We booked a private room with ensuite at the Nega Maluca based on good reviews we had read. Unfortunately when we got there we were shown to a fairly claustrophobic room that smelled of a mixture between mould and wet dog. The bed sheet was pretty dirty - we found hair, dog footprints and even a tooth pick on the bed!

On the bright side the communal areas were pretty good (nice patio, kitchen - just a little dirty - and good free internet), and the people who run the hostel appear to be nice. However we couldn't sleep in that bed so we ended up forfeiting our one night's deposit and finding another place.

If the managers read this review - maybe you shouldn't let your dog lie on the bed after you've cleaned the room? more
