The location is excellent… right on the water with beach access. Amenities very good. Food/bar/music on site. Staff were wonderful. Would definitely stay here again.

The hostel is right on the beach and was really huge and felt like a resort. It has a great bar area overlooking the sea. The rooms were quite decent sized and the free welcome drink was a great idea.

Great location right next to the beach and rocks, walking distance from the ferry terminal and shops. Staff are friendly and helpful. Overall good facilities which are regularly cleaned.

Location, location, location.. view from the cabin was amazing, bus stop at the front of the property was very convenient . Staff were friendly and helpful too.

My room was right in front on the beach. Most of the staff were very warm and kind. Also super helpful with advice, directions and information.

Had such a great time staying at Base! Lots of drinking, met so many cool travelers even though it's covid times. The staff we so friendly and amazing and helped me out and put up with my drunkenness. Spent a day traveling around the island with this awesome group from the hostel. Just 100% a good time. Thanks so much Base staff. You guys killed it! Xxx Jess

Location, right on the beach. There was a bar so probably the most lively place on the island. Very pretty area, cottages, pool.

Facilities were great ... seeing the sunrise in the morning was amazing

Amazing Location with breath taking view of the ocean.We saw a wallaby in front of our room which was amazing. They have daily events at night which is great as you get to meet new people. Staff was great.

I really liked the bungalows, a different experience for once. Also the staff was very friendly and was organising events during the day and night, so there was always something fun to do. I loved the hammocks underneath the palm trees and constantly a view of the sea.
