Completely deceptive “dorm room”. It’s an open air attic on top of a restaurant. No walls, only a tin roof. Completely exposed to the jungle, with single man tents on some mattresses as protection from all the biting insects. No way to get peace during restaurant open hours. There’s no overhead light so you’re relying on a flash light. The tent is claustrophobic and not breathable with the 30 degree heat. The location is in a murky corner of the river so not suitable for swimming. STAY AWAY!!!!

“Hostel”’accommodations are misleading. I was sleeping in a tent in the attic with the room fully open to the outside. Found a tarantula in both the sleeping area on the bed & the showers. The showers only had cold water and there is no A/C which wouldn’t usually be a problem but the fans were no help when sleeping in a tent. No lockers to lock up your stuff and your right above the restaurant so you hear everything. Food was good but a bit overpriced and owner was nice.

I loved this hostel, wish I could have stayed longer! One of the real highlights of my trip. The food was great and swimming in the river and watching the world go by was great. Thanks for a great stay, hope to be back one day!
