Shingos Backpackers

Rude Receptionist or female owner, not so polite when customers are checking in,too worried about collecting money and not focused on good customer service.Kitchen cramped and very dirty after use ,ended up cleaning the messy kitchen few nights. Fridge is terribly full of food stuff and drinks and there's bound to be mix up or swap of food items stored in fridge,she ends up calling guests as "stealing" when a guest accidentally takes another guests soft drink by mistake,not intentional though .Despite explanations that it was not deliberate as same things were bought and left in fridge she keeps saying "you are stealing few times", what an insult, such a terrible rude person she is.

Bed not comfortable,very thin mattress,kitchen often dirty most times and not cleaned by guests faithfully and the lady owner is rude and does not understand guests at times or find good solutions instead of calling bad names to guests. Why would we be stealing when we have money to spend that's why we are travelling as tourists, unbelievable hospitality industry operating.

Price was cheap

Wasn't shown where anything was. No safe place to store personal items. Bathroom was creepy and no Stalls just one big room. Sheets didn't fit the bed. No pillows.

The beds were comfy and very clean. Overall it was very good for the price!

Some things were broken, liike the ladder to the bunk bed, but was still able to mount without ladder.

The price does not lie, don't come with high expectations. They provide clean linen to you upon arrival, you'll make up your bed, or not if you wish.

The communal kitchen and bathrooms are too messy, mainly because they are shared with people who don't really care about housekeeping rules and the owners clean them once a week. All showers areas have certain disadvantages, you'll choose which disadvantage you can survive.

It is the cheapest Backpackers hostel that has the very basics, the name,the rate and what it provides is very basics, comfortable air conditioned shared beds to rest,enough toilets to use which are clean, warm showers with good flow of water,well equipped kitchen area to cook and eat, cheapest washing machine in town with only $3 per load to use and have your all clothes cleaned , great place to rest ,save and save money, only disadvantage the couches should have new covers to cover them daily ,first impression puts you off as looks dirty. Place needs regular cleaners to empty rubbish bins,clean toilets and deodorise and clean table and furniture surfaces so place will smell fresh and clean,floor as well needs to be mopped,cleaned with fresh smelling detergents to bring freshness.More clothe lines needed as well, otherwise great place with all basic comforts in life,warm showers,cheap laundry,warm comfortable bed,enough toilets and showers rooms and kitchen available.

Dull dirty couches,needs covers to be put on them daily,washed and cleaned.Daily cleaning required to empty rubbish bins and wipe and clean furnitures ,tables,couches to give that fresh smell and clean kitchen and toilet areas as place is often crowded and hygiene is important.
