Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Safe, clean, and well equipped camp site with quality items/ cooking utensils provided. Very well maintained camp site. Guess what- no mosquitoes at all w/o need to use repellent. Best part is the few min away waterfall river after a short distance jungle trekking. Kids had so much fun. A superb glamping experience for family, also to get close to nature. Thanks to owner SK & SK2, keep up good work in maintaining the site-will definitely go back in future!

    The villa is very spacious and we can see Mount KK from the balcony when the weather is good. The kitchen is fully equipped: rice cooker, oven, kettle, glasses and bowls, kitchen tools, cutlery, etc... Clean toilets and showers with water heaters. There are 2 bedrooms: one with a queen bed and the other with two bunk beds. We love blankets because they keep us warm at night. Once off the blanket we felt cold.

    1. Assessment route from the main road to the location should be safe and good for all guest either day or night. 2. Water heater needs to periodically service iot avoid malfunction during guests stay. 3. Cleanness of toilets need to improve
