Recommend that you read the small print, lots of strange extra hidden charges as others have mentioned. Capsules are a good concept but unfortunately these where not constructed well , so be prepared to be woken up when your neighbor arrives back. But location is good.

Beware of MANDATORY FEES!!!!
This is the only hostel in the world that adds fees not included in the website price. It's cheaper to Uber to the beach from in town.
It feels like a doomsday prepper's holding compound for new arrivals. Here is your plywood cell. Here is your cage for your baggage. Here is one bathroom 10 people share. Not the modern pod-style you expect. Sleeping directly under couples' pod is disturbing. Mosquitos come through broken door at night and into pods.

Unexpected extra fees, manual locks and different codes through several doors to to get inside; quite secure but a complete fire hazard. Owners had a private party in the common area until late in the night. The “capsule” you sleep in is simply a plywood box with doors that doesn’t slide properly. Overall strange, bordering on rude, attitude from owners.
The only activities or event organization offered was surf classes, at least this and instructor John was good.
