The guy Ergun who works at hostel tried to kick me out after writing a bad review on another website. I wrote that he was asking for all the girls Insta that makes the other girls feel uncomfortable. Another traveler’s gf was asked about her insta when her bf went to the bathroom. This is after she said the she has a bf. The owner also told me that he will call the cops on me and I told him that he should since I didn’t do anything wrong. I tried to talk to the owner but he did not show up.

Can’t even lie, from the moment I walked in, I just felt safe. As a solo female traveler, that means everything. This place has such a warm, welcoming energy. It’s cozy without trying hard, and people actually connect in a real way. No fake party vibes or awkward small talk.. just good people, good convos, and the kind of atmosphere where you instantly feel at home. And Ege… qué hombre. So kind, so genuine, un corazón enorme!!! Just being around him made the whole experience even more special.
