    Only problem, was with the plumbing on one day it made it a little smelly in the room.

    Staff went above and beyond and were lovely people form PoYe on reception to Jue, who cleaned the rooms and was lovely to chat to and happy to help, as well as Cola, who was definitely an affable and entertaining character! Food was very good too, all other bar and restaurant staff such as Dim, I think, were all lovely!

    Takes around 20/25mins to walk to centre but you can just rent a moped or get tuktuk

    Dorms are very spacious, there’s lots of room for you bag. Nice pool area, social hostel but not party

    Unfortunately one of the Reps at the hostel made me a bit uncomfortable on occasions. I think he was trying to be funny however he would yell and swear a lot during card games and it was to a point where it wasn’t funny or light hearted anymore. He continued after I told him it wasn’t funny too. The other rep however, (Louis I believe but I could be wrong) was AMAZING!! He was so friendly and approachable

    The facilities were possibly the best I have seen over the last two months! The sleeping arrangement was AMAZING! Each bed had so much space and storage.

    Far away from centre. 20min walk to night market. Everyone comes back at 2am from bowling. Could feel all the springs in the bed. Overpriced

    Restaurant attached. Pool. Book trips and taxis.

    Pretty far away from the old town, where the night market and bars and restaurants are. LP in general is a pretty quiet city and so all the common areas and bar shut at 11.

    Good facilities, beds were pretty comfortable and the bar was good for meeting people - I had breakfast there in the mornings.

    one person behind reception not so good or helpful at all. bed’s uncomfortable, pillows not good. woken up at 3am every day due to local chicken farm next to room. Aircon did not work neither did Wifi

    pool was nice, food was decent at times. mr cola and Andy made the stay for us. great entertainment and vibes. without them guys the rating would not be so high

    - a bit far from the city center (when it’s 40 degrees Celsius outside xD) - mattress should be renewed

    - nice atmosphere and friendly people - thanks to sliding doors in front of the bed it feels like having your own room

    The property is around 25 minute walk from the town, but it is an easy walk.

    Great staff, good atmosphere, chilled during the day, but not too much party by night - although the events were good fun. The rooms are clean and comfortable. Recommended for a couple, a solo traveller or a group.

    If you had an upper bunk you had to find your way up to find the light switch. The music before 11 is like standing in the middle of a dancefloor. One shower and one toilet for 12 beds. The tuktuk from the slow boat won’t take you here! Get an extra from city center or walk 15-20min.

    I had issues because I heard about MM in other city’s. But it was alright. The music stopped at 11 and I got good sleep. Spacious and comfy beds. Welcome drink included. They offer nice tours for a decent price.

    The toilets and showers in the rooms, the doors don’t shut properly. I refused to use the facilities in the rooms because of this.

    The security guard, Song was amazing. He was by far the best staff member there, he told us everything we could do in the area and helped us sort out a tuktuk at 5am. He was so friendly.

    The dorm room was very dirty all the time, but mostly because of other people who stayed in the same room. Toilet blocked, puke on the floor etc and it took a while to get the room clean

    Staff was nice and helpful with everything! Bed was good and big for a dorm bed, enough space for your stuff

    We had a shocking experience with the front reception staff being really unhelpful and unprofessional when an incident happened with renting bikes. After reassuring us our passports would be kept at the property in a safe they handed over our passports and they were taken to a random location in which they tried to make us pay to get them back.
