The Happy House, Phnom Penh, Cambodia

24th Jan 2019

The biggest issue is that the place pictured on this listing doesn’t appear to be the same place we stayed. The room was pretty dank and smelled unpleasant, there was NEVER any toilet paper, and the shower didn’t drain and filled up with half a foot of water, which you then had to stand in while you got dressed. There’s no vibe and no comfortable common area to sit in, just the reception area. It was cheap and well located, but so are a lot of places so pick a different one.

Really nice and quiet, clean, comfortable. Staff were super helpful with my extremely early airport transfer. Would 100% go back, and stay for longer next time!

The bar is great, a really good space to hang out, but the staff were a bit clueless, and the beds were SO uncomfortable, plus if you’re in the downstairs dorm, you can hear every footstep from upstairs. Nice atmosphere, terrible night’s sleep.

Clean and comfortable yes, but the atmosphere here is incredibly unwelcoming. The staff were unhelpful and unfriendly, bordering on rude, unwilling to answer questions, and they gave me no information about anything when I checked in. The social event on one of the nights I stayed was a barbecue, but with no vegetarian options, so I had to sit and eat dinner alone before everyone else enjoyed a meal together. The wifi is among the worst I've ever had.

Lovely little place with a good outdoor set up. The dorm was clean and comfortable, nice and breezy at night, with mosquito nets. Breakfast is delicious and the staff were super helpful and friendly. Only complaint would be security - there is none, the whole place is very open and it kind of feels like anyone can wander in without any of the staff noticing. Otherwise a great spot for a nice stay in Palomino!

This is such a lovely place! A beautiful location with admirable aims, it's perfect for just taking time out to relax. The vegetarian food fantastic, and eating dinner with staff and guests all together made it feel like a big warm family atmosphere.

This is such a lovely place! Clean, comfortable, and great for relaxing. The pool is great, the terrace is a beautiful place to chill out, the kitchen facilities are excellent and well-stocked (gas stoves!!) and coffee and fruit in the morning is a lovely extra touch. Totally recommend Tinto for your Barichara stay!

Castillo Surfista Hostel, Santiago, Chile
9.7
27th Jul 2015

Lovely, friendly little hostel in a really nice area of Santiago, quiet but close to everything. It really feels like a house not a hostel and I felt comfortable here straight away. It's clean and cosy and has everything you need. The only issue was that as a big breakfast eater, two pieces of toast isn't really enough for me and the whole breakfast setup didn't make it feel like you could help yourself to more. Other than that tiny quibble, I absolutely recommend this hostel!

View Property Reply

Thanks for the compliments!! For breakfast we offer fruit, yogurt, coffee, hot chocolate along with either toasted waffles and jam or toasted bread and cheese. If you ask and the hostel is not absolutely full, we will give you extra bread or waffles no problem. Like most hostels, if we offered unlimited everything for breakfast we´d honestly have to raise prices or we´d go out of business :( Safe travels!!!

Pariwana Hostel Lima, Lima, Peru
9.1
26th Jul 2015

This place is great - clean, safe, good atmosphere, good location. And super helpful staff - I checked in very early before check-in and they stored my bags, gave me tips on what to see in Lima, and let me eat breakfast on arrival. Breakfast is good, the rest of the menu is cheap and yummy. The only drawback was some issues with a long term guest (who seemed to also be working for the hostel) leaving his wet towel and his clothes and underwear all over my bed and area as well as his own.

Vip House, The Garden, Cusco, Peru
7.4
25th Jul 2015

This place is fine but it is the wrong place to get an early night. The ten-bed dorm opens right off the garden, and with the radio on full blast until late at night and apparently no noise curfew, a good night's sleep was not to be had. Otherwise, staff were helpful, it has everything you need, the area is out of the way and maybe a bit sketchy compared to other bits of Cusco but didn't feel unsafe. For a cheap stay, it was pretty much everything you'd hope.

View Property Reply

Thank you very much for your review. We have a radio in the garden wicht is on until 10 pm, the bar and fire pit closes at 11pm after that the hostel is super quiet, it is nice to know that you liked your stay here, like you said for the price you paid, you have almost everything you need.

This is the second time I've stayed at Jetpak Alternative, and two and a half years later, it's still just as great as I remember. Clean, comfortable, good location, great staff, good vibe - there is absolutely nothing here I can find fault with.

Flying Pig Beach Hostel, Amsterdam, Netherlands
9.4
11th Jul 2014

Great hostel with a great vibe. Getting out of Amsterdam to stay somewhere much more chilled was the best idea. Here you'll get party nights and lazy days, good company, cheap drinks, yummy breakfast and (mostly) friendly, helpful staff. Only drawbacks were the slightly cramped rooms (it's not a big hostel) and the bathroom floors that always seemed to be an inch deep in water. Other than that, I would thoroughly recommend heading out to Noordwijk and passing a few nights at the flying pig.

One of the better hostels I have ever stayed in, and definitely the cheapest! Lovely staff, numerous spacious common areas, clean comfortable rooms and Slovak cooking night was definitely a winner. Breakfast not included is always a bummer, but the excellent kitchen made up for it. Great hostel in a great city.

Strange, unwelcoming place where going to the kitchen to get a glass of water after the kitchen was 'shut' was treated as an act of subversion.

My little home in Budapest. You know you've found something a bit special when, on the night you arrive, all the guests and staff go out for Hungarian food together, then head to a bar to watch the hostel owner play in a blues band. A tiny, cosy, perfect haven in an awesome city - thanks Gina, Duff and Ferci for the hospitality, the food, the expansion of my obscene Hungarian vocabulary and a generally excellent stay.

Basic but satisfactory. Not much of a common area. Seemingly very thin walls, from the dorm you can hear everything including the plumbing. But pretty good breakfast, no major complaints, did the trick just fine.

Impeccably clean and neat, but the staff were apathetic and at times unfriendly, there were no social events or activities within the hostel, and there was very little to do, not even a deck of cards to be had. Plus, staying two floors down from the main part of the hostel meant I felt pretty isolated from everything, and there's no wifi in the rooms down there. Stay here if you want somewhere quiet and clean (and expensive!) but go elsewhere if you want to have fun.

Absolutely the best hostel I could have imagined - excellent location, right in the best part of Berlin, cosy, comfortable, clean and, most of all, friendly. It's small, so it's easy to meet people (definitely better for solo travellers rather than big groups) and the excellent staff all know you and will go out of their way to tell you all the best places to go, how to get there and make sure you have everything you need, including excellent espresso coffee!
