Backpacker very murky, there is a hen who walks in the home, the pool is not clean and the people who live there are very weird. Only stayed one night and luckily!

stayed in that hostel for 1 night though everyone told me that i shouldn't stay there. and actually it wasn't that bad. the rooms were okay with a fridge inside, the bathrooms were alright as well. the kitchen was bad. huge but no utilities at all (you had to rent a plastic dish set made for one single use). apart from that the hostel was on the other side of the town and there was only a bus going there though their hostelworld description said that they've got a shuttle. but: nice staff!

staff had lack of knowledge, had people checked into our room at 130am who then had to share a mattress as there was 3 of them and only 2 beds....

As a senior cit I'm not much into the partying kind of fun the younger backpackers enjoy here! But it was the right price and close to town, and the staff were just great. I didn't like people smoking and talking directly outside my room late at night but they moved willingly when I asked them to. I wonder does the chicken get enough greens? Chooks love fresh grass and need greens to lay healthier eggs. Nice to see her there. Please tell the boss I followed his directions out to the highway!

Reception is NOT 24hrs as advertised. Late arrivals ok but just a key taped to the door in a note/envelope. Found the place to be noisy, dirty, out of town and bed was VERY uncomfortable. Look elsewhere first . just use for a quick overnight or if desperate
