    Beds aren’t that comfy unfortunately. But about right for the price.

    Staff was great. Other tourists were friendly. Longe and kitchen area. Bus stop across the street. List of free activities in the office.

    Cleanliness could be better, only one bathroom to share with 8 women can get difficult. They don't change the codes often, lack of security therefore.

    Location is amazing here and the rooms are nice.

    the water pressure wasn’t very good and the floor mat in the bathroom was quite dirty. not the properties fault but three of the nights i did not sleep because a lady with horrendously loud snoring.

    very convenient and good for a solo traveler.

    Wifi didint work in the last 2 days. Sorry but this is important for people - I understood problem with WIFI for 2-3 h but not for 2 days. In the rooms should be more clothes cupboard because there is just 2 for 4 people , so other 2 people need to have all the time clothes in the bag The lighting in the lodgue area is switch off around 10 PM , but people are sitting here to around 12 AM/PM ... very quiet , so switch off the light is not necessary

    Nice place. To the beach 5 mins, shop 1 min. Very nice personel. Very helpful. I dont know what to write more because I was very pleased with this stay, mostly all were okay.

    Everything was good until they squeezed a man into our “female dorm” on my last night at there. I mean the man was easygoing and maybe the other roommate had agreed with his stay( while I was not in the room?), but it’s definitely not proper to do so. Except this, my first three nights were wonderful, all the roommates were respectful and well behaved.

    The location is unbeatable! The price is reasonable! The staff are so friendly! Bed was comfortable!

    Can be noisy at night but not past 10pm. Also noisy in the morning with cleaning/ delivery vans. Air conditioner in room is also pretty loud.

    Close to the beach. Convenience shop round the corner. I stayed in the 4 bedder female dorm and it has a small kitchen area and its own bathroom. Good for one night stay.

    1) the water in the shower was not that hot. 2) the individual lockers were so small that they couldn't fit a medium backpack. 3) the beds do not have curtains, so there is no privacy at all. 4) the room only had one chair available for 16 people. So, if you were on the top bunk, you would have to sit on the floor. 5) they said that snorkels, beach chairs and umbrellas would be available, but I never saw them. Either there are none or there are few, because even in the morning there were only floats available. 6) there is a daily cost per towel, which is ridiculous. If I booked a bed for 7 days, there should be 7 towels, that's the minimum.

    1) good location, tourist area, close to the beach and amenities. I felt safe. This hostel is frequented by tourists. 2) the rooms were cleaned daily. 3) good price and cost

    Entering the dorm room with the keypad provided was problematc. The numbers were poorly lit, and after struggling for quite a while I accidentally discovered that The handle had to be RAISED, not lowered. It would have been helpful if the friendly receptionist had taken a moment to mention this.

    I liked that they supplied a towel in addion to the fresh linens, and that they allow guests to select their own bunk bed from what is available.
