    I had a fantastic stay! The property is beautifully designed, making it easy to fall in love with. This was my first time staying in a hostel, and I’m really happy with the experience. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, always greeting with a smile. I also booked a bike and my transfer to PPS through them, which was very convenient.

    The private room was pretty small. There’s no daily cleaning. Lastly, it takes awhile for the hot water to come on and the pressure of the water was weak.

    The location was close to town. The property offer welcome drink and include breakfast. Nice ambience with swimming pool.

    Bathrooms can be a little dirty for moments (normal in a hostel with so many people) and also there was like 2 hour where there was no water. Bad timming for me to shower.

    Breakfast is great, beds comfortable and big. Also it was so easy to book trip to the islands, rent bike and other activities in the front desk.

    I really loved this place! I had a great stay here. It is well looked after and very clean. The beds were very big and comfy, with privacy curtains and plug sockets and shelves right next to each bed. Rooms had a key card access, and huge lockers, so felt very safe and secure. The breakfast was also amazing, with fruit, toast, eggs, pancakes etc. Lots of lounge areas, outdoor spaces and a co-working space. I will say, however, that this probably wasn't the most social hostel - people seemed to just keep to themselves.

    It was harder to socialise due to the ample space. The laundry situation was confusing at first - I would have appreciated clearer communication on that part.

    Honestly, one of the best hostels we have stayed at - spacious, ample privacy, great location & facilities.

    There are no duvet/sheet to have over you when you sleep, just a heavy blanket that i didn't use. I ended up using my sleeping bag liner.

    I loved the location. You could just walk everywhere. It felt safe both to walk to restaurants, the sea etc, and safe at the hostel. The room was nice, with private bathroom and towels included. Also nice with breakfast included. Loved the hostel area.

    This is an amazing hostel. It’s very clean, it’s quiet, the staff is nice. Check in is easy. Tuk tuks are right outside which makes getting anywhere super easy. Good wifi. Great showers. The beds are massive. There is a restaurant and bar on-site. Short 5 min walk to town which is great because you’re away from all the noise. I really loved it here.

    Bathroom door locks need replacing. Shower areas could use shower mats etc to help keep cleaner. Some other guests were noisy late at night.

    Excellent location, facilities and standard for hostel. Breakfast was amazing. Easy walk to everything in town. Pool area and nest communal chill zone were great for relaxation Filtered drinking water available was great. Staff were super lovely and helpful always.
