WORST HOSTEL I HAVE EVER STAYED IN! For starters, the worker scammed my friend. He owed her $30 usd and never paid her back her change. He kept telling her he would pay her back & he tried which isn’t true. He ghosted & left us in the morning before she could get her money The bathroom and kitchen is HORRIBLY dirty and shouldn’t even be allowed to have customers use it. The staff is basically non-existent and only want to help you if you want to book an activity.

We booked for one night and we came and apparentely it was closed cause they are renovating the place. So they didn’t update the website and nobody was giving us any information about it. So we couldn’t sleep there in the end.

There were ants all through my bed, no doors on the toilet or shower, no WiFi or power working properly in my room. Only thing I asked was for some transport in the morning, it didn’t come and I missed my tour.
