Guest Reviews
- Honeyclotte (8/5): - Our stay is quite good, close to public buses specially buses to and from the airport. Comfortable and good value of money.
- Julia Mironova (8/5): Место супер! - Хостел находится недалеко от пляжа, в центральном районе пляжа Дадунхай, но при этом спрятан во дворах от шумных дорог. В хостеле все чистенько, аккуратно и удобно. Есть, где постирать одежду, покушать, на каждом этаже кулер с водой и холодильник. Можно взять в аренду полотенце. Соотношение цена-качество идеально. Есть маленькие недоработки, но я думаю, что это временно) К сожалению, только 1 сотрудник разговаривает на английском(хорошо, что хотя бы она есть). Хотела заказать трансфер до аэропорта, но они не предоставляют такую услугу, хотя в перечне услуг она есть.
И для развития, Я бы рекомендовала поставить на входе пару холодильников с напитками и готовой едой. У вас возможно купить пиццу и кофе, но иногда хочется чего то другого. Я бы точно каждое утро, вместо того, чтобы идти в магазин брала бы еду у вас)
- Svetlana (10/5): - Отличный хостел , бронируйте сразу , очень мало свободных мест !! Чистое постельное , удобный матрас , капсульные кровати, тихое место рядом с побережьем
- Svetlana (9/5): - Понравилось расположение хостела, дружелюбный приветливый персонал, чистота и аккуратность внутри, доступная цена.
- Camila (10/5): Muito boa. - Localização e cama. Flexibilidade. Dificuldade de comunicação.
- Guy (8/5): -
- Natalia Kuklina (10/5): - Great hostel in the center of Dadonghay! Many places for your clothes, big and comfortable bed, good working AC, wash machine on each floor. Recommend for everyone!
- Alexey (10/5): Для путешествий в одиночку хороший эконом вариант. - Хостел не на шумной улице. Внутри двора. Есть кулер и столики, где можно посидеть. Вокруг много кафе и магазинов. Пляж и набережная близко.
- Synelcar (10/5): -
- Marie Violetta (10/5): - L'emplacement est bien. C'était propre. Confortable. J'avais un problème d'internet et qui a engendrer un problème de retrait d'argent. Ils m'ont permis d'accéder au check in le temps de régler le problème. Je vous remercie beaucoup pour sa. Je recommande à 100% J'ai tout aimer

- ernő (9/5): - Room was good, liked the terrace The toalett was busy sometimes, hard to find it as there is written something else on the building
- LU (8/5): 性价比一般,没有青旅氛围 - 位置不错,环境干净,隐私性也可以。 没有青旅的氛围,没有公共活动区间,外面是一个餐厅。没有组织任何活动,想要交朋友爱热闹的不联系来。想一人人静一静的可以来。但价格不低,加点钱完全可以附近找个民宿,更安静。
- SANJA (10/5): The best place in Dadoghai beach - Perfect location. Near so many supermarkets and restaurants. Beach is 5 min walk.
- Yves (10/5): - A 8 euros la nuit en dortoir de 6, très bon rapport qualité prix
Ce n'est pas le moins cher mais justifie par les équipements confortables et le calme du lieu RAS
- Hung Kam (10/5): Solo World Explorer - The staff are friendly and helpful. There are plenty of restaurants and stores around the area. The beach is within a 10-15 minute walk.
- Mateus (1/5): - Fiz a reserva pelo booking onde me foi cobrado o valor da estadia . Chegando lá o estabelecimento me cobrou novamente o mesmo valor, alegando que seria reembolsado após 2 semanas . Nunca fui reembolsado, ou seja, fui cobrado 2x pela mesma estadia !
- Hung Kam (10/5): Solo World Explorer - The staff are friendly and helpful. There are coffee and snack bars in this facility; and plenty of restaurants and stores around the area.
- Lea (10/5): Nice hostel in Sanya - I was in a 4 beds female dorm and it was spacious, the beds were very comfortable, the aircon was reasonable not too cold, the room, thr toilets and showers were kept clean, there was a self-laundry, which I appreciated much. Good showers. The staff was nice and friendly. We mainly communicated via translation app, as I do not speak Chinese. The café and the pizza place integrated in the hostel premisis, were amazing. I liked my stay there. You can also find some peace in the hostel and the cafés. I wished there would have been a bit more pro-active information. I only saw there was a stand-up paddle event on the day I left. I understand that the language situation was the reason, but maybe it would be a good idea to make an information sheet for English speaking people. Also the description beachside is not correct, in the end I was glad, but I expected something else.
- Peter (10/5): Location - Location. Friendly staff
- Peter (10/5): #1 hostel - The best hostel i have been to.
Free mug of beer at check in.
Free surf lesson.
Clean.
Friendly staff.
Big high cleaning dorms.
Great hot water shower
Chill common area.
100 meters from the beach.
Laundry facilities.
Budget price. Food and coffee prices overpriced for the area.
Difficulty with the language barrier.
- Daniyar (9/5): Впечатления выше ожидаемого, очень рад. - Первый раз путешествовал так далеко. И особенно "дикарем". Но был очень удивлен, как легко прошел мой отпуск. Очень понравилось расположение отеля (недалеко от пляжа и всех классных ресторанчиков в этой бухте) и количество предоставляемых услуг за такую невысокую цену. Однозначно рекомендую, если вы летите без туроператора. Персонал хороший, если подойти и что-либо спросить, всегда помогут и подскажут. К сожалению, нужно подходить и просить персонал, чтобы сменили постельное белье. По какой-то причине они забыли про меня.
- tanguy (9/5): -
- mrYY (9/5): - 位置好,价格好,浴室好用,很多挂衣服的地方。 窗户隔音不好,窗外说话声音很清楚,凌晨6点居然一群人唱歌?
- Joél (8/5): - Gutes Günstiges Hostel
- Denis (10/5): - Всё понравилось
- Sandro (9/5): -
- Jorge Hevia (10/5): - Very convenient and close to the beach, very helpful and friendly staff !!!
- Maria (9/5): There is a beautiful garden downstairs with lots of fans, very aesthetic. - Great value for money! Location is just perfect, you can get anywhere from here by taking a bus. It’s also very close to dadonghai beach. The room is just very basic, but clean. No bugs or cockroaches. Staff are very friendly. You can have pizza downstairs or order food online. Washing machines and dryer are on the 2nd floor (8rmb), also you can leave your clothes to dry in a shared area. Maybe upgrade the security system. We stayed in a double room, and there was no lock in the room.
Room is very small.
- Akbota (9/5): -
- Matthew (10/5): Exceptional -
- Océane (8/5): Very good -
- Rhiannon (9/5): Superb - Comfortable beds, great showers and friendly staff (I didn't meet any that spoke English but they were happy to communicate through Google translate) Difficult to find as it's hidden away behind the main street with no signage. It would be super helpful to have a signpost on the main road or at least mention when booked how to find it.
- Eulalie (7/5): Good stay - The location is the best, the people were helpful and easy going. Ive had the best stay there and great memories. However the dorm was kinda dirty, my bed wasnt ready when I came, during my stay they made a mistake about my reservation and thought I would be leaving earlier. So it was not perfect but it’s still a good place with a groupchat organized so that people can hang out together so I would still recommend it !
- Marta (9/5): Superb - It’s really good that they have the coffe place downstairs! Well located and comfortable beds
- Dorde (9/5): Superb - Very hard bed, not comfortable, other than that all was good.
- David (9/5): Very good hostel - It's basically the only affordable accommodation option Sanya, it's very clean, it's quiet, and the dorm beds are sturdy and with a curtain. Also, when you check in you get a free beer if you ask. I wish the staff were more helpful in terms of planning. China is difficult for foreigners. Telling people about apps like atrip, didi, and the train app is good, but it would be even better to help them use these apps and plan excursions.
- Laurentius (6/5): Left after one night - The bar/restaurant look amazing. Bathroom was clean for Chinese hostel standard. Dorm is too small, hot, humid, no space for luggage. I couldn’t sleep from the noise in the room and people being up. Couldn’t find the location correctly on booking.com. Staff could speak better English and be more helpful.
- Nicklas (10/5): Exceptional - Great location, very friendly and helpful staff.
Some people reviewed not all staff speak English, it's not a problem since you just write what you want to them in wechat and the app translates it, super easy.
Here's a good variation of different rooms, something for everyone!
Rooms and facilities are cleaned on a daily basis.
The guests are a good mix of westeners and chinese people.
In the same location there's a cafe for fresh smoothies, snacks and also a pizzeria, very cozy and also here super friendly staff.
I highly recommend =)
- Daniela (8/5): Great location, price and hostel (would recommend a Single room over a dorm) - I stayed in a female room of four for 10 nights in February. The bed was very comfy and clean. Additionally you are able to get free sheets each 3 days if needed. Other than that slippers, Shampoo and Shower gel are for free as well. (Toothbrush, toothpaste and towels you would have to buy.)
The hostel offers surfing or paddle opportunities if interested. As a guest the first time will be for free.
Regarding the patio which is strongly to recommend staying, they offer coffee, drinks and food for guest and walk-in customers. Furthermore they are stocked with a lot of games, such as card games, poker, games for kids, tennis Equipment...
Therefore it's quite easy to get in touch with others.
I also appreciated that the staff constantly reminded everyone about rules, which made the stay very pleasant. Most of the staff are also very kind and have an optimistic workattitute.
Furthermore, the hostel is very close to the beach (about 5 minutes), perfect for daily run sessions. It also is surounded by restaurants, supermarkts and a mall. Firstly I wanna mention that I think the Level of cleanliness definitely has to improve. Although the room itself were clean, the share sanatory fascilities were kinda dirty. Empty shampoo bottles of guests were laying around, toilet paper ran out and didn't got refilled, stains on the floor (also blood stains) stayed at the floor the whole time I was there...
Secondly, the description of having towels free of charge is missleading, it seems that this might just got offered to guests in single rooms.
- Baterdene (7/5): Good -
- Mirko (7/5): If the airflow solution is found, I will be glad to be back! - Friendly staff always available to provide helping hand and support, the free of charge activities they provide! There’s a lack of fresh air getting in the room, we had an window with mosquito net to protect us however on the other side the door was tightly closed so the airflow was blocked and I had to smell the farting from the guy occupied the bed below mine!
- Aleksandr (10/5): Recommend. I would love to come back one day! - I had a great time staying here for almost a week! There was always something happening around, which made the stay really exciting. Everyone was very friendly and happy to talk, help me find things, or explain how things work in China. Enjoyable experience! Some nights, a group of drunk Chinese students were a bit aggressive.
Also, not all the staff or visitors spoke decent English or Russian
- Clementine (9/5): Superb - Very good location, 5 minutes from the beach and many restaurants, bars, supermarkes. Friendly staff, very helpful. Nice café/ bar.
Note: to find the hostel, go to "cozy café". That's there. Bathroom/ toilets not always clean.

- Esmée (6/5): Pleasant - Offered my surfing lessons and good location. Also nice bar and pizza place at property Not very clean bathroom area, mold and leakage in the rooms, smelly shoe place and staff was drunk when I wanted to check in. Also make sure you can pay Alipay, WeChat or cash upon arrival, cause that’s how they want you to pay. After one night went to a hotel to continue my stay.
- Nichanan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Wei (8/5): Very good -
- Michael (10/5): Exceptional -
- Anonymous (5/5): Passable - Lovely hostel. I stayed in a women's dorm. The rooms were well air conditioned, clean and though small, they were comfy.
The other ladies in the room were quiet and respectful.
It was only a short walk to the beach, which was awesome. The Staff seemed very confused about how to use Booking.com and change a reservation.
- Abad (8/5): Very good -
