Happy Buddha Hostel & Lodge, Guatape, Colombia

4th Jun 2019

Absolutely amazing views, we booked one night and stayed for 3. Transport is easy to and from with their transfers, would happily come back and stay. Its a great place to chill after exploring Guatape- and really there's not a lot going on in the town- better to stay a bit further out and relax!

Was only here for a night on my way out of mexico city, but the place has everything you need. Staff are super friendly, comfy beds, and close to the airport. Would happily stay again :)

Great place to stay, central location, great staff and bar set up. Would be good if they sold more than beer though! Was pretty sleepy when we were there but the place is open and comfortable, can’t get much better value in Guadalajara

Great staff, easy going hostel, good place to swing through. I wouldn't bother with the private rooms they're a bit damp and musty, but the dorms are great. Good spot to explore San Pedro from!

This isn't a party hostel, it's a hotel, so doesn't have 'common areas' as such. But it's awesome value for the money, private rooms for $12 with a/c is great, one street off the beach, and the staff were great, booked is taxi's (and sent them away for trying to charge too much). The rooms were clean and had everything you needed. Although ours lacked natural light, that's pretty insignificant as a complaint. Definitely recommend for the average backpacker

Riad Massin, Marrakech, Morocco

21st Sep 2013

Reviews are based on experience, and our experience was terrible! We booked a private room, only to be put into a dorm- which was literally the size of a jail cell. There are not enough lockers for everyone in the room, nor was there room for 6 people, and the power points didnt even work. The showers, which suck, don't drain properly, and the water ran down the hall and flooded the dorm. After complaining we were told we would be moved, but this never happened. It's not worth the 5 euro's.

Great place to stay, very friendly. Free breakfast is handy. They helped us organise a tour through the desert and onto Marrakech- if you're in a group don't hesitate to barter the price of everything! all in all would recommend this hostel :-)

Pretty good hostel, close to the port if you're only here for a night. Rooms are clean and large enough, kitchen and roof top terrace are a plus. Pretty sure the receptionist was higher than most people in the medina, so be prepared to be patient.

Actual doors don't lock, but there's lockers anyway. Lack of showers are a pain but fully equipped kitchen and good lounging area make up for anything else. Great location, probably some of the cheapest you'll find.

Great stay, staff at home hostel (the check in place) can be frustrating, especially in times of need (e.g. wifi not working and needing to book the next leg of a trip). All in all, the apartments are great, would be better if you didnt have to check in through the hostel though

21st Aug 2013

The hostel is huge, and in a pretty good spot. The common area is great to hang out (especially seeing as the rooms are small and cluttered). There are some ridiculous bits though, i.e. not being able to open your window, not being able to control your own A/C (so you either freeze or cook), the lights go out at midnight, and don't turn back on until the morning, the fridges in the kitchen don't keep anything cool etc... Free gym is a plus, free breakfast sucks.

Bob's Youth Hostel, Amsterdam, Netherlands
6.0
18th Aug 2013

Ive stayed at bobs 5 times in the past few years, and it's sad to say it has lost its charm. If you're looking for something comfortable, I wouldn't stay here. The stairs are terrible, the beds are shocking, the hostel is rarely clean, and the basement area is just a dutch oven. If you're in Amsterdam to get loose and party, then Bob's is alright, but there are better places to stay.

I'm not even sure this is a legitimate hostel. They are not equipped to be full. Clearly they had run out of pillow cases, so our pillows were slyly hidden under the sheet, and trust me, they weren't inviting. Good hostel for a cheap fly through, but not great if you're looking for a good nights sleep.

Great and cheap alternative to visit cinque terre. Rooms and beds were unexpectedly comfortable. Cannot rely on the bus schedule (both the public busses and campground one) but if you're not easily phased it wont bother you. Just be careful if you need to be somewhere on time, apparently all bus drivers stop working from midday to 2:30 pm.

Shower is barely big enough to stand in, rooms were full of mosquitos (dead ones on the wall that hadn't been cleaned in a long time) and live ones flying around. Hostel itself is in the hood, surrounded by hookers. Spend the extra $5 and stay closer to Duomo.

Came to stay for 2 nights, and still here a week later. This place is great, huge terrace under grape vines, close to the beach, the free breakfast and dinner (which are great) is value enough for the price you pay. Not to mention it is impossible not to be relaxed here. Great place, definitely recommend.

Good place to stay, but it's not a hostel. Just a budget hotel. Private rooms are good, air con, clothes line, balcony and enough room to move. No atmosphere in comparison to actual hostels, but relatively cheap and easy for a quick stopover.

Great hostel for the whole 'stay in a cave' experience, good value for money. Cave rooms are a bit damp, makes it a bit uncomfortable to sleep in, but i assume it is no different to other places. Staff were more than helpful in our stay and booking our on-going journey.

Chillout is a nice hostel, unless you're unfortunate enough to be squeezed into the 8 person dorm. Ive seen the inside of a jail cell with more room than this, not to mention the air-conditioning wasn't working. Thankfully we were only here for one night. Other than that, the staff are great and the hostel is clean, but it doesn't take much to make a bad impression

Hotel Sapphire Residency, Mumbai, India

24th Jun 2013

The only good thing about this accommodation is the proximity to the airport. Other than that it is hard to find and difficult to get to other parts of Mumbai e.g. Colaba. The rooms are very basic, and 'clean' is not a word i would use to describe them. In saying that, you cannot expect a great deal more from most accommodation in India, so if you just need an easy transit hotel, this place will suffice.
