Guest Reviews

- Melanie (9/5): - Großes Zimmer, super Lage, gutes Frühstück und nette und hilfsbereite Besitzer!
- Rafał (10/5): Phenomenal hosts - The hosts are just extraordinarily welcoming, friendly and helpful. I travel a lot but haven't encountered yet such selfless and honest people, putting the wellbeing of guests first to this extent. This was this very rare case where my expectations were actually vastly exceeded. Fantastic breakfasts, each day something new and delicious. It's possible to do your laundry on site, and Philip was ready to provide any help or advice needed without simultaneously imposing anything on us, which was just perfect. The location is also great.
- 思語 (10/5): - 老闆娘和老闆人都超級好,像家人一樣,早餐也是也準備吐司跟貝果,可以自己圖醬,房間也打掃的很乾淨,整體超喜歡,下次去綠島還要再住這家。 如果放假可以放個垃圾桶就更好

- B_Manuela (10/5): - Everything! It's a great place. Great location. Comfy beds with good privacy and super clean. Breakfast included. Very helpful hoast and stuff - helped with ferry and E-bike booking, so everything was sorted when I arrived. Great dive center too. Highly recommend!
- Antoine (10/5): - Great breakfast
- Raquel (10/5): Thank you for the amazing stay! - The bed in the dorm room was super comfortable! I had an upper bunk with a window which was lovely. The room was also always a good temperature. The staff are extremely kind, they arranged activities (diving and stand up paddle board), the ferry and renting a scooter for me. The breakfast is awesome! Different breads and fruits every morning. The place is also very well organized, there were lockers for your valuable, shoe and bathroom closets too and they provided me with a hand and bath towel. Laundry is available for free (soap included) and there is a breezy space to hang dry everything. Nothing!
- Tolly (9/5): Really great place, highly recommended! - The owners are super kind and gentle. Very close to the port and places to rent scooters and electric bikes. Breakfast is simple (toast, bagel, spread, fruit) but a nice inclusion. The common area is great for working. Beds are self contained and have ample space. Bathroom is large and clean. Washing machine is available. Na
- SHU YIN (10/5): - 離碼頭只有200公尺,地點超讚👍!民宿主人親手製作的早餐,健康美味😋,開啟活力滿滿的一天!提供綠島餐廳建議美食,讓住客外食不踩雷。代替報名的活動,每個都好玩有趣!房間乾淨,佈置具美感巧思!
- Claudia (10/5): -
- Julius (10/5): - Very friendly staff, a chill vibe and awesome place to stay
- Vanessa (10/5): - Le couple et ses 2 filles sont incroyablement choux, au petit soin et accueillants. Ils m'ont présenté et demandé les activités que je voulais faire et ce sont eux qui ont tous réservé pour moi. En plus de cela, ils ne m'ont pas seulement indiqué l'adresse mais ils m'y ont amenée aux différents lieux de rendez-vous. Une fois, une des activités était un peu éloignée pour s'y rendre à pied (je n'ai pas de permis scooter), donc une des filles m'y a conduit.
Lorsque j'ai choppé un coup de soleil, ils m'ont donné de l'aloe vera pour soulager.
Bref j'ai passé 3 nuits incroyables dans leur auberge de jeunesse.
Le lit est confortable, il y a un casier à code pour mettre ses affaires et la salle de bain et toilettes sont propres.
Le petit déjeuner est simple et très bon ( du pain, confiture, fruits, œufs, café, thé.
Depuis, l'auberge se situe à seulement 4 minutes à pied depuis le port. Rien, tout était parfait !
- Claire (10/5): Confortable place with pool and great staff - The place is very well located and convenient. We could go by walk from the harbor with the luggage’s before renting electric scooters. The place is very clean and the staff very nice. They helped us for activities, scooters and restaurants during our stay. I really recommend this place.
- 許 (10/5): 很讚!還有貓可以看 - 民宿地點離火車站很近,走路就可抵達。
床鋪整潔,冷氣有涼,還有洗衣機可以使用,洗澡、廁所和臉盆數量充足,都不用排隊,洗澡水壓穩定,熱水充足。
附贈的早餐簡單好吃,不確定是烤箱厲害還是吐司和貝果厲害,簡單烤一下加個醬就很美味😋。
雖然與老闆娘跟老闆交談不多,但可以感覺得到很和善~ 沒有不滿意,只是床鋪周圍的置物空間較小,使用起來比較不習慣和順手~

- Tonyleong1 (9/5): Great Location, Great Accommodation, Great Owners! - Everything, to be honest!
-Philip and his wife were super accommodating and sweet.
-Answered all of my questions and were helpful with arranging tours and rentals.
-Loaded breakfast.
-Double room was super comfy and spacious.
-Free laundry! (air dry)
-Super quick walk to the ferry. Quiet part of town. -Not in the busiest part of the island with the majority of the food places, but there are a few gems nearby. I preferred this quiet, so this is actually a plus!
-Finding it was a small challenge since the sign was slightly different since they're also a diving operator.
- 雅雲 (10/5): -
- 嘉蕙 (10/5): 環境乾淨整潔、舒適的體驗,推薦! - 冷氣涼爽、環境乾淨整潔、公共廁所也很乾淨,打掃的很用心,床柔軟舒適好睡,老闆老闆娘熱情溫暖、早餐好吃,有洗衣機能夠清潔衣服。也能幫忙租借機車、代訂船票,推薦的口袋名單餐廳都不錯。處處覺得用心,給予我在綠島有良好的旅行回憶。
- Francesca (9/5): Super clean, friendly staff, great stay – just avoid the bed by the window in the female dorm if you like it cool at nig - I had a great stay at this hostel! Everything was clean, and the staff was incredibly helpful and friendly – they gave great recommendations and answered all my questions. The only small downside was that in the female dorm, the bed by the window gets very warm at night since the curtain only opens on one side and the wooden frame blocks airflow from the AC. Other than that, everything was perfect. I’d definitely recommend this place – just maybe choose a different bed next time!
- Petr (10/5): Exceptional - One of the best accomodations I've ever stayed in. Me and my friend were treated like family members. Philip and his team hosted us warmly with their hearts. With attentive approach they focus on every detail of your stay and make sure you get everything you need, or more. Location is super convenient, a few minutes walking distance from the harbour and in the middle from all the diving spots. There is even a swimming pool for diving training. Even though we didn't dive, with Philip I would definitely go for a course, as diving is his passion and he is so professional. Rooms are very neat, with fresh smell and perfect ventilating system. We appreciated having our breakfast customised to our needs. It's simply a perfect place to stay in this slice of paradise.
- Doris (10/5): It's a comfortable and pleasant stay. - The breakfast is delicious with health choice of food. We enjoyed it. It's close to the ferry terminal with walking distance even when we walked with our suitcases. There is washing machine provide for us to us.
- Erin (10/5): Conveniently located clean and friendly - The host, Phil, was so nice and smiley! The room was great. Very clean with thoughtfully placed outlets and usb outlets. Location was perfect next to the port and very quiet (but maybe mid-October is low season). We were treated with very lovely breakfasts both mornings we were there. Nada
- Kerri (10/5): Excellent stay - Friendly, helpful staff. Excellent breakfasts. Extremely convenient location. Super clean hostel. Thoroughly recommend.
- Bomi (10/5): Exceptional -
- Mingyu (10/5): The best hostel in green island! - Here is the best choice in green island! Philip and his wife are so kind and staff too. When we stay here, they always care of us and help us. We must stay here when we go to green island again! Thank you again Philip🙏 Nothing
- Mark (10/5): Amazing Diving Hostel - Excellent hostel with honestly the most comfortable beds I have every encountered in an hostel. The hostel is run by a lovely and passionate couple that were extremely hospitable and caring. The environment was clean and new. The location was great. Do arrange motorbikes though, which is honestly necessary to have anyway on Green Island. Nothing
- Zhen (10/5): Exceptional - Near to the harbor,the interior of the Hostel is modern and clean, the host is friendly and helpful, definitely one of the best hotel I ever stayed!
- Michael (10/5): Perfect hostel: great service, scooter rental and snorkeling - Our stay at the hostel was absolutely amazing! They went above and beyond to fulfill all our wishes, even helping us rent a scooter at an incredible price. We had the chance to snorkel directly from the hostel at a fantastic spot. The experience was unforgettable, especially since they provided food to attract the fish, making it even more special. Plus, it was just the two of us with the guide, which made the snorkeling adventure feel truly unique and personal.
- Et (10/5): Exceptional -
- Thomas (9/5): Perfect base for exploring Green Island - The property is very strategically located just a couple meters away from the ferry dock. It is also surrounded by numerous scooter rental facilities as well as a few restaurants. The owner of the hostel was extremely helpful and made us feel at ease. The breakfast which was home cooked was delicious and made for a great start of the day. The room was clean and had a spacious bathroom. The beds provided in the private room are a bit short to accommodate for someone 1m80 or taller as I could not lie down straight without my feet sticking out of the bed. The usb chargers in the room were not working.
- Martinez (10/5): Exceptional - The host makes worth the staying, also the room and the toilet. Everything is cleaned and organized. They are helpful , they arranged my motorbike and told me how or what should I visit in the island. Also booked for me a snorkel experience! Phillip himself is a scuba diver and provides lessons or funndivings! Ask himZ
- Chriswwww (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing couple running the place, very comfortable stay. The location is good, near the most busy street on the island, it's a 5 minute walk.
The male owner is also a diving instructor, we took the underwater experince package, so many beautiful dishes and corals!
Highly recommend.
- Stanley (10/5): owner was courteous, friendliness and helpful. - location, cleanness none
- Stanley (10/5): the owners of ocean explore club also offer diving lessons. they are so friendly, knowledgeable, and hospitable. the scu - location is 5 min walking from the ferry port. Clean and new. none
- Judith (10/5): Exceptional - Overall we had a fabulous and relaxing time.
The owner and the staff were all super friendly and very helpful and made us feel very welcome.
The double room is very accomodating with a nice balcony with view on the ocean, the mountain and the pool. The location is very convenient, short walking distance to the harbour. The hotel owners can help you to rent scooter and book tours, if you wish.
I spontaneously took the diving experience class and it was great. The diving teacher did a great job in showing me the wonderful sport of diving. He was very patient, calm and the instructions were good, step by step with focus on my ability and i always felt safe.
I would definitely come again if I have the chance.
