"Don’t bother"

2.0

Nothing

Female dorm on ground floor near kitchen and common area. Lots of notices saying to respect quiet and privacy but not enforced. People competing to be the loudest way into the early hours. I’ve been travelling for 4 months and this is the noisiest hostel I’ve stayed in. If you have to avoid the ground floor! Also under the flight path!

"I enjoyed my stay until they used strong chemicals for mosquitos"

7.0

Location, staff and in house kitchen

They used a chemical mosquito repellent that was so strong it gave me an allergy and a rash. I wish they had used more natural methods or at least warned guests so we could vacate the room.

"I stayed here to save money but it was an extremely uncomfortable stay."

4.0

The location and the kitchen staff and that the place was largely clean

The beds are too small even by the standard of bunk beds, people in the dorm can get really hostile. In my case I have a bit of a snoring problem when I am too tired, someone from the dorm went and complained to the caretaker who was stupid enough to mention it to me. I felt the overall vibe of the place extremely hostile and unfriendly except the cook who is really sweet and cooks good fresh meals daily. There was also no measure taken for mosquitos. Had to ask multiple times for a mosquito repellent. Also, in the women's dorm all the people were hanging their wet, damp and smelly clothes inside the dorm even though there was a drying area outdoors. I don't know why the staff doesn't do anything about it.
