"Friendly, welcoming beachfront stay"

8.0

The location was great, just a little way to the main town. Walkable but better to rent a bike and ride into town. Kabuki cab was a couple dollars and a great option when the weather isn't great. The beach was excellent and nice to have the little cabanas to get out of the sun/rain. The weather wasn't great when we were there so no swimming or beach lounging for us. The restaurant was pretty good. Nice breakfast. The shower was good and nice and clean. The shared kitchen was nice and had plenty of supplies and the staff were super friendly and welcoming.

"Nice beach cramped room"

7.0

The hostel is on the beach which is cool. The staff were very friendly

The room was very small and had no window (even though the listing shows windows in every photo). The room smelt damp and mouldy and it was cramped with 2 people.

"Agréable quand il ne pleut pas"

7.0

Très joli endroit, belle plage, restaurant et bar disponible directement sur place

Un peu loin du centre (surtout s’il pleut), odeur d’humidité avec la pluie, matériel pas toujours en bon état à la cuisine, pas d’endroit pour faire sécher ses habits s’il pleut

"Very Good"

7.0

Insgesamt hat mir das Hostel gut gefallen, vor allem die Lage direkt am Strand, die wirklich super ist. Man kann Fahrräder leihen und ist damit auch schnell im Ort. Die Atmosphäre im Hostel ist eher entspannt und ruhig und es gibt einige Hängematten. Einen Pluspunkt gibt es auch für den Trinkwasserspender.

Leider war der Schlafsaal sehr feucht und roch deutlich modrig. Bereits nach einer Nacht bekam ich starke Probleme mit einer verstopften Nase und Druck in den Nebenhöhlen. Ein Zimmerwechsel war möglich, allerdings nur in ein direkt angrenzendes Zimmer. Auf meinen Hinweis, dass der Geruch möglicherweise von Schimmel kommen könnte, wurde eher wenig Verständnis gezeigt und das Problem anderen Gästen zugeschrieben. Das neue Zimmer roch besser, meine Beschwerden klangen aber erst nach Verlassen des Hostels langsam ab. Mir ist klar dass es in diesem tropischen Klima schwierig ist, die hohe Feuchtigkeit zu vermeiden, aber hier besteht definitiv Renovierungsbedarf. Wie auch in anderen Bewertungen schon erwähnt sind die Matratzen außerdem extrem durchgelegen und unbequem.
