Sun Valley Backpackers Inn

Nothing

Room was full of mosquitos and the water was yellow and the air con didn’t work and the bunk beds were just horrible and the pool was just a green fish tank not healthy for anyone to swim and we had random kids in our rooms all day and the door only had a suitcase size lock

Nothing

Pool was dirty green fish tank rooms were disgusting and full of bugs the water in the bathrooms is yellow and stinks the entire place is also a day care center for kids and kids will go in your room all day the door lock is just a suitcase lock and this is definitely just a hostel for homeless people and avoid this place

If you’re trying to go as cheap as you can, then it might be ok for you.

Musty, mold all over the room, cockroaches

Nothing

I would like to leave an extremely poor review for this hostel. Unless you’re someone who enjoys sleeping among mosquitoes, showering with cockroaches, and living in a room filled with smoke from meat being grilled next door (and who knows what else), I would strongly advise steering well clear of this place. We had no choice but to stay here as it was the only option available last minute during the holiday season. We stayed as a family (2 adults and 2 children), and we were absolutely eaten alive by mosquitoes—we’ll be itching for days. The children were terrified to use the bathroom as it was infested with enormous cockroaches. And that’s not even the half of it—I simply can’t bring myself to go into further detail. P.S. I almost forgot to mention the water dripping from the ceiling. Whatever you do, don’t stay here!

The front staff were really lovely, helpful.

I was a little concerned from the hygiene perspective and usually I wouldn’t leave a bad review BUT the bathroom was disgusting, the shower was the cord that is used to clean your bum, and I lifted the sheets to find bugs. Not sure if bed bugs or what but I couldn’t risk it so I left immediately. Windows didn’t lock, advertised aircon and it had a fan.

Possibly value for money. Staff organizes small parties.

Environment so-so.. Some mosquitos. Limited food possibilities (but at least something).

This is a basic hostel. The double room was reasonably comfortable. Location is about 10 minute walk to town.

The hostel is a bit rundown and in need of some maintenance.
