Koko himself great guy and very helpful/friendly. Nice rooms but no locks on toilets or showers. Heard that the atmosphere was meant to be amazing and they did run events daily however we found the volunteers to not be very open and inclusive, we felt a bit left out of things and they didn’t make much of an effort to include others. Such potential maybe we just didn’t have a positive or inclusive group.

Most amazing hostel! It made my entire stay in the city, Koko is awesome and even came and checked on me to see if I was feeling okay after I extended a night because I wasn’t feeling too well. Made awesome friends here as well! The events are great for solo travelers.
