I loved this hostel ! Very nice social atmosphere when I was there. Wish I had stayed longer ! Even though it's a bit far from the beaches they organize shuttles so that's very convenient.

“Great owner and beautiful beaches”
The owner and his wife were amazing to us. Drives everyone to the beaches in the morning before it gets busy and even gave us a lift to the beach in the evening on his way home as he drove past us. Kitchen well stocked and good social atmosphere. Much better experience than just a day trip.

The Kerama Backpackers staff were great! They were kind enough to drive us back and forth all around the island, and gave us local recommendations in this remote island. Thank you for your kindness!

“Loved our stay on this little island and at Kerama Backpackers. Morino was great and super helpful.”
Staff were friendly and Morino made it super easy for us to get too and from the beach each day! Can hire bikes through the backpackers as well!

The owners are really nice people. They answer any question really quickly and when we arrived by the ferry, they came to pick us up. They offer a ride to go to the beaches of the island since the hostel is on the other side of where the beaches are. the dorms were confortable and everything was clean. They have a nice commun space that is annexe to the main building. Most people stay there for just one or two nights, but the vibes are still good and people are friendly.

“Super clean hostel with easy access to beaches with shuffle bus”
Super clean. Quiet and chill atmosphere. Super marked and a couple of restaurants close by. Walking distance (with luggage) from the pier. Easy and free shuffle bus to/from the beaches. Easy to get to know people, all ages from the world. More solo travelers than groups.
