This is a party hostel. If you need somewhere quiet to sleep, this is not the place. If you need somewhere to meet cool young people and have fun, there's nowhere better. The shuttles in and our of town are a bit inconvenient, but the view is amazing, especially at sunset. The staff are friendly and helpful.

This is my personal heaven. No joke. It's perfect. Prepare for the most wonderful group of people you will ever meet so long as you can party and getting 4 hours of sleep a night. Just fall into it, or as they say, "Get amongst it." TNTH promotes one activity a day which many will do b/c it's awesome, and who doesn't want to know the rad people they are staying with? Many times people meet for the first time, and a couple of days later they embark to different country as best friends.

It's like a crack den. Go there to party but don't plan on sleeping there. Music until 4-5 am then back on at 8-9am. Good food and great view and great place to party, just don't plan on sleeping.

Great location, but Hostel is something for 20 yer old Aussies and Canadiens. People who work there are on cocain or crystal meth, drinking starts at 10 am and when you wake up in the morning you will find puke all over the place and empty condoom packs... It is fun to party and greaf for the sunset, but when you are older than 23 and like a clean place, go to the hostel next dor, something with "olas" and it is so beatufil and for party you can always go to naked tiger,,,

I had issues with this hostel. The rate they listed on Hostelworld was $10 a night per person. I booked for 2 people over 3 nights and was quoted a total price of $60. I paid the $6 deposit, and my confirmation email from Hostelworld said I had $54 left to pay. The staff working at the hostel refused to apply the deposit to my bill, and made me pay $60, so I have currently paid $66 for a booking that was quoted at $60. Not impressed at all. The staff were really rude about it as well.

Best hostel I've ever stayed at! I came alone and left with a ton of new friends! Great views, great pool, great atmosphere, great parties!!!! I was so sad to leave and had made friends that were supposed to leave much sooner but they stayed and stayed and stayed. Had I not had a job to return home to, I would probably still be at the Naked Tiger! Definitely recommend!!!

Well, what can I say? Tried to only stay for three days & tried leaving twice but got stuck this place for so long. It is phenomenal. Best view, best pool, best people, best parties. Anything goes but everyone is still respectful. It's up a hill from the town so requires a free shuttle but the hostel is worth it. When arriving negotiate with your taxi driver that they take you up the hill. Just writing this makes me wish I was back there. Stay at Naked Tiger if you love to have fun
