    The bathrooms were so dirty and disgusting. Specially the ones next to the rooms, I couldn’t go there at all not even just to brush my teeth.

    The staff and people staying there were friendly and nice.

    It gets very noisy at night (party people)

    We had the apartment which was very nice! Close to the pool and more private as well.

    Comfortable 2 night stay

    The indoor bathroom needed bug spray and some way to get rid of the accumulated water (puddles) because there were many mosquitoes in there. I think making coffee at 7am is better than 8am (8am the buses are already leaving, for example).

    Making dinner together (I didn't do it but it looked like fun). The staff was nice (Thanks to Maria and Showen!). The mattress was comfortable. There was good amount of storage for me to put my things.

    Staff seemed a little annoyed, and there were smoking electric wires in the shower that seemed a little dangerous.

    We stayed in one of the private houses, a very nice location, and access to a pool with a bar, comfy room with aircon.

    Private room was really nice! Huge room with ensuite and balcony. AC in room, close to town and separate from rest of hostel so was v quiet. Kitchen was really nice - clean and spacious. Good quality bikes available to hire. Great location super close to everything.

    They rely a bit too much on volunteers.

    It's very easy to meet people. The cubicles are small but they're perfect to have some privacy, I slept really well.

    Extremely rude staff and terrible dorms

    I dont even know where to start. The rooms are sooo small and they put as many beds as they can in there. There is 0000 oxygen in the room and its impossible to sleep. When I checked in the lady at the reception gave me the worst energy ever. She was really unfriendly and unbothered to help. I just wanted to ask her if its possible to cancel my reservation after i saw the terrible rooms or at least get a bottom bunk bed. She replied saying i make guests feel uncomfortable and am only allowed to stay in the hostel if i show excitement for the place. Even though her own staff was very unmotivated and rude!! I felt uncomfortable walking out my dorm in the morning!!! I switched to Smile Hostel after and can highly recommend the place and the owner is lovely!!!

    Nothing really. The music was okay. Kitchen is very dirty as well!!!!

    The toilet was a slightly odd layout (you had to open the door, walk in then shut the door to get to the shower so it was cramped). That’s the only thing that was negative though and it wasn’t a big issue at all!

    Lovely spacious room, aircon & a mini fridge and a fab location (5 minute walk from the beach). The staff were really helpful and overall we had a great stay here.
