This place seems like it has been bought and forgotten. The kitchen is a mess, and there is no one to check if things actually are cleaned properly by the guests. The garden was nice but has rubbish in it so relaxing in the hammocks (not by the pool, but under the wooden house in stilts) was not a pleasant option. The pictures are not up to date, especially for the dorms. The bathrooms smell of some horrible cleaning product. But hey, it’s probably the best option in town… take Uber, not taxi.

I like Bambu. It'll definitely be my go-to when passing thru David. It's basic. Clean. I felt safe. I would recommend it to my younger and more Adventress friends. It's close to a main highway (bus & taxi service) and a huge supermarket "around the corner." There's a big open air kitchen to cook your meals. It could use some organization, but you can easily get the job done! Louis is a super cool host. He's very accommodating and bilingual. 8-9/10 👍🏽
