Very lovely Hostel. Everywhere you can find nice selfmade signs. The rooms are a bit small, but you have a shower in your room. The free meal is okay. For Internet/Wifi you have to pay per hour. I dont like this. Our beds made a lot of noise and were not very conftible, but the others were okay.

Too few toilets and shower opportunities, but great staff and good location. No lockers in the room, you can hire one for money. Free dinner and cheap - would recommend it all in all.   Read Owner Comments

free lockers in the rooms would of made me feel slightly more secure. Other than that a very pleasant stay, and the shower by our room, was AWESOME!

Nice hostel, really cheap. staff are helpful. 10 minute walk to a shopping mall which has 2 supermarkets. Not far from esplande either. Free meal eveynight is at a local club. Only downside is tv on a timer, and will switch off in the middle of a film. Quite annoying.

Nice and clean. Friedly and helpfull staff - can help you with any tour bookings. Garden lodge rooms are quite noisy at night. The common room is outdoor and people may sit and talk there all night. Quite a lot of long termers staying there who seem to have their own interests and do not sozialize with short termers.

The Staff was amazing! Very helpful and thoughtful. Close enough to everything a backpacker would need and the lagoon is just a short walk away. The bathrooms are small, and there are a lack of electrical outlets. Overall this hostel has to be one of my favorites so far. The grounds itself are amazing.
