I’m not sure why this place is rated so highly. The common area feels like a bad nightclub, there’s loud construction work by the pool, and the basic dorms don’t even have bathrooms, you’re supposed to go downstairs and use the ones by the pool. I woke up to all my things in my locker full of ants, even though there wasn’t any food in there. I cancelled the rest of my stay and moved to the much better Gito Hostel. You can easily find better and more social places for the same price.

The staff here were amazing and we owe them so much! Thank you for looking after us so well during the flooding providing us with food and water and helping us get rescue boats. They were extremely selfless putting the guests before themselves and remained positive and were very informative. Big thank you to Alan and the other staff who helped move us and our bags from the pool building to the main building. You were all incredible ❤️

Nice hostel was always clean. Very friendly staff - the bar crawl with Jeff was 10/10 you have to do it if you’re there on the right night, great fun and value.
