Worst place we've stayed on our three month trip so far. Absolute rip off 400B per night for a rock hard bed and non-stop loud music in the room. It's nice to party but also great to able to sleep when you need to... so this place wasn't ideal really! The entire room was shaking and my friend found a bedbug on the first night and we moved to another hostel straight away with no refund for the second night we had booked and didn't use. The staff do speak some English but look completely miserable and aren't very helpful. The toilets also block very easily and cleanliness is exceedingly poor. Sadly the sewage from the island also spills onto the beach where this hostel is located, giving it poor aesthetics and a terrible smell. The pictures online are very deceiving to say the least.

I thought customers were suppose to be respected not insulted. AS an American tourist, we both felt scared and insulted. We will notify the authorities about them and the people who spoke at us in such a derogatory way as we took...
Read moreWe were partying happily at their hostel bar. My friend was in the way of the skipping rope. A STAFF MEMBER pushed him away aggressively. They then AGGRESSED FURTHER and our friends genuinely went in the middle of the argument to mutually stop it. we genuinely GOT PUNCHED BY THE STAFF. I started to push my friends away to Maturely leave the fight. I personally got PUNCHED AGAIN meanwhile. My FRIEND is now WITH the PARAMEDICS as he has a large CUT ON HIS EYE from being PUNCHED by the STAFF of this HOSTEL. do not recommend as a hostel at all amd the staff are AGGRESSIVE, VIOLENT and UNREASONABLE.
I still have a headache from being punched twice from splitting up the fight neutrally...
