    The share room some times can get untidy customers leaving things all over the place without thinking that its a shared space. Towels in bathroom or outside entrance. Perhaps could help more hangers or shelves to leave things. But it is not to do with the hotel, its more to do with people being selfish.

    Nice place and well look after. Very diferent from what you find in Genral Luna. Near by bike to go to General Luna. Fantastic Indian restaurant on top of the hostel. Very relaxing grounds and good swimming pool. They even have a cinema room. Good facilities to cook your own food. Fantastic place, I would come back and recommend 100%

    I really don’t have anything much to say. If only the hostel is equipped for remote workers, it would be great. But I guess it would go against its “Bajala” motto. Still, it really is a rare gem to stay in a hotel that feels almost at home.

    All of the things you would want are available. From pool to the kitchen to an Indian restaurant located at the second floor. The whole aesthetic of the place feels like a warm hug… And beachfront is a bonus!

    The bathroom could be a little damp and the shower tended to leak water onto the floor, but requesting a new bath mat solves the problem quickly.

    I LOVED this hostel so much!! I transferred from a different one and breathed a sigh of relief and how clean and calm this location is. I stayed in the all female dorm and felt very safe the whole time, and it was a very thoughtfully designed room (stairs or very wide ladders to upper beds, secret compartments for valuables by your head, hooks and a shelf for each person). The staff was very kind and patient with me as well. The best part is that it's about a 5-7 minute moped drive from General Luna, so it's much quieter and has a private beach. It was incredibly relaxing, and I think you'd be hard pressed to find a better hostel on the island for the price.

    It’s a 10 min ride away from general Luna cafes & restaurants, but that was fine for us as we had mopeds.

    Every attention to detail - a properly well run hostal with travellers’ needs in mind

    The hostel is very beautiful and well-maintained. It's located a bit further from the city center, but I believe it has more positives than negatives. The street where the hostel is located is beautiful and well-organized — it's quiet and there's no traffic. You can also rent a motorbike and reach the city center in just 10 minutes

    It’s a drive from the bars & restaurants of general Luna, but no problem at all if you have a moped which are easy & cheap to hire. We would have stayed longer and explored the coastline away from general Luna if we’d had more time.

    The best hostel we’ve stayed in! Lovely clean pool, very comfortable beds, cinema room, laundry service, great Indian restaurant upstairs. Lots of thought has gone into the traveller experience - there are universal sockets in the rooms, private lockers in the kitchen with your own cutlery/crockery and a reusable water bottle. We stayed in a private double room & it had everything - drinking water, kettle to make tea, a nice balcony next to the pool. Lots of staff & they’re all super friendly & helpful. There are free snorkels & goggles to borrow at front desk, and paddleboards on the beachfront (we only discovered the lovely beach to the right of the hostel on the last day unfortunately, but it looked great for paddleboarding).

    Nothing! Because this hostel is perfect!

    Really love this place! It was a home away from home. The bed are comfortable and clean. Quiet and well maintained Hostel. Its nearby the secret beach which is really quiet if you wanna be away from the busy area of GL! and its only 8 mins drive to GL! The most thing I liked about it is the Kitchen and the Cinema Room! It’s like I was really home! I definitely recommend staying here.

    The hostel is ~5k away from General Luna. Sometimes, it is nice to be away from the main strip in a secluded area. Other times, it can be a hassle that you have to ride all the way to town. There wasn't a lot of space to hang clothes up to dry. With 6 to a hostel room that can be a problem, especially on rainy days.

    Clean, good food, laundry service, comfortable beds with privacy curtains, good atmosphere, able to rent scooters cheaply and without issue, right by the beach.

    Maybe the pool could be kept open an hour or two later? It’s open until 8 but I personally usually come back to my hostel after that so didn’t get to use the pool at night. But still not a big issue!

    This place is genuinely the best hostel I’ve ever stayed in. It’s GORGEOUS and so comfortable and clean. The mattress is so deep and comfortable, they offer you a thick duvet and a thin blanket to choose. The room is perfectly cool throughout the night and the entire room is big and very clean. Stunning bathrooms too! The pool area is beautiful, it lights up at night and looks stunning. The dorms look like hotel rooms, they’re stunning. The staff are nice enough! A super comfy cinema room where you can choose what you watch and we all hung out in each night. Free beer or soft drink everyday (5:30pm-7pm) Out from the main area but a much more local spot and the drive from the main tourist area is so easy and really pretty. Also, right on the beach! You can swim in the sea and it’s super quiet, also really pretty entrance with the palm trees. If you’re looking to meet loads of people maybe choose a more social place but I still met some good friends and I wanted somewhere to chill. Amazing shared kitchen too. Couldn’t recommend more.
