal. Aside from not paying taxes and not registering guests with DAS, the owners exploit their staff by paying them less than the legal minimum wage and by not giving them the health and pension rights to which they are legally entitled to.

If a hostel does not register you.
If on the first page of the registration book there is not an official DAS letter.
If the hostel does not display a valid Chamber of Commerce certificate.
If the hostel does not have a National Tourist Registration then the hostel is not 100% legal
AND IT IS ALMOST CERTAIN THE OWNERS EXPLOIT THEIR WORKERS.
