If your looking to be down in the middle of everything- this is the place to be! Music blares through out the night and the dorm rooms are large so sleep is impossible. The owner is very helpful, however his employees are a bit of a mess. One could snap at you at any moment, but at other times is very helpful and informative. The other isn't very helpful, but is very friendly. The bathrooms were disgusting at times. The price is ridiculous as is the 5 night min.

One of my favourite places I've ever stayed! comfortable beds, great staff (Rafaelle!), clean etc. Could have had better storage for big bags and more showers but I had a great time! I've actually recommended here to others who have gone

If you want to party, this is your hostel. Don't stay here if you're planning to sleep. Not only cos there's a party almost every night, but because some workers stay at the dorm with their young children, who might cry and scream at night. Lockers are in a different room, which is closed at certain time at night - so if you need to grab something, you can't. Cool place to met people to party with.

This is a great place for people traveling alone or small group. The other people staying there were so welcoming and interested in getting to me right off the bat. It felt like instant friends. The guy who runs the place makes a point of making you feel welcome and including you in the fun. Not to mention, very accommodating towards helping you with your future travel plans. Would highly recommend to anyone with a sense of adventure!

Loved it here! Amazing location, amazing staff and an all around amazing time here! We stayed in the mixed 40 dorm and it honestly didn't feel like more than 10 people were in there, even when it was full. The staff are incredible and there's always something they've thought up to do for the day. The street bar is always an awesome way to start off the night! You're only about a 10 minute walk away from the beach, just close enough! I'd recommend Dancing Elephant to anyone

The dorms are not locked so anyone can take your stuff. There are lockers but my clothes still went missing and also a girls ipod whilst i was there. Its located well for Full Moon, but not so much for Half Moon parties. The atmosphere wasn't the best as the owner was building a bar at the time, so chilling out and watching a film in the day was not enjoyable. This island has more to offer than Haadrin so go see it!!!
