About

Welcome to Bodhi Hostel, where everything is designed with passion and nature in mind. Most of the furniture and decorations are handmade with recycled products or renewable resources. Through traveling, we hope for you to learn more about our world, about yourself, about people and cultures. Bodhi Hostel is named after the very tree under which Buddha achieved enlightenment. In creating an open and sociable atmosphere, we want you to make new friends, and leave feeling a little enlightened yourself.

We offer free breakfast, high speed internet WiFi, lockers, bikes for rent, communal kitchen, bbq area and bar with affordable beer.

Every bed in our place has a comfortable semi-therapeutic mattress (the same ones used in hospitals), pillow, hotel quality linen, towel, electric plug, individual lamps, fan, and curtains.

Our mission is to provide you with the best experience possible, whether you need a local guide or directions to get to the main attractions, we will do everything in our means to satisfy your needs.

We had a great stay in the hostel, we loved the hostel and location we decided to extend our stay twice. Lots of hiking and activities to do nearby. Good kitchen facilities. Delicious breakfast included. Laundry available for $6. The staff are great and really helpful. Would definitely recommend staying in this hostel.

one of the best hostels I've stayed in, in the last 7 months of traveling, super comfortable, exceptional breakfasts, friendly staff and good activity guide! my only 2 small suggestions would be to encourage people to join the WhatsApp group chat more when checking-in which would help more people to come together and organise stuff etc. WiFi could be a bit intermittent, but not sure how easy that is to fix in the area
