Sahar Backpacker

This hostel was sadly very disappointing! It’s highly overrated since a lot of local people give fake ratings to support the hostel. Although the staff is super friendly and helpful the beds are tiny and very dirty. We booked a private double bedroom with private bathroom and you barely could turn around it that room. Additionally the shower was pretty much non existing. Overall disappointing.

The hostel is so far ok, except, they dont have hot shower, only in 1 room is a hot shower. All other rooms have cold shower, which should be announced on their advertisment so people can read it. My room was not very clean, women hairs on the floor and on 1 board lots of dust. The stuff were very friendly.

Hosts were wonderful and provided lots of help and information about the area (even leading us to a few of their favourite places). They taught us how to make a traditional Indonesian meal and we ended up spending lots of time together learning about each other cultures. Hostel was clean and capsule beds provide a lot of privacy. Would definitely recommend staying here if you want to be slightly out of the city and learn more about life in Indonesia.
