Reviews of The Cliff Hostel, M'Pay Bay

You’ll end up extending your stay! The island is beautiful, peaceful and super relaxing. The hostel has probably the best view of the sunset and just a short walk down the stone steps to a private snorkelling point. It’s paradise!

It is on a slight hill, beautiful for the sunset view :)

You have to pay for water refills.

The view is amazing. Also, you can access a private rocky beach

The rooms were a bit warm.

The service, location, and the vibe.

There was an error with a room. We booked a room with two beds, but three of my friends ended up share one bed.

Beautiful view, access to a snorkeling spot, nice chill area

The staff is extremely unhelpful and don't care... I stepped on a sea urchin and was in tears asking for help and first aid kit. They didnt even have one! I didn't expect a medical expertise from them but I was scared and in pain, relying on them cause it was the only local source of help I could get in the middle of the night on an island where there is no doctor or hospital. The guy didn't even bother to ask me if I'm okay and if is there anything I need. A hostel that offers access to snorkeling site should have a first aid kit and some vinegar in case someone hurts themselves. They didn't even know what vinegar is. The snorkel area is dangerous, many of my fellow guests ended up hurting themselves on the sharp rocks and corals and couldn't get any aftercare. No handsoap in the toilets.

I loved the open room with all the other guests. It was a nice atmosphere. The walk down to the sea (and also the view) is just amazing. You can rent snorkling gear and you should use it! Nice little restaurant also

Such hard communication with the staff. We booked for a few days here and after one terrible night (way too hot and noisy, rusty fan bearly worked, no wall to have some intimacy), we asked to cancel our stay and get a refund for the other nights. They refused to get us a refund even if there is a vague mention on booking that we could get one. Even if they are full every day, they said they already paid the booking commission and nobody else could book online for our beds. We contacted the custom service from booking and had an answer that they finally accepted to give us a refund for 2 nights that we accepted. Once at the hostel (1 hour after receiving the message from booking) they refused to give us the money back as they promised. You can make your own mind about this place but it's own by a "ghost" who runs the business like a factory and never showed up. They aren't involved in the community on the island, better to give money to smaller business with understanding people.

Stunning chill out area and view, comfy bed, good amount of toilets and showers. The sunset view is stunning. Quiet at night. Great for meeting new people. Cool snorkeling just off the place

If your worried about security this probably isn’t the place for you. The dorms are off the road with no doors or anything. Very open style living. My mosquito net had some small holes in it. The hike(short walk) up the hill from the pier is hot work 😅

really gorgeous location

no fan or ac and broken plug sockets! also the only thing separating you from the street is a curtain!

Amazing view and terasse, really like the snorkeling beach

The staff wasn’t nice and the dorm is open. Bad luck for us, it rained during our stay so we had some water coming in the room/bed

Great view, sweet baby kittens, chilled vibe, ventilator in single room

Small bathroom in single room no sink, shower over toilet.

open space, communal

10/15min walk up dirt hill

Nice hostel with a great common area overlooking the sea, has its own snorkelling area and the staff were really nice

Room was like a sauna with no air con and also didn’t have a sink

Everything! Lovely hostel in an amazing location. One of our favourite places on our trip to SE Asia
