    Rooms were very small and the beds aren’t separated, would be good with even some wood or something between the beds. It is exactly as you see small room, no reception area straight off the street.

    Property was in a great area and the owner was lovely and put a lot of effort into making the place fun, also gave a discount on a booze cruise which he runs and super secure

    The hostel’s interior decoration was superb. Rooms were quiet, neat and clean. Beds were comfy. Free coffee, cookies, and water were there all the time. The host was very kind and responded promptly to each query.

    My wall plug charger was taken from being plugged into my bed. There was also a leak in the bathroom and the floor was very very wet.

    It is just a single room with beds in it and a bathroom attached. It’s very central which is convenient.

    Comfortable beds, perfect location but smelly and not clean enough

    There is not much privacy, you share a curtain with the top and lower bunk so that is very impractical. If someone gets in bed it is very loud as well. Between the beds is a small curtain/screen but it doesn't completely close of. That means people next to you can easily look in and you hear more noise. Also that little curtain fell down when i was staying there, it is not very wel secured. Shower is small and there arent any hooks to put your dry and clean clothes or towel. The thing that made this experience not great was the cleanliness, the owner told me the cleaner was sick so she cleaned so maybe that is the reason. But when I came in after the cleaner was there is was still dirty. The floors are sticky and covered with sand and other stuff. It seems like it doesn't get vacuumed or mopped. Where you store the bag it is really dirty and sandy. My bed light did not work. And also the toilet was pretty dirty. The worst thing however was the smell, it smelled like sweaty feet the whole time I was there and even with use of the room spray it did not go away. If they would improve the cleaning it could really be a great place.

    Honestly the location is great and the owners were nice and respond quickly. The matress and bed were comfortable. It is quite small but you can also see that in the pictures, and it is very cheap.

    It's very small. We were only 3 and it felt small, having it fully booked must be very tight. The one bathroom is tiny. No lights by the beds and the room is quite dark. Curtains are one single piece per bunk bed, meaning that the person on top and the one on the bottom is sharing the same curtain.

    The staff was very friendly, loved that they provide locks and water free of charge! And it was very quiet once the door was shut.

    The space is pretty small so when crowded it gets busy but it is kept clean and is to be expected for the price and looking at the photos.

    Hosts were very friendly and accommodating they gave us everything we needed and made sure we had a great stay. Location was perfect, close to everything and very central in the village.

    The hostel was clean, had everything you need. Even extras like hot water, cereal coffees ect. The room was very cosy and the owner is lovely. Great location everything is in walking distance beach, shops restaurants right outside the door. This hostel is different to the rest there is a pin code to access the door making it even more safe. Really enjoyed my stay - Thankyou !
