    Sometimes the showers were a little wet but otherwise everything was fine.

    The rooms are very comfortable, the general lighting in the room is a little dark but there is a lamp and two sockets by each bed. There was air conditioning in my room and drinking water in the hallway. They give you a toothbrush, a mini towel and a blanket. The truth is that in general the room was very comfortable. The bathroom is in the hallway and is shared with other rooms. The showers are quite decent. They provide shampoo, shower gel, and there are hairdryers. the workers are very nice. also there is a common room with a table with board game books, is located in front of the glass window that overlooks the street. In front there is a local restaurant called Juicy café with super cheap and super delicious food.

    More drying racks are needed. Someone put their wet clothes on top of mine just as mine were about to dry

    Breakfast was really good. I got the French Toast with Apples and Ice Cream.

    The rooms could use a little more light as one side doesn’t get any natural light so some stronger lights would be useful. It would be a bit more convenient if the shower was also in the en-suite bathroom instead of the communal shower area

    The staff are really nice and helpful, gave us lots of recommendations for Varkala. The restaurant is really good very good breakfast options. The location was convenient.

    The staff was not informed about bookings or payment. It was hard getting any information. If you need to pay with card it takes waiting time so let them know in advance. Sometimes they forgot to clean the toilet in the shower area.

    The dorm was comfortable, mattresses and sheets are perfectly for a good night sleep. Lots of privacy with curtains, locker, light. The hostel is quiet and the shower rooms have lots of space. The location is perfect.

    The reason it didn’t get 10 stars is because I went to bed with cigarette smoke smells in the room from the sitting area and woke up with cigarette smell from somewhere outside. That’s never okay.

    This place is excellent. It’s clean, close to the beach, and the Ukrainian and Indian food is excellent.

    The room was quite small. We were lucky and it was only my friend and me, but there were two more beds. With two more people it would have been really really tight.

    It was great to be in a women’s only hostel. The vibes were nice. Good aircon, locker with a key, bed with curtains, plug and light for yourself. Our room had a restroom inside which was really convenient, but no shower. To shower you had to go downstairs. There were several showers, good light, sinks, hairdryers… everything was really good, clean, comfortable. There was also a very nice and yummy cafe downstairs. And two little markets next to the hostel, and loads of tuktuks outside. Really convenient.

    The shower room was downstairs. I was traveling with my elderly mom and it was not very accessible to go down the stairs to take a shower.

    I really loved the room. The AC was working. The bed was comfortable. The vibe was cool. I'm glad there were lockers provided to keep our stuff.

    I wish they could clean the shower room twice a day. This is not their fault which is more like how people stay there to use the facility…. The young girls stayed and they talked loudly and shout the doors many times in the late night that bothered other people’s sleep. I hope this was only that particular time.

    The staff are very nice and kind. They clean the dormitory and shower room everyday😊I liked the location cuz I visit the temple next to the hostel was nice especially I could know the big festival and walk to the cliff in 5min!! I highly recommend this place.

    In the 6 bed dorm there was very limited space to stand up, also minimum space for bags. There was no light at my side of the room so I had to use my phone torch! There was only one other in the room so it wasn’t so bad! Not really any outdoor communal space. Smoke from a fire through the night came into our room which made me feel unwell.

    Great location opposite my favourite cafe. Very clean, towels and blanket provided. Aircon worked well. Locker with key for valuables. Two international plug sockets in the bunk with a small reading light.
