The manager of the hostel is a one of a kind. She cleans herself, treat everyone like they are her children, cooked pasta for us one night❤️ The hostel itself is pretty neat, has a nice common area with a lot of opportunities to meet people.

There are luxury rooms with fantastic views and a solo travel part. I traveled alone and was looking for somewhere safe and unique. This place is where I will come back again for sure. The hotel offers a cozy 4-bed female room, and It’s a perfect place for solo travel. Staffs are also friendly.

The room was very comfortable and clean. It had all you need for comfortable stay. It was also cleaned by request during our long stay. Common kitchen well equipped, had mixer, microwave, toaster, rice cooker and gas stove with all utilities. I cooked breakfasts and sometimes even dinners there. Plenty areas where you can chill in common area. Good WiFi. Location is quiet and a bit distant from supermarkets, atm and exchange. But stuff was very accommodating and helped us with the ride for very friendly price. Also you can rent a scooter and it will be very convenient. There are few nice restaurants in a walking distance, beach is 400 meters from the place. It’s ok to swim in the evening, but in the morning time ebb tide is strong and you will need swimming shoes to go through line of stones to reach water. Overall we had great stay there.

Best hostel I’ve stayed at, the owner and staff are amazing. The beds are the comfiest I’ve slept in for a while and there’s a big common area that has beanbags, TVs with PlayStation 5s and plenty of fans to keep you cool. The hostel is also very close to everything you need, there’s a night market and 7/11 a 1 minute walk away.

The concept of the hostel is awesome how all the money goes to the students. The staff were really nice and friendly. If you're looking for a relaxed, quiet vibe, this is good for you. Free breakfast was amazing.

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.
