It is very much an eco hostel. Beds are basically in a shack. Heard weird scratching on the roof all night… I really hoped it was a bird not a rat. Also got eaten alive by mosquitoes, even with the net on the bed. Also there were massive ants crawling through the bedroom area and not much privacy. It was just fine.
