Honestly, I don't get the hype... The place is alright. However, the locks on the doors didn't work so they were always wide open or people were making lots of noise trying to get out. Its also a poor location, far from anything in the town and the rental bike prices were more than in town. It's nothing impressive when you consider the possibility of theft, all the rooms in the A block had their doors wide open, the shower heads being broken and hot water running out super quickly, no ac.

Jack/Tosawit was extremely kind and helpful. He really knows Chang Mai and it's gems really well. He will tell you were to do and what to do if you're not sure. The homestay was very comfortable and they. Do provide scooters and bicycles for rent, even have weekly discounts - stands but it counts! He's also a very chill dude to have a beer with. I chose this hostel bc of it seemed to have a good chill area to meet and hang out with other backpackers and it did not disappoint!

There are no locks in the whole hostel. Keys worked in multiple doors at once. Every time someone came into the room to clean it they left they door unlocked. No signs as to which room is yours. Wifi works but it a joke of a system.

Yes, the beds are nice and new. I liked that they come with a privacy curtain, lockers, light and even power and usb sockets. But the whole hostel was kind of trashy. There was trash in the dorms, and in the bathrooms. I get that people leave things behind but there was spilt dry laundry soap on the dorm floor for two or three days. The rooms are truly at the mercy of other guests and it wasn't that great.

Thank you for your review. We are really glad that you enjoyed our Pod beds they really are fantastic. We are trying our best to find a solution for the mess in the rooms which is a difficult task as i'm sure you can imagine. New systems have been put in place to try and combat that problem. We would love to have you back some time to check it out but until then, have a fantastic trip!

The bar next door was pretty annoying. They did stop maybe around midnight or 1am. I'm not sure. The cleanings were pretty bad. There was trash left over and towels from the previous guests. No one seemed to care.

Dear Guest, Thank you for your stay with us. We are disappointed that you did not experience a 10/10 experience with us. We always care about the issues that affect our guests. Had we have been made aware you believed any towels or rubbish to be left behind when your shared dormitory was serviced, we would have happily addressed this immediately. We hope to welcome you again in the future.

Otherwise, no complaints! the manager is mad friendly.The food is great too! It's a good location. It's about 10 min to the beach. Rooms are fanatic and new. There are plenty of areas to hang out at. Good place! I only wished that the bathrooms were cleaned a little more often.

The vibe of the place is fantastic. It's a really cool spot to hang out at with other travelers or by yourself. It's really low key. I've spent many nights here and everyone was friendly, pleasant and respectful. If you have a chance, sleep on the 2nd floor in either the tents or open air beds. Like I said, people are respectful so don't worry about going to sleep up there. There are plenty of things to do in the area, you won't be bored!

Hay, so thanks for the review and for your help with our online world at the vista. We are a little sad that you don't feel that we offer value for money even after volunteering with us and receiving free accommodation for most of your stay. However the internet the fast and free and its all you can eat free breakfast in a space that was created by so much hard work and amazing people that love the pleasures of life and hopefully you had some positive experiences here that money cant buy:) Thanks again for the website and good luck on setting up your business.

I've seen higher quality beds in the hostel even in Sri Lanka. There was no hot water shower. The security was sketchy. There were no keys for the lockers in the room, anyone could have just walked out with our bags. There are small lockers in the hallway where you can use your own but they weren't for guests but stuff. I did meet some nice travelers on their rooftop. The location was okay. Oh, and they charged us full price for the beds and did not remove the deposit from the price at all.

I chose it because it looked clean and that was exactly the place. It's very close to the airport. A tuktuk should cost you 250 and a taxi 500. If they quote you anything less tell them they are full of s***, it's literally down the road. It worked for me. The hostel is nice, they have a tiny and adorable puppy too. There are always a few travelers around especially in the evenings and mornings. It's a good jumping off point if you don't know what to do in Sri Lanka yet.

There is either just water in the soap dispensers or nothing at all. I mentioned it to one of the workers and still nothing. Otherwise no complaints.
