The staff is wonderful, so helpful with any questions or needs. And the facilities are spotless and so comfortable, with laundry, clean bathrooms, and a beautiful swimming pool right on the beach, together with a beach towel when you ask for it.

The garden is beautiful! Very peaceful, an escape from the city. The beds are comfortable and the bicycles are so nice to take to tour around the city! The staff is amazing! I needed to go to the hospital and they were willing to come with me and help me with everything I needed.

EVERYTHING!!! Sam and his wife are amazing, we really felt like family. Also the community and the people in the hostel are just spectacular. We’d always come back 🥰 Pick up and drop off to the pier is also available for a cheap price.

This is one of the best hostels I have stayed at an Asia. It was beautiful. The rooms are so comfortable, there is a kitchen for you to use and a nice communal area. The staff are lovely and always willing to help. I have nothing to fault with this hostel. It is also in a great location.
