“Great social atmosphere very kind staff.”
Location was great can walk everywhere. The staff and his volunteers were all kind and very nice. Great social atmosphere with Tony organizing events very often like dinners etc. I was ill during our stay and he was really helpful on helping me get to the hospital and checking I was okay! I would totally recommend staying here to hang out with people.

“Positive, friendly, open and accomodating”
Ringo foyer has a very relaxed, warm, open and friendly environment. All the volunteer staff and staying guests definitely add the charm. It was a sociable and wholesome environment to meet people from different parts of the world and share life stories. The library space and rooftop is a great offer. Will definitely come and stay when I come back to melaka!

Their rooftop offers a stunning views for sunset and right below the library is a dream. The staff, especially the owner is adorable and very helpful. It is a true backpacker hostel and I loved it!

For the price of the rooms I don't think you could find much better value around. We stayed in a private room (shared bathroom) which was clean enough and had good working AC. The bed was comfy, though I'd have liked another pillow or two. The staff/volunteers are communicative and there seems to be a lot of group activities planned via a WhatsApp group The location is great with all the major attractions within walking distance.

“Great hospitality and nice atmosphere”
This was a really kind and polite place where the staff made an effort to help you out. Location near the river walk and centre. Rooftop to hang out. Just a pleasant and social place. Also I just want to mention and appreciate that the owner returned me some extra money for some kind of issue I didn't even notice which was not expected at all and showed their generosity.

The hostel is located in a very central location. There is 3 different social areas where you can sit and relax. There are some activities every evening and you have access to a pool located a few minutes away by grab. The place has a nice social vibe and the owner is super friendly! I would definitely recommend this place if you are planning to visit Malacca!

“worst experience ever”
I had a terrible experience at this hostel. The place is not clean at all, and everything feels extremely old and worn out. The bathrooms were dirty, with no proper sink for washing my face, and there were no mirrors available for dressing up. The pillow covers were filthy, which was very unhygienic. To make things worse, the AC was turned off during the daytime for no apparent reason. I have stayed in many hostels before, but this was by far my worst experience. When I went to the rooftop, everything was so dirty that I felt like I might catch a skin infection. On top of that, I was sneezing all night, likely due to dust or poor air quality. I would not recommend this place to anyone looking for a clean and comfortable stay. Not worth a penny!

i was really happy to stay at ringos :) I was travelling alone and the Volunteers work make it super easy to engage with others through one activity everyday. Also the owner is super charismatic ! The dorm contains a lot of people but still you get the feeling of private space ! Hoping to come back soon !🌸
