Place was pretty run down but functional. Stayed in the double room with shared bathroom. Room was a bit dusty but otherwise clean. Bathrooms could do with a bit of a better clean but were not filthy. Shared kitchen facilities were reasonable. Sweet lounge area with TV. Good location in centre of town.

The man who let me in didn’t seem very happy with people. However, the woman i talked to from there on out was amazing. Super sweet, and upgraded me from a 6bed room to a 4bed room with 3 other girls, which was super nice since i’m a female solo traveller. The bed was super comfortable and the duvet was so soft, i had the best night of sleep i’ve had in ages! The bathroom was honestly so nice, with a stone sink and a nice shower. Absolutely loved it.

The whole place is filled to the brim with such kind people. It was super clean and super welcoming. I come down for work and stayed here and it was honestly such a great choice. The 4 bed dorm was exactly what I needed and I highly recommend if your travelling through.

An absolutely lovely place which was super clean, quiet and in an excellent location - close to the beach and shops. The hosts were very friendly and kind, happy to chat and give advice/recommendations for the area. The rooms and gardens were beautiful, they'd clearly had a lot of love put into them. Everyone I met was really friendly and would gather around the fire pit in the evening to chat. I ended up staying here for 2 months and loved it, would strongly recommend this place to all.

Location is okay, 300 metres from the beach. Downside, lots of small cockroaches on kitchen counters, Flies in TV communal area. Rooms attract plenty pf mosquitoes, esp if your room faces the courtyard. 6 bed dorms used to be horse stables, turned into dorm rooms. Owner has 5 dogs, mind the dog poo in the mornings. Favouritism is shown to Australian guests, over European guests. Music plays on an outside radio until late, guests can party at the back courtyard table until 3-4 in the morning. If your room faces the courtyard, forget about getting a good sleep. You can only pay cash at this hostel, tax avoidance? Owner is frequently stoned, and often moody. Cannot recommend this hostel for families, with young children.

The hostel has a comfy bed, the dorm is spacious and has an ensuite. They have a loud noisy stero that plays until you ask them to turn it down, at 11pm. There wasn't even anyone out their listening to it. Then they have noisy peolle in the common room talking all hours. If you want to come to sleep you need a good set of ear plugs otherwise don't bother.

An interesting building with a great outdoor space of garden and Balinese seating. A nice fire to warm your bones and good showers and kitchen. The owners, realistic and engaging. Close to shops and beaches. No Novatel but nice all round.

The beds were comfy and the room was nice, we were fortunate to have an en-suite bathroom with a lovely shower. However the room and bathroom weren’t cleaned whilst we were there. The kitchen facilities were bad, with lots of mess and flies. There is no where to eat indoors. There is a big, nice outdoor area which again wasn’t very tidy. The shared fridges were disgusting and are obviously never cleaned out. One of the young girls that worked there was rude and unhelpful. Overall an OK stay but wouldn’t really want to stay there again.
