Everything is pretty good to stay for a while. Advantages is a kitchen in the property and walking distance to different beaches. At night is pretty loud until 12-12.30 am.

The room was comfortable but next to the washing so it’s quiet loud plus it’s bright in the room with the blinds down. Breakfast at Mr.waffle isn’t bad and worth a bite so no complaints!

The property is nice and close to everything but not quiet at night. Breakfast in the morn is great! Staff is really nice and helpful. There’s an odd odor as well, maybe the plants? Otherwise cute place.

No hot water in room 201. Mirrors slightly dirty. Sheets/pillow cases smelled of body odor. No WiFi, no tv that worked. Good location, excellent customer service, made every effort to appease problems, was provided with free breakfast at nearby restaurant which was very yummy. Nice atmosphere, gardens. Rooms were larger than expected and nice. Bed and pillows were comfy for enjoyable sleep.

Wifi does not work in the bedrooms. They only cleaned twice in a 7 day stay although we had asked them on two different days to clean and said they would but didn’t. We booked an extra night with front desk at a certain price only to back to pay and it was a much higher then told. We didn’t extend our stay.

The state of the place shocking and the service. The noise form the stress is so loud. When I checked in I was given a bed sheet, so I had to make my own bed and the sheets were so thin. The utensils in the space hardly exist and the one that are there are flirty and dirty. It was use and no one washed them. I asked the staff about directions to travel, his answer was I don’t know and asked me to seek the tour operator which scared me. I believe the hostels and the tour operator are connected There is no hot water. The air condition was never switch on so the room was too hot and the place is dirty.

Loved staying here. Originally booked for 1 night and ended up booking 3 more nights. Very chill atmosphere, it is noisy at night from the street and the music, so if you’re a light sleeper bring ear plugs. Breakfast was wonderful. Only issues were a little more language barrier than I’d have thought, no lights for each bunk, so hard to do anything if anyone is sleeping and 1 toilet for 10 people. But overall AMAZING stsy!

My toilet broke, the handle on my bedroom door fell off and I got trapped in my room. The sheets were stained and room wasn't very clean. There was no hot water. The staff was great though and the location was right in the middle of town.
9-night trip

4/10

There is no signboard with the hotel name. The music from the nearby bar continues until around midnight and is very noisy. There are many dark and suspicious shops compared to the main street.Residents' personal belongings were scattered throughout the dormitory's kitchen and shared shower room. I stayed there just to sleep, but I don't think I can survive there.

Fell down the stairs since they decided to use plastic slick paint on the handrails which are also covered on tree gunk, the stairs are steep with a few remnants of anti slip strips, those are nearly eroded from I suspect are multiple falls. The staff heard the commotion and witness the bruises on myself and my toddler, their answer was to evade the topic and just indicate that they couldn't take care of it because of bad weather, some rain. On the last morning there was a block energy blackout and of course this dingy place had no back up power, which led to us precariously trying to not fall again while climbing the death stairs now without any light to help find the last remnants of anti slip strips No TV service, bad WiFi, bad toilets. This place is lucky I'm not litigious which might be what has led to such an abismal service.

The doorknob to my room was broken. Towels are very old, torn and dirty looking. Shower head squirts water from 9 tiny holes. Bathroom smells like urine. Staircase to room is dirty with stains.
