It is a great place at the beach and at walking distance of the centre. Babalao and his staff are great hosts and giving a lot of information and suggestions to explore the surrounding. Every morning a good breakfast. Really value for money.

The hostel offered exquisite access to the beach at an unparalleled price. The pictures give a accurate impression of the place. When we entered off the sandy road we were warmly greeted by Babalao and Farok. The cool breeze of the ocean and shade from palms creates a comfortable environment and temperature. The rooms are modest, clean and perfect for coming and going from the beach, restaurants, museums, street markets, and historical sites.
