We overall enjoyed our stay. Initially thought it was really quiet and a lack of social activities for such a gorgeous hostel that’s quite remote. They did do karaoke one night which was really fun but they could take advantage of having a pool and a big bar area. However it does have a homely feel with a few long term residents. Would be nice to have a water filter. Rooms were comfortable and clean. Just to be aware you’ll need to pay for taxis everywhere if you don’t rent a moped.

Loved our time at Shiralea Backpackers! The staff are wonderful, the food is great, and the atmosphere is such a cool vibe. Tons of great coffee shops near the hostel as well that we visited every morning. A bonus was all the dogs who hung out with us around the property! Loved our time here.

Beautiful place but if you are not in the 100 percent hippy vibe you might feel a bit out of place.
