The hostel is very nice, atmosphere and room were great, especially if you upgrade your room with a balcony! Very relaxing place, surrounded by palms and nature. Swimming pool and rest areas, birds chirping in the morning. Clean bathrooms.

I saw the owner(Peter) was cleaned the kitchen and mopped the floor by himself, and the policy which ppl tho not the guests can’t go in the backpacker is good, confirm other guests have a good relax time. the toilet is clean and big, good that only one person can use it at a time.

Highly recommend this hostel! The kitchen is spotless and the crew work hard to make the hostel as clean as possible. Not far from everything and free breakfast is just a bonus.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
