We stayed there for 2 nights and it was horrible.I would rather recomment to pay a little bit more money and stay in a hotel. Manny, the manager was nice and the house could be a nice place, but it was so dirty, the bathroom was disgusting!!! I've been to many hostels in my live, but this one was really the dirtiest I have ever seen. We booked a private room, but when we arrived we got a dorm only for us,which was fine, but when we came home the next day there were 3 other people in our room...

Owner Comment (Hide)
These 2 guest were shown the Master Dorm and were thrilled, they were told there were other persons arriving the following day but they accepted to stay in the room, When the 3 Australian guest arrived the following day it was obvious they were upset. They did not mention that they were refunded a one nights stay. They did mention that Manny was nice, I am not the manager, I am the owner and founder of World United, these type of comments hurt deeply and if they were just to mention these things to me it would be taken care of, but they left early in the morning and returned late at night only to sleep, they found the master bathroom after it was used by the others, they were upset to have others in their room and were upset, we will do our best to make sure these things do not happen again, we have had over 600 guest stay with us in the past 10 months and although I am not present for a certain time of the year I am proud to say we are trying our best and are proud of the results.

It is a wonderful place to meet new international friends and just relax. We spent some great nights chilling by the pool! Thanks to Manny for amazing dinners and friendly atmosphere!

Stayed their for almost a week, and it's for sure in my top 3 hostels of the many, many hostels I ever done, It was like one big happy family, everybody knew everybody, ate and drunk togheter the whole week, Theme parks are not that far away, but thanks to a ridiculous shedule of Orlando public transport it can take you up to 2 hours, lucky you don't need public transport, just ask a fellow traveler with a (rental) car to drop you of (everybody is their to visit a theme park)

We as frequent travellers saw a lot of hostels all over the world. As we arrived it was dirty, all over the floor were clothes empty cans etc. The pool looked like a sea. The bathroom was for maybe 12 people and clean is something different. Also it could be, that your booked hostel is not in Orlando it could be in Kissimee, that happened to us. We had to pay a lot for a cab on these two days. it is was cheap but with the additional costs it was expensive.We would say book an other hostel.

Beware, don't book the Private Room! This "private" room is on the other side of town in a gross, dumpy motel with no TV, no heat, grimy disgusting floors, no WiFi, and a "Peeing Prohibited in this Place" sign in the stairwell which explains the stench throughout the entire place. We have pictures. Also, Manny said he would refund our money after we left early but never did. He did say that if we post a good review on here that he would finally give us a refund. We are now disputing the charges.

I never met the young man writing this review, I only spoke to him on the phone on a couple of occasions. We just opened up the Kissimmee property shortly before his arrival. The persons at the property said he checked in with a much older lady and were very annoying. We were in the process of issuing a refund, but after finding out about the couples strange behavior, I told the young man to write his review and we'll respond accordingly.

The owner was never at home, and there was no staff around. He wanted me as a guest to welcome the other guests and show them everything!! Additionally it was so dirty I had to clean everything the first day because it was so dirty I couldn't even take a shower...

The guest was arriving to attend school at UCF we offered her an opportunity to stay for free in exchange to assist us in welcoming and getting the arriving other guest situated, she accepted. Our Intern had to go back to China on an emergency and we were left understaff and the Founder (Owner) had to depart for Miami for 3 days, Basicly the guest rated herself, as she was responsible for welcoming the guest, show them the property, and do the basic cleaning. We try our best to satisfy each and every guest, but we understand some times it is difficult.

Very nice stay not too far from the airport in suburban area. A bit chaotic in terms of organization, but very nice staff who help you where they can. Huge common living room and kitchen to get in contact with others. Great people, nice house, in total a very good hostel.
