Sanya Sunshine International Youth Hostel Reviews

Awesome place to stay, with incredible nice and helpful staff. I spent my first chinese new year there and really enjoyed the party they had arranged. The beach is really close, so are the small shops and a lot of restaurants. If ever returning to Sanya, I'd definitely stay there again.

Nice staff but hostel located next to nothing but the beach, I advise anyone to go stay in dadonghai which is a very lively neighborhood, or even ... Well anywhere else would be better actually (lover beach café in luhuitou village which I loved or sanya backpackers in Dadonghai). The hostel was not that clean, two good points though: good western mattresses and lockers big enough for a suitcase and more. I'm glad I only stayed there 3 nights.

When we arrived, we were told that they didn't have the beds we booked for the night, so we had to sleep in tents. The girls working at the reception failed to calculate the right amount we had to pay, I had to show them our confirmation e-mail. The room was very dirty, it was not cleaned once during our 12 night stay. Two of us got food poisoning after eating at their restaurant. The sewers in the street were broken and there was waste water on the road. The staff was not kind.

Thank you Ina for all your help when I needed a place to stay in Sanya. Ina made sure I had a bed when they were booked full durning pek season. This hostel is in the best location in Sanya, close to beach, and attractions.

Conveniently Located near sanya bay. Friendly staff and great cocktails. Downside there was no safe for valuables and door handle was broken. Relaxed atmosphere and vibe.

Good vibe and very near to the sea. Staffs are very friendly; Especially Allen, he was very attentive and helpful:)

Helpful personal, really clean rooms, but it was impossible to get breakfast at 9 in the morning, the Chef was always on the way (may be it was only our problem as we are vegetarians and breakfast only from eggs is impossible for us)... Location is ok, but a bit noisy during nighs.

SPEECHLESS! SO AMAZING! I can't praise them enough. The staff are some of the nicest people I have met in China and made the whole experience very worth while. They can help you find or get anywhere. Location is excellent, very close to the beach and with easy access to buses going anywhere in Sanya area including other beaches. Hostel is very clean, great pool table for free, great food and amazing drinks by Jason and Allen! Special thanks to Ina, Emma and Mio. We'll never forget this place.

I was carrying valuables, so I booked this hostel thinking it had security lockers in the rooms. I was in a double room & it did not have a security locker. The lock on my window was broken & it was an easily accessible window. And then my door handle fell off. Probably not the best choice if you are hoping to keep a few things secure. That being said, everyone was incredibly friendly & welcoming here. I appreciated the warmness & I had a great stay. One tip: Don't forget to use bugspray!

Clean, modern hostel with a nice bar with a great selection of drinks and a pool table. The staff was great; very friendly and helpful with anything you need. They also have an extensive menu with a long selection of both western and Chinese food. The internet connection is the fastest available and works well in the rooms too. The hostel is 5 minutes away from Sanya bay, which is great for some quiet time at the beach as opposed to the much busier Dadonghai. I'd highly recommend it to anyone!
