I liked how soft and big the dorm beds were. Also it was easy to start up conversation with people in the common area.

Location was perfect and close to many restaurants, cafes, nightlife activities and the beach, staff were so kind, hospitable and did above and beyond to make the stay as nice and comfortable as they could. Beds were comfortable, common areas and bathrooms were cleaned multiple times a day, and the free shuttle to a different beach every day is a game changer. 10/10 experience

Really enjoyed my time here! The mattress was so comfortable. I slept well and stayed asleep each night, without tossing and turning. The air conditioning is strong and the common area is cozy; there are frequently people hanging out on the couches or at the coffee table, but it is never loud or bothersome. The highlight of the property is of course the owner. She is incredibly hospitable (offering to make you coffee and tea on the daily) and takes pride on keeping a clean and comfortable environment. It’s a really safe area. I never even used my locker in the 5 days I was here. The other guests here were friendly and considerate. I don’t ride a motorbike, but I didn’t have any problems walking the 15-20 minutes to the center. There is also Freedom Beach only 13 minutes away and there are many food/drink options 5-10 minutes away. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

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.

    Beds were comfy, the common area/restaurant is a great opportunity to meet people. The staff is international and very social and accommodating. The owner hosts weekly events like movie nights or bbq, even though it’s a social hostel it wasn’t loud at night. When i first arrived i was handed a towel and allowed to shower, even though I arrived way before my check-in. Daily cleaning of the dorms. Perfect hostel for backpackers or anyone who wants to meet new people!

    The owners as so lovely and so helpful. Beds were comfortable and clean and private. Facilities were great. Free tea and coffee and a fridge. Lovely little balcony area and in a great location, close to everything. Everything about this hostel is perfect. Safe and secure too with key fobs to enter the room.

    Best Hostel, a bit far from the Main City but you need a scooter anyway so it’s totally fine. Close to really nice beaches, Tanote Beach was my fav. The staff is fantastic and you can have fun nights playing Deisha-Thai-Pool, getting professional bamboo tattoos and have good&cheap cocktails or some weed (or both :D)!! The View is epic, you can see the whole Island and shouldn’t miss it. It’s often booked out (book early!) so there are always many people. Will definitely come back some day!
