   If you get a top bunk you have no room whatsoever from your bed to the ceiling so it’s physically impossible to sit up. Felt like sleeping in a coffin. There’s no keycards or locks on the doors so anyone can walk in your room at any time. For a party hostel there was absolutely nothing going on it was like a ghost town, but maybe we came at a bad time a few days after full moon party. Shower was decent though.

   Only good thing about this place was how close it was to the full moon party. The rooms itself were very small so no place for your bags. Also no locks so anyone can just walk in. 1 bathroom snd shower for 8 people which got flooded every time someone showered. The trash can was constantly full and overflown. The atmosphere wasn’t that great and the ‘free shots’ they give is basically just juice. STAY AWAY and if u really want to just join at night for the parties

   The party aspect is good but the pool is dead during the day, everyone just appears at night. Bed is brick hard, the shower barely work, no locks on the door so anyone can just walk in. Left a day early.

   I rarely leave reviews for hostels, but unfortunately, my stay here was disappointing. The rooms are very basic and not particularly comfortable, with poor sound insulation—especially considering it’s a party hostel. There are no locks on the doors, which means that random intoxicated people, even those not staying at the hostel, can enter freely. Also , there aren’t enough toilets to accommodate the number of guests, particularly during parties. It’s evident that the hostel has stopped investing in essential improvements, likely because the island gets packed during Full Moon parties regardless. I was relieved to leave.

   Really didn’t enjoy our stay here. Dead hostel and blaring music all the time even in the morning but no one there. Rooms were gross there was a guy on reception when checking out who was so rude to us just shrugging his shoulders not even looking up at us. They have advertised that if you leave a good review you can get an extra nights stay for free so hence the amazing reviews. Don’t recommend if your a solo female traveller too as there are no locks on the doors

   We stayed here as it had a high rating but soon found out that this is only because they offer free accommodation for a good review. No locks on the doors or place to put your bags. The beds are noisy and uncomfortable. The toilet in our room broke, then the plugs and lights stopped working. We thought it was a power cut but the room next to us had power. We then decided to cut our losses and book somewhere else to stay, when we went to check out they tried to charge us for early check out even though our booking was fully paid up front. If you’re looking to go here for the pool parties, just stay up the road and go in for the party you will save yourself a lot of hassle.

   Like the top review says be aware of 5 stars reviews as they are giving away free accommodation for good reviews. Dorms are fine, beds are really hard and sooo loud. Crazy loud the ac in our room made the bed closest to it squeak. Biggest problem however with the dorms is the no locks, like common I stayed here for full moon party and a lot of people go to this party hostel to pre game before it anyone can just walk in your dorm and steal anything they want. Otherwise I had a really nice experience. Great location, great party and social vibe. Staff is nice, owner is really nice Fair price for buckets, 1 min away from full moon party

   IGNORE 5 STAR REVIEWS - they let you stay for free if you leave one! NOT SAFE FOR WOMEN - no locks on bedroom doors or any locked doors between the street and your bed. A random man not staying in our room came in to use the toilet! Also nowhere to lock your backpacks. There were 5 very small lockers in the room that couldn't fit my 20L rucksack. There were 6 beds so at least one person would not get a locker. The owner will reply and say there are hundreds of lockers, but these are OUTSIDE, dirty and rusty and still not big enough for a rucksack. The curtains around the bed aren't big enough so no way to get privacy. No lights on individual beds. No window in the room! We stayed the night before full moon and it was dead despite calling themselves a party hostel. I don't see a reason to choose this place - it's not cheap, not nice, not particularly lively, and definitely not safe! Reading through the reviews, he will probably also reply to tell me he has no record of my booking - that's because I actually booked in his other hostel and when I showed up we were told there was no room there and we had to stay in this one. Meanwhile there were still beds available for booking in the first hostel. Clearly deliberately overbooking and then moving them to make the "party" hostel seem more full.

    If all you want is to drink and party and not sleep much, then this hostel is okay. I think there could be major improvement. For E.g, there are 5 lockers in the room, but 6 beds. Who goes without. And as most people are backpackers, you'd think you'd have lockers big enough to put your bags in. Bathrooms were gross, even as a "party hostel" you still want to feel clean in the bathroom. Also, there aren't any locks on your room door. I thought this was odd, as every other hostel I've been to has. Some random guy walked into our room to use the bathroom that wasn't staying in our room. I think most of the attention has been used to make the outside better. The swimming Pool, ping pong, pool table, the bar area is all great! Just the inside sucks.

    PLEASE READ: this hostel ONLY has good reviews because they have flyers offering free shots and a free night’s stay if you leave a positive review. I know this is a good location for full moon party but please be aware that this place is a total catfish. No locks on doors, no lockers in room, no power outlets, staff is unsure whether the beds they offer are still occupied or not. When shown our room, I was told to take a bed that still had someone’s belongings on it

    Very over priced, good location for full moon and bar/pool area has a very good vibe however rooms were awful, no lock on doors. Came back and someone was sleeping in my bed, no windows in room, bathroom door didn’t lock. Fits purpose for full moon party but not worth the money paid for stay. Would recommend staying else where and then going to the bar for pre drinks!

    A really bad experience. No lockers, no key for the door, no clean toilets etc…. Keep in mind when booking that there is a DJ playing 24h a day.

    Typical hostel owned by an arrogant old Caucasian man, that’s happy to scam tourists and use his staff as bait to cover his own lies. On the night of the full moon party, it was advised by the bar staff, who were polite and spoke English PERFECTLY, That the hostel was giving out free wristbands at 10pm. However after drinking the hostels drinks for two hours, at 10pm upon asking the bar staff about the wristbands they point to the man sitting at the bar and said you have to talk to our boss. The “boss” then told us that his staff didn’t know anything, that they didn’t speak English and were just refugees. He then attempted to push our guilt conscience on needing to pay for the wristbands. DO NOT SUPPORT THIS COMPANY. For full moon or otherwise.
