The location was perfect - a 2 minute walk from the beach, right next to a very fun and cheap bar, but with a nice little inner area that was ideal for an afternoon rest and recharge. There was always quick service to provide some food or a cocktail. We used the place as a great base for scuba diving (me) and exploring local nightlife (my friend).

FijiWe liked the relaxing vibes and community feel of Makofi. We had a room with air conditioning, a great bathroom, and a lovely balcony with a ceiling fan. It's a nice place to hang out and meet other travelers, and the food was good, too. The swings were relaxing, and I loved my bacon sandwich.

United States of AmericaReally good vibes in this hostel with great facilities. The breakfast is also really good, and they organise BBQ nights as well. It's a very short walk to the beach, yet very quiet.

United Arab EmiratesThe staff at Makofi help take the experience from a 9 to a 10. Everyone is so friendly, willing to chat and share experiences as well as awesome hosts, helping to make your stay better. Everyone wears a smile at all times and helps keep the common areas clean at all times. The beach is a quick 4 minute walk away, which is the perfect amount. Walking distance to all of the clubs, bars, and restaurants that you may be interested in visiting. We also loved connecting with the other guests at Makofi. Additionally, the food and drinks at Makofi are a great value and delicious! I can't wait to come back.
