- Jinghan (9/5): -
- maria (9/5): i had a great time meeting people from all over and the hosts took good care of us. - very easy, the hostel had a person always on call able to take care of the keys, showing around and return deposit. all was fluid. i was s how my bed, they are nice and sturdy, unlike other hostels where if you get on the bed on top the whole structure shakes, and the sizes were also good. the lockers are spacious and there is a very nice inside court with pool up some stairs that you can enjoy the warmer times of day and relax in the evening.
- Theo (8/5): - 完美的住宿经历,尤其是非常cool的管理者
- Matteo (8/5): -
- Lily (10/5): -
- Camille (5/5): - Hostel avec énormément de consommation (weed)
- Elise (3/5): Obligé d'écourté on ne se sentait vraiment pas à l'aise - Rien
Je ne comprends pas comment il a pu être si bien noté Les dortoirs sont sans fenêtres et sans climatisation (enfin si mais jamais allumée)
Sous les lits on retrouve une tonne de détrituts amassés ici, l'odeur des dortoirs est terrible car jamais ventilé
La piscine est sale, les transats cassés et les parasols vous tombent dessus.
Les salles de bains sont sales, les toilettes jamais nettoyées
Les espaces communs sont occupés par des gens qui se droguent toute la soirée
L'emplacement est hyper loin, la "navette" qu'ils proposent ne fonctionne qu'a 10h et à 17h que dans un sens (hotel-centre ville)
- Lucy (7/5): Wouldn’t stay again - Friendly staff, good little gym area. Fab in the bed which helped Not a good location, bed is rock hard. The room smells a bit, food isn’t good. £5 a night is a bit steep. Too many beds per room. Bathrooms are not good
- PATTANAIK (10/5): -
- Nil (7/5): - Muy barato Demasiada gente en un mismo espacio
- Mika (8/5): Valid Hostel when you are searching a good spot for backpackers - The staff was really nice and helpful. The bed arrangement was smart. They had like free filtered water. The area was calm. Beds were nice The pool was dirty so we couldn't swim. The bathroom was kind of dirty as well. You've to walk a while to the centre but we knew this before.
- wen (10/5): Awesome - Everything good! The best in LPB!!
- Qing Long (8/5): -
- Karina (1/5): Not even one night. - The guy at the desk was friendly, clearly connected to the space. The smell! They dont run the aircon so it was hot.
The general vibe in the common area represented certain habits i dont want to be associated with. Including guest so drugged out they couldnt stand, walk, keep their clothing on or go to the bathroom in the appropriate places.
I did not even spend my first night there after arriving to this. Had to leave and spend more to get a second accommodation for those nights so I did not experience the daytime vibe.
I know it's a budget stay, but I've experienced much much better at that same rate.
- Denis (8/5): - Letti duri
Pozione scomoda
- Ryan (10/5): Great hostel in LP - Great knowledgeable staff, comfy beds and a very chill atmosphere.
- Lea (8/5): Très bien - Personnel très agréable, salle extérieur très agréable également, et bon rapport qualité prix
- mia (4/5): - Fin plassering. Fin og kul plass å henge på baksiden med en liten kafe som serverte blant anna kaffi og frokost. Hyggelig resepsjonist, tok vare på oss og sjekket at vi hadde det bra. Senger harde som stein, lite og dårlig lys på rommet. Skittent på badet og overfyllt med søppel.
- Évelyne (3/5): Fuyez cet hébergement! À moins que les endroits crade ne vous dérangent pas - Rien L’organisation défaillante: pas de ménage, aucune isolation entre les dortoirs, on voit même à travers les murs, l’air climatisé ne fonctionne pas en raison que les breaker sautent, les parasols sont brisés. La bouffe est ordinaire et le pain du sous-marin était infesté de fourmis!
- Chad (1/5): Not comfortable, very dated hostel; smells and is dirty. - Friendly staff This place is a bit of a scam. If you give a 5 star review you get a free drink at the cafe. It’s extremely dirty everywhere- rooms, toilets and grounds are mismanaged and dirty. 20+ people to one room, our room did not have a window. A/C is controlled by the staff as well as the overhead lights. A/c is only turned on for about 30 minutes each night. Lights were left on until 1am on 2 nights during our stay.
Beds are hard as a rock and smell bad.
- Qazi Asim (6/5): -
- Wing (6/5): Nice social area, very freindly staff, but some negatives that could be improved - Nice social area, friendly staff Bathrooms unclean, no soap, beds hard, pool dirty
- Rommiell (10/5): -
- Julian (9/5): - Wspaniała strefa współdzielona
- Melodie (8/5): - Navette pour aller dans le centre
Le service Grand dortoir, pas beaucoup de place et très sombre
- Thomas (1/5): Nous avons écourté notre séjour. - Les lieux communs sont sympas, il y a quelques jeux. Il faut avoir du cardio… et être prêt à fermer les yeux sur beaucoup de choses.
Pour commencer, nous sommes 16 par chambre. Trois chambres sont côte à côte, simplement séparées par de fines cloisons partielles : au final, vous partagez l’espace avec environ 48 personnes. Le lit est extrêmement dur et la chambre ressemble à un long couloir sans aucune fenêtre, ce qui rend l’atmosphère encore plus étouffante.
L’odeur est tout simplement insupportable, aussi bien dans la chambre que dans l’établissement en général : un mélange d’alcool et de renfermé. Pour masquer cela, ils allument des bougies parfumées placées au pied de blocs d’isolation phonique… fortement inflammables. Une solution aussi inefficace que dangereuse.
Il n’y a aucune sécurité : les chambres comme l’hébergement sont grands ouverts. Des petits casiers sont disponibles pour les affaires personnelles, contre une caution de 100 000 kips. Lorsque nous devions partir à 6h50 un matin, le gérant nous a demandé de rendre les clés la veille et de dormir avec toutes nos affaires, car la réception n’ouvre pas aussi tôt.
À notre arrivée, ce même gérant a d’ailleurs tenté de nous faire payer deux fois le prix initialement prévu. Il a essayé la même chose avec deux autres clients sous nos yeux.
Enfin, l’hygiène laisse clairement à désirer. Les salles de bains sont nettoyées une seule fois le matin, et encore. Il y a de la saleté incrustée partout, des résidus dans les éviers, et une impression générale de manque d’entretien. La piscine, quant à elle, est trouble et stagnante, au point d’être inutilisable.
Dernier point important : les nombreux avis positifs semblent largement influencés par le fait que l’établissement offre des verres aux clients qui laissent un bon commentaire. Cela explique probablement le décalage entre la réalité et la note affichée.

- Uniclau (7/5): Bon hostel confortable - Literie confortable, salle de bain propre, espaces extérieurs agréables Loin du centre ville, restriction sur la quantité d'eau potable à disposition, personnel pas particulièrement agréable
- Camille (10/5): -
- Anne (7/5): Prijs kwaliteit is heel goed! - De bedden waren goed privé, en het lag op een fijne plek! De douches waren soms een beetje vies
- 경락 (8/5): - 가격대비 시설은 좋았습니다 장기간 있을때 이불은 한번씹 갈아 주었으면 좋앟습니다
- Mh_beanie (8/5): - Le rapport qualité prix est top . Le lit est confortable et les sanitaires sont régulièrement nettoyés Assez excentré- l'hôtel propose une navette gratuite mais à chaque fois que j'ai demandé il n'est pas possible de l'utiliser
- Manon (10/5): -
- Shion (6/5): - 安い。部屋は清潔感があり、鍵付きのロッカーがあった。 滞在中に火事があり、とても怖かった。また施設の説明がなく、どこに何があるかは自分で探さなければならず、滞在の仕方が分からなかった。
- Tien (6/5): - Vị trí ngay trung tâm, đi đâu cũng gần. Giá rẻ. Phòng ngủ & nhà vệ sinh rất dơ. Trong phòng rất nhiều cát, mặc dù có bảng thông báo không mang giày vào phòng nhưng hầu như ai cũng mang giày vào phòng vì dưới sàn rất bẩn.
Nhà vệ sinh cũng vậy chỉ có 4 phòng tắm & toilet chung. Mà hư hết 1 phòng, 1 phòng khác thì nước cực kỳ yếu. Giấy vệ sinh hết không ai thay. Máy sấy 4 cái hư hết 2 cái. Mọi thứ hình như không có ai dọn dẹp. Mặc dù tổng 3 phòng ngủ lớn có sức chứa 30 người. Nhưng mọi thứ được cung cấp thì hạn chế.
Phòng tối, ban đêm hầu như không thể thấy đường đi, phải dùng ánh sáng của điện thoại để đi nhà vệ sinh.

- ZHENG (10/5): -
- Léa (7/5): - - Rapport qualité / prix imbattable
- Espace extérieur avec tables, chaises pour se détendre - Bémol pour les sanitaires qui n’ont jamais été très propres en 3j
- Literie peu confortable mais pour le prix rien à dire
- Même si une piscine est indiquée, en réalité elle n’a pas accessible pendant mon séjour

- Beatrice (7/5): Comodo - Il prezzo è assolutamente conveniente, i bagni molto grandi, funzionanti, puliti ,lo staff sempre disponibile Molti rumori di porte che sbattono, menefreghismo assoluto di alcuni ospiti riguardo gli altri.
Lo staff invece gentilissimo.
- N'ta (10/5): -
- Lea (8/5): Agréable - Intimité même si c'est un dortoir, et la terrasse Souvent personne à l'accueil ce qui est problématique pour faire le Check in et le check out quand ils doivent nous redonner la caution. 15 min à pied du centre ville

- Josh (10/5): -
- Michiels (8/5): -
- David (9/5): - El recinto de fuera para poder estar leyendo, tomando algo o hablando si quieres.
Muy bien las camas con su luz y ventilador Más que no gustar un poco de no saber quién es parte del equipo y quien no.
- Clarisse (7/5): -
- Dubail (10/5): - Endroit très convivial, on se sent comme à la maison 😁
- Karla (10/5): Exceptional -
- João (7/5): Good -
- Laurence (4/5): Don’t stay there - It has a pool. The beds are the hardest I’ve ever seen.
- Lea (8/5): Nice Hostel but really big rooms - Shuttle service, pool was nice and den Lockers were big, beds are comfortable
They were still in the process of finishing the property. The "rooms" are only divided by a thin wooden wall. And not completely through the whole room.
From the shower only the middle one was okay, shower and toilets in the same cabin. Cheap quality considering it's new
- Cheuk (6/5): Good - Good staff Bugs in bed
- Paulina (9/5): Superb -
- Mark (7/5): Good -
- Lucca (9/5): Cosy and cheap - Dorm beds has curtains, own fan, possibility to hang your own mosquito net, the staff was very friendly, free soap in the showers. Good place to unwind and get some silent alone time. The door to the dorm room was very loud, which was an issue when having one of the beds closest to the door. Not all the showers' heaters worked when we were there. Not much space for sitting to eat your own food (apart from 1 table outside) since eating and drinking is not allowed in the dorms.
- Long (10/5): Exceptional - Clean bathroom and toilet, big and comfy bed, quiet staff on cleaning time A bit far from the town
