    The staff was sometimes a little bit pushy about alcohol (free shots etc.) and always tried to arrange a party atmosphere. I don't mind party but don't want to be forced.

    Perfect location. The staff was very helpful and arranged all the transport from and to the Pier.

    Missing a vibe but with the owner will come in time. Close to nest (if you like to party) and an easy walk to the main village.

    New place but getting more and more put together. Beds are comfortable, has individual plugs, and privacy curtain. AC and fan in the room works well.

    Excellent location at the end of Long Set beach. Right next to Nest but far enough away that you don't hear the music when you're trying to sleep. Only 30 minute walk along the beach path to the main village. The owner David is funny, knowledgeable, helpful and gets to know all his guests. He rented me the best motorbike I've had in southeast Asia. I will definitely stay here again when I come back.

    The food is very average, but normal as the cooks are still in “training”. The location is not the best, but it is very close to Nest and Kaoh Touch Beach is a 15 minute walk through the forest (on a path).

    David is a very nice guy, that just started his hostel. He is very interested and wants to help you with everything. Everything is new and therefore very clean and there are nice big beds.

    All good. But maybe They could have dinner menu. Would be awesome because no to many options to buy food during the night. But i hope they have it soon as a new hostel.

    Very well located 2 min walk to the beach and to the Nest. So you can sleep perfectly without listen loud music, and if you like the nest party or the beach. You are super close. The staff is super friendly they invited us traditional cambodia coffee and we shared a local meal together. As Argentinian i love they have free hot water every time I asked for my mate [Argentinian tea] and also they have free refill of water. David is the owner of this new hostel and always they make us feel confortable. The room has lockers with padlock and own light and curtains. So %100 privacy. I really recommend to stay here and support the local people and learn/share more about Cambodia.

    Had a great stay at David’s hostel. It’s a pretty new place so the facilities are quite basic but if you’re looking for clean and comfortable place to stay at, then this is the place for you! The hostel owner was very welcoming and approachable, great way to connect with locals.

    WORST HOSTEL EXPERIENCE IVE EVER HAD!
    • Leisure trip

    -When i arrived, david said he had overbooked and wanted me to sleep in the same bed as a girl who arrived at the same time as me. He also wanted us to pay full price despite asking us to share a bed. -The owner is rude and is always high or drunk. -the owner is lazy. More times than not when i needed something the owner just waved me off and told me to come back later(always napping) many other people experienced this problem. -only 2 "working" bathrooms for more than 25 people also the bathrooms are disgusting and there was never toilet paper. -showers are cold and full of piss. -on saturday a huge party is held there until about 4 am with the LOUDRST MUSIC EVER. -people regularily have sex in the dorms and i never saw them switch the sheets. (My bed was disgusting when i arrived. -the owner is greedy. He takes a 5 dollar deposit for towels and only returns 4 becuase of the "cleaning fee" All in all if i could give this hostel less than 1 star i would. I cannot believe this place has 9 stars. It deserves 3 AT MOST!

    I liked nothing. This hostel is the worst one ive ever been to.

    the owner is kinda rude & only wants to make money, isn’t very helpful & very unprofessional. he asked a few people to sleep in the same bed, because he overbooked the place. he made a lot of inappropriate comments to girls & touched them without consent. i felt very unsafe when he was around. it was very loud when nestival happened, as its the place of the after party. the beds are hard & the room is always full of sand, because it doesn’t get cleaned. there’s no hot water in the showers and the toilets were always clogged or out of order

    it was close to nestival (but also very loud during the night)

    The host was being inappropriate towards some female guests at times, especially one girl in my room felt very unsafe because of his behaviour. Others seemed to enjoy it. He was also drinking and smoking weed while working and wanted to party with the guests when he was not working, the line of what's professional and what's not got blurry. But if you are into that kind of vibe, this place is for you. I became hesitant to interact with the staff because I felt uncomfortable.

    The beds were big and comfortable. Toilets and showers are outside and clean (no hot water). Location was ok. Its easier to go with the ferry to long set beach than the main pier. They dropped me off by the pier for free when I was going back. The restaurant was ok.
