    Well, there are a couple of things that can make the place better, obviously is the speed of internet and the quality of it. One of the solutions is to buy a few simple and cheap wifi magnifier so that visitors can have wifi everywhere especually in the rooms. I personally am willing to help that happen, for every one if I can have an est. 🙏🤍 And lastly, is the water which for some older people like me, was a little cold which was of course lasts for the first couple of minutes. it could be installed however put it on lukewarm by using minimum heat. But even without them both I still choose Mobay Kotch.

    Finally a place I enjoyed staying in in my recent years trips as a solo traveler. Venessa, not only a beautiful person inside and outsidd, but a great hostess. She was always helping peoplefor anything they needed to do, how to get around the town, where to shop, where to go and at the same time she was just like one of us, travellers, sitting with us like old friends, sharing her life story. It was lovely for me to know her and I know everyone else thinks the same about her. The next best thing about this palce, is that it is only a 10 minutes WALK from beach! It is in the centre of shops, restaurants, and street sellers of all kinds of stuff...I mean all kinds, all day and night!😉 Travellers mostly are backpackers from Europe, Canada and America, sometimes a few locals. Another fun time, apart from sitting outside in the beautiful backyard and eat while we were all freely sharing our life stories, was Venessa's gorgeous 5 years old she-dog, "Pica" which quickly became the star of the show/trip. Very friendly, big, black and brown, cuddly, lover of her soft baseball, throwing/fetching. You would fall in love with her. There's also a nice and quiet place for your hammock time. Vanessa and everyone still there, you all gave me a wonderful memory. I'll definitely and absolutely go there again. Wonderful memory, wonderful people, wonderful experience. Highly recommend.

    You pay the same price to be in a dorm or to be in a room with only 3 beds.

    We loved the atmosphere, the spaces inside where we can chill and chat with people from the hostel.

    It takes a while to get used to, but it was hot and lack air conditioner. But regardless you get used to it. And it was amazing.

    I like the open space outdoors, and shared room. You get to socialize with multiple people. I had make friends with so many people. One of the best places to stay at.
