I had the pleasure of staying at this hostel, and it was truly a delightful experience. The atmosphere felt like a home away from home, thanks to the incredibly warm and welcoming host, Sam. His kindness and genuine hospitality made our stay exceptional. The hostel itself exudes freshness, and the beds were remarkably comfortable – a perfect combination for a good night's sleep. Sam's dedication to ensuring our comfort and enjoyment was evident throughout our stay, and I am immensely grateful for the positive impact he had on our overall experience. In summary, I highly recommend this hostel, not just for its clean and cozy ambiance but also for the exceptional host, Sam, who goes above and beyond to make guests feel like family. My sincere thanks to Sam for making our stay truly memorable.

The place is peaceful and beautiful, the owner super kind and helpful! The area is quite local but has still beautiful beaches and waterfalls. There are also great local restaurants very close. The owner pick us up from the pier for the check in and check out which was a real plus. The free bicycle rental was also very practical to move around. I’d highly recommend to have a break from the touristy and agitated areas of the islands.

The owners are very friendly and kind. They assisted with everything. A friend had an accident with the scooter and they took care of everything. Laundry service available. Good position. Powerful A/C. They could provide better cloth storage or a mirror in the room in the future, but they just opened a month aho and i think they‘re coming up with that.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is 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 bit more.
