    The room was hot, stuffy and dark, floor fan loud and helped little even with a window in the bathroom looking to outside and bathroom door open. Other window in the room with mosquito net on it was into corridor, that runs between rooms. Therefore sound isolation and privacy were non existing.

    Location only 1min to beach, staff very friendly and helpful, room small but clean,

    The location is perfect, directly at the beach and close to good restaurants and coffeeshops, really central. The room is basic, but that’s great, there’s everything you need and not more. The people who work there are really nice :) especially Adam was really kind. I would definitely come back.

    As other reviewers said, room stays very hot during the night, despite having windows on two sides and a fan. Bathroom wall doesn’t go all the way up, didn’t bother me but something to keep in mind if privacy from your fellow travellers is important. Overall in need of some maintenance (no wc seat, loose tap) but more than enough for a basic stay.

    Amazing location just off the main street and two minutes from the beach. Friendly staff and a little onsite cafe in the garden. Basic room as I was expecting, the mosquito net on the bed was quite helpful.

    The bed without mattresspad was really hard and I couldn't sleep well. There wasn't any running water a few hours during daytime. So if you use your toilet during that time, your room might smell like a public bathroom in the end of the day. Room wasn't also clean when I arrived there.

    The hotel is located just next to the beautiful beach and it's not far from the main street.

    There‘s no kitchen to store things which is usually the case in a hostel and some small things like a mosquito net that was broken at some areas, no cleaning during the stay

    Great location by the beach, nice hotel with tropical vibes (yellow painting, hammocks, plants), free water to fill up your bottle, a small café. The owners were superkind people and helpful if anything needed.

    The lack of air conditioning makes it hard to stay comfortable. Even with fans provided, the heat was tough to manage at night. There was also no housekeeping during my three day stay Internet is very spotty and didn’t work in my room (but worked in communal areas downstairs.

    The room is spacious and the location fantastic

    no aircon was rough, the sun baked the room all day so it was hard to sleep. the main fan in our room also seemed to be broken and a spare fan was in the room but it was the loudest fan i’ve ever used. shame as it spoilt our sleep in an otherwise lovely place.

    amazing location right on the beach and near cute shops and cafes. nice hammock area. adorable kittens.

    The bathroom in the room had a low wall, which would have been a bit weird for 2 people. The room could use a chair.

    Located right by the beach, room with the ocean view! Spacious although quite basic double room with own bathroom. Great chilling area outside with hammocks that was very popular! The people were very nice, chill and helpful.

    There was no aircon in the room and there was only mosquito netting on one of the windows making it pretty uncomfortable to sleep at night.

    The property is located right at the beach so you have easy access; my room also had an ocean view. It's also very close to the main street, with all restaurants and shops within easy access. The room itself was unusual in layout but was very big! The staff were so friendly and happy to provide directions and recommendations.

    Rooms are very hot and did not have screens on all the windows so your options are to bare the heat or allow bugs to come in during the night while the window is open and stay a little cooler. Our room was still occupied when we arrived and we had to switch rooms. They refunded the difference but it was an inconvenience.

    Unfortunately the rooms are just too hot, I struggled to sleep throughout our stay. They really need to get air conditioning to make this a comfortable place, we had three fans in the room but it really didn’t do the job. There were also quite a lot of bugs and it didn’t feel the cleanest when we arrived.

    The location was amazing right next to the Bach and Main Street. The staff were really friendly and helpful, advising us on ATMs and booking us a taxi. The atmosphere was nice and relaxed at the hostel.

    Unfortunately was not a pleasant time for us. We were in a room with an open ceiling so had a lot of bugs and lizards in room. Shower and water was not working. Toilet didn’t work, ended up fixing it ourselves. Our fan broke so was extremely hot (no other AC). Ended up leaving early

    The lady working there was very sweet and lovely!

    It was a very basic, which I already knew from the photos and the reviews, but somehow it was even more simple than expected. And it was extremely hot in the rooms

    I liked how close it was to the beach.
