This was a recommendation from travellers we met on our trip. It's an independent travelers' favorite and we were lucky to find this hoste land to be able to stary. We recommend to book in advance. Bathrooms are plentiful and very clean. The shaded garden lures you into a world with it's own charm, where you can relax with a... More

This place was a great find: kind and welcoming staff, a lovely big doofa dog and the hostel was well presented with a good setup and well organised. A gang of cleaners turn up polishing the place every morning, and it shows! The guest house was freshly painted in bright colours. They made the beds and furniture in their own... More

I am compelled to tell my story about the resident dog who got some bas press from the last reviewer. I am not a dog lover and at first I was a little cautious, as he is a large dog. I watched him play with other guests, always being excited about meeting and playing with people. He just loves playing... More

You get a free wifi voucher every day. Luckily this is not a party place and I enjoyed meeting other travellers and the relaxed social atmosphere. Everyone is... More

My favorite hostel in the world. I was very impressed with the detail these guys put into their hostel. It is really well run with all modern comforts we need. Being a hobby chef, I loved the kitchen with all the pots and pans hanging up and the fact that they had sharp knives (a rare find in a hostel).... More
