• John (10/5): -
• Romain (10/5): -
• Esther (10/5): Endroit très agréable, au calme, propre et proche de tout ! - L’emplacement, le calme, La gentillesse de l’hôte La Clim de la chambre était un peu fatiguée mais c’était vraiment OK.
• Philip (10/5): Great Place to stay. Will stay again when I come back to Malecca. - The host is perfect with professionalism in the service.
• Thilini (10/5): -
• Marion (9/5): - Very quiet place, bed was nice, although a bit more soft in the middle, bathroom clean, very central, they offered water, shower gel/shampoo and Towel for free. Being possible to smoke in the social area, even more or less an open courtyard for me the smell was too intense.
• Barrett (10/5): -
• HIROKO (10/5): - 中心地からとても近く主要なところ全て歩いていけます。 ホテルは綺麗で、設備もちゃんとしてました。 オーナーはとても優しいくて、真夜中の到着となってしまいましたが、嫌な顔せず対応してくれました。また泊まりたいホテルです。

• Chloé (10/5): Parfait. - Super hostel, le personnels au top. En plein centre de Melaka. Parfait. Rien à dire c’était un super séjour.
• Derian (10/5): -
• yongdong (9/5): - 毛巾每日一换，厕所总是干净的。老板热情周到，我先住了三天，续住三天时主动给我更换了卧具。 房间稍窄，对我来说够用了。
• Maud (10/5): Cosy et confortable - Hostel très cosy, joliement décoré, confortable. Hôte accueillant et souriant. Parfait séjour pour moi
• 盈憲 (10/5): - 地點真的好，離周遭景點都只需步行幾分鐘內都會抵達！老闆人很溫柔！
• Leo (8/5): Richtig gut, nur wenn Leute bis 3 Uhr Nachts extrem Laut sind, fällt das Schlafen schwer. - Ambiente Keine Nachtruhe, Türen nicht isoliert
• David (9/5): Fantastic location - great value for money. - The property is very close to all the tourist sights and easily within walking distance. Couldn't ask for a better location. Sam who runs the property was really helpful and welcoming and as a local guy himself is a good source of local knowlege. N/A
• Augustin (10/5): - Great stay at Ola Hostel! Super clean, well located in the heart of Malacca, and a good set up to meet people. Everything was perfect
• Anthony (10/5): -
• Tolop (10/5): -
• Lewis (10/5): - Super clean, host is a really nice fella, brought fresh towels to us in the morning and made sure we knew everything we needed to on arrival. Unfortunately had to leave early due to circumstance but would definitely stay again and recommend this place to anyone! Nothing.
• Jazz (8/5): It was a good experience! Will definitely be back to this hostel in my future visit to Malaka. Hola! - I like the location and the friendly owner and co-travellers I met in this hostel. It's inside the heritage city of Malaka. It's definitely one of the good hostel in Malaka and highly recommended. Nothing much. Perhaps, add a round table in the common area to promote more communication and friendly ambience amongst traveller. But overall, was a good place to stay in.
• Monika (9/5): -
• Camilla (8/5): -
• Afi (10/5): -
• Linda (10/5): Excellent location, excellent accommodation, excellent host, excellent guests! - From the moment of arrival Sam, the congenial owner, makes everyone feel relaxed and welcome! The room is nicely and thoughtfully arranged. The addition of 1 beverage a day being offered at a discount in the cafe for room guests is a nice perk and Sam makes delicious beverages. There is a pleasant communal area where guests converge for conversation, reading, sharing drinks and planning activities. I attribute the wonderful vibe to Sam, the owner - he lays the groundwork for bringing out the best in us guests at Ola - thanks Sam!
• Michail (9/5): Great area, peaceful and tasteful vibe, budget-friendly - Great large room (private room), very clean, with a very large and comfortable bed, good air-conditioning and fan, overlooking the beautiful front street and it's very quite at night. The host is very kind and helpful. The common seating area and the whole premises is tasteful and peaceful. The toilets/showers and washbasins are good sized and cleaned regularly. The common seating area is an open air space which means it gets very hot and humid. My bedroom was great but the window frames, when closed, leave a relatively big gap around them, which allows heat and mosquitoes to come through and there is very visible dampness on the walls around them.

• Thomas (9/5): Klare Empfehlung - Sehr gute Lage in Chinatown und somit unweit der Straße für Streetfood und Cafés. Der Vermieter war sehr nett und gab Empfehlungen. Das Zimmer war komfortabel und sehr sauber. Anfangs waren nur 2 Duschen, was mir sehr wenig vorkam. Einen Tag später hat der Vermieter die Duschen repariert. 👍
• Thomas (10/5): -
• eva (10/5): - Amazing little place, few rooms, I had a lovely welcome and the room upstairs that I had was great and nice equipped. Lovely decor of the hostel. I will come again! I loved my stay, only thing to mention, the upper rooms have the bathroom/shower area downstairs..
• Michael (10/5): - Everything was perfect, the staff was really friendly, the location was the best one and bathrooms and bedrooms were so clean. Nothing
• Christian (8/5): Lage sehr gut - Tolle Lage im Zentrum. Sehr ruhig gelegen. Frühstück wird „angeboten“, aber Gastgeber hat nicht wirklich Interesse daran.
• yuichiro (8/5): -
• Marc (10/5): -
• Hanoé (10/5): - The hostel is near the street market with a chill atmosphere. They clean everyday and the owner is very accommodating. Very cosy and nice place! Dormitory is a little bit small.
• Lara Adriana (10/5): - Sehr sehr sauber. Schöner kleiner Innenhof mit Wasserkocher. Perfekte Lage. Vorhandener Kühlschrank darf nur für Getränke genutzt werden. Essen von außerhalb wird nicht gerne gesehen. Das sind wir aus anderen Hostels anders gewöhnt und hätten es uns anders gewünscht, da wir nicht gezwungen sein wollen, als junge Reisende, alle Mahlzeiten in Restaurants zu uns nehmen zu müssen.
• Agata (10/5): Highly recommended! - Very friendly staff, great location, comfortable place with nice areas to socialise with others
• YUICHIRO (9/5): - Very clean ! Good location! Friendly staff.
• Noraishahtun (9/5): -
• Matt☀️ (8/5): - The energy of the place is very positive. The location is just perfect. The bed is comfortable. The shower and bathroom are spacious and clean. They have bicycles for rent . The owner is a unique super cool character with his own timing and style. Sometimes requires to be a bit patient’) The only downside for me was that the patio that is cute but small semi open is a smoking area as well . Sometimes the smoke can go through under the door and get in ur room . Plus if u aren't a smoker as soon as someone starts smoking it ruins the mini space for you .
• Emily (8/5): Lovely hostel, but smoking shouldn't be allowed - Nice modern hostel, the bathrooms were always super clean. However, the courtyard area (the only communal area) allowed smoking, this was difficult and meant we couldn't use any of the communal parts of the hostel. Not the place to stay if you have asthma. Smoking.
• ann (10/5): -
• YUEJIA (10/5): 超级满意！ - 1.位置狠好，如果从新加坡大巴来的可以在casa del rio melaca下车，走到ola大概五六分钟～到鸡场街两三分钟，所有景点都是步行可达！ 2.跟周边青旅比价格性价比很高！我住的5人间布置特别用心，有两瓶水、沐浴液洗发水、还有浴巾，隐私也很好～床垫舒服，有两个枕头～ 3.小而精致，有点复古工业风，老板温柔细致！ 无！虽然我觉得马六甲不太有趣……
• ZHIQIANG (9/5): -
• Dilara (9/5): Würde wieder hin - Perfekte Lage Nette Mitarbeiter/Besitzer Handtuchwechsel sogar bei kurzem Aufenthalt Zwei Flaschen Wasser + Shampoo/Spülung Zu wenig Besteck/Geschirr Reinigungskraft könnte vielleicht ohne Video/Gruppencall und lautes Reden im Zimmer sein. Ich war sehr kaputt aber an Mittagsschlaf war so nicht zu denken.
• Julia (9/5): - Central location - parallel street of jonker street, friendly and helpful host, small courtyard inside to relax and connect with the other travellers, new towels every day, clean dorms and common area (smoking allowed in the courtyard), small lockers in the room for private belongings (padlock needed) Melaka is very busy on the weekend with the night market, more calm during the week.
• Azim (10/5): Sehr empfehlenswert. Sauber, Schick und sehr freundliches Empfang. - alles, Sauberkeit, sehr gepflegt und professionell
• Louis (10/5): - Very good layout, perfect location. Clean and chill vibe! A lot of mosquitoes, so make sure to have a spray
• YU (10/5): 房子有特色。有自行车租用 - 干净卫生
• Lucie (9/5): - Very convenient location. Great value for money. The owner came to do registration and to take payment when I'd just come upstairs from the common shower, said we could do it in my room. I said no, thanks, and said I'd follow him downstairs in a minute. Might have been a misunderstanding but felt a bit strange.
• Susanne (10/5): - Sam, the owner, is the heart and soul of this Hostel. Thanks for a pleasant stay! A bit tiny bedrooms (especially when people Travel with big backpacks).
• JUN YU (8/5): -
• Paola (10/5): Perfect stay for the weekend in Melaka - This hostel is pure vibes! From the moment you walk in, you can feel the laid-back, funky atmosphere. The location couldn’t be better – right in the heart of everything, so you can explore the city easily on foot or hire a bike. Despite being so central, the hostel still feels like a little oasis where you can relax and unwind after a day of adventures. The common areas are social without being overwhelming, and the staff are super friendly, always happy to share local tips. The rooms are clean, comfortable with air con and a fan. If you’re looking for a place that’s fun, well-located, and full of good energy, this is the hostel to book. Highly recommend! Nothing to like
• Michael (10/5): -
• Anna (10/5): - Ola was perfect - it's a fabulous location, the room was perfect, and the key card system to get in and out made it very easy. Go through the cafe to check in.
• Abhishek (10/5): - Owner is so welcoming and helpful. Rent a cycle you won't regret it
• Abdullah (9/5): - Private odaların tek kişilik ve çift kişilik opsiyonları vardı. Ben sadece çift kişilik bulabildim. Tek kişilik zemin kattaki odalar ile ilgili fikrim yok. Ama tek kişilik odalar da, hostelde kaldığım süre boyunca hep doluydular. Yine kart sistemiyle odaya girip çıkabiliyorsunuz. Burası bir hostel, bunun farkında olarak gelin. 3-4 yıldızlı otel konforu beklemeyin. Oda genel olarak temizdi. Konumu zaten efsane. Ev sahibi iyi. Odada klima ile vantilatör bulunuyordu.
• Abdullah (10/5): Mükemmel konum, yardım sever ev sahibi - 10 puanı sadece işletmenin sahibi beyefendi için bile verebilirdim. Kibar, anlayışlı, güler yüzlü ve gezginlerin dostu. Hostelin konumu mükemmel. Uzun bir aradan sonra ilk defa bir dorm'da kaldım. Bence fena değildi. Dorm serindi, klima vardı. Odaya kart ile girebiliyorsun. Yani orada kalmayan biri giremezdi. 2 adet su, şampuan ve havlu hazır olarak beni bekliyordu. Büyük çantalarınızı ranzaların altına atmanız gerekiyor. 5 kişilik odada 3 kişiydik. Ve her şey çok güzeldi. Oda full olunca nasıl olur, fikrim yok. Malezya havaalanında telefonumu şarj etmeye çalışınca farkettim, malezyada prizler farklıymış. Bu hostel sayesinde bunun farkında bile değildim. Çünkü bunu çok önceden düşünmüşler. Ve prizleri avrupa fişleri için uygun hale getirmişler. Sadece bu durumdan bile, hostel sahibinin ne kadar gezgin dostu olduğunu görebilirsiniz.
• Caitlin (10/5): - Great location and a lovely owner. Bed was comfortable and facilities were very clean. The rooms were kept cool with fans and AC. Dorms were a bit squishy, but that didn’t detract from how nice the hostel was!
• Antonio (10/5): -
• Lewis (10/5): -
• Huantong (8/5): -
• Adam_Han_80 (10/5): A great place to stay in Malacca - Helpful staff, tips on where to eat and visit, great location, clean room and other facilities; nice common area in the back yard to relax.
• JOHSI (10/5): - It’s my second time to stay here. Clean, good location, nice host. Everything is well. None.
• Sandra (9/5): - Comfortable bed with light, power socket and curtain. Clean and very quiet. Toiletries and daily a new towel were provided. Friendly host, and other guests. And very central! Nice common area. Dorm had no window - so it was always dark - better to sleep ;) Nothing
• Tiong (8/5): Comfortable and convenient. - Clean, comfortable and strategic location. So far so good.
• fahrol (10/5): -
• Marcel (9/5): - Sehr netter Host. Der Gemeinschaftsraum ist richtig gemütlich und man hält sich gerne dort auf um z.B. sich mit anderen Reisenden auszutauschen. Lage könnte nicht besser sein, man ist mitten im Geschehen. Bei Checkin bekommt man 2 Flaschen Wasser + Duschzeug :) Die Zimmer selbst sind sehr klein. Die Betten sind nur über einen sehr schmalen gang zu erreichen. Zimmer sind eher Betoncontainer style.
• KOHEI (8/5): - スタッフが親切。 トイレとシャワーが一緒になっているが数が少ない
• Kuncoro (10/5): I love OLA HOSTE MELAKA - I like the vibes when entering the property. Its so neat and tidy. I stayed in dormitory for two nights. I think shoes-rack if available will be good. Need improvement is praying room. A small one is enough 1x1.5 m heading to THE WEST. Equipped with prayer matt will be great.
• Carmen (10/5): Would recommend, would come back for sure. - Super clean, staff were so friendly and soft spoken, everything was amazing. Nothing at all.

• Jean-Pierre (9/5): Très bel hostel pour quelques jours à Malacca - Le confort, l’emplacement, l’espace commun, plein de café, de restos à découvrir aux alentours de l’hostel (hors Jonker street) rien de particulier
• hongtao (10/5): 马六甲中国人旅行首选 - 老板友好，是当地华人，可以中文聊天，很有礼貌，住宿位置非常好，离鸡场街只有几步路，住宿环境还行，4人间比较狭窄，但睡觉还行，浴室比较多不用抢

• Piotr (10/5): - Nice place in the town's center but not too noisy
• José Ignacio (9/5): - Sam muy atento siempre. El hostel está como en una casa típica, con su patio de zona común, muy ambientado y acogedor. La habitacion de cuatro camas pequeña pero cómoda. Proporxionaba toalla gratis. Lavé allí la ropa por un precio muy asequible. No tengo nada negativo que contar
• Ye (10/5): Lovely - Lovely staff, lovely location, comfy bed and lovely décoré. Thank you for a wonderful stay Nothing
