So disapointing! The pictures you see forget them, they are definitely photoshop. I arrived around 8pm, I was given a mix dorm (the one I booked indeed), however there was a girl that told me she was in a female dorm. I asked if I could move there and the owner said no. Afterwards many beds were free. Ollie, one of the volunteers was very nice and next day allowed me to move there. The other volunteer David not helpful. And overall, super dirty place!! Never more!
