“Great value for money.”
Very good value for money. There is no AC which is okay for the very cheap price, but it was very hot in the room.

Super comfy beds. spacious dining area, safe and lovely place to stay and rest, even just to read a book for days. Reminded me my school hostel days 😁. Some huge trees in the backyard. Ideal space to do some yoga and meditation under trees because its calm and quiet even though it is closer to main road and the beach. Helpful and kind staff. Cozy place. Highly recommended.

“Great location with a fully equipped kitchen, but terrible Wi-Fi and not enough sockets in the common area.”
I stayed at this hostel for 2 nights. It was great that there was a fully equipped kitchen with two refrigerators — you can cook your own meals. The hostel is also very close to the sea and the main road, which makes both travel and walks very convenient. The downsides: there aren't enough power sockets in the lounge area, and the Wi-Fi quality is absolutely terrible — it doesn't work properly anywhere, neither in the room nor in the common area.

“Okayish”
Located about 2 km from the town, so you may need transport to get around easily. The property itself is nice and well-maintained. The host was good, friendly, and helpful during the stay. Overall, an okay experience.
