Staff were very friendly, Room was clean even tho it was a bit rough around the edges. Was big enough for what we needed and was great having a table in our room. Bathrooms were clean and was central to where we needed to be. Didnt have a chance to try the pool but it looked inviting

The entire property was expansive, with plenty of space and many animals to see. There’s a cool on-site restaurant, so you can grab food or drinks anytime. It’s located very close to the beach, and the vibe was truly unique.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.

    One of the best hostels we’ve ever stayed at. The kitchen is super spacious and you have everything you need (even an air fryer). Rooms are nice and super clean. The patio is nice as well. All staff is beyond, but special mention to Arthur who might have been the best ever in all hotels we’ve ever been to.

    I have travelled consistently in hostels for the last 5 years and this was the best hostel that I’ve experienced. The amenities were all functional, clean and they had clean hand towels and clean bath mats. This alone speaks volumes about how well this hostel is maintained. The pool is magnificent. This hostel was a breath of fresh air on the journey of hostel life for a seasoned backpacking traveller.

    A bit more of a dated old style hostel. But everything was clean, comfortable and safe.
