Lovesick Hostel & Bar M'pai Bay

+ Niks

- Kei harde muziek van 11uur ‘s avonds tot 5 uur in de ochtend hierdoor kon je niet slapen….. Douches heel smerig en geen gordijnen voor de ramen.

+ The location is good. Staff is friendly.

- The fan isn’t enough to cool down in the extremely hot room. Also there were a lot of mosquitos. The two persons bed was provided with a dirty mosquito net, but the bunk bed didn’t have any mosquito net. Also from the ceiling there were things falling down on the bed. Also an old toothbrush was found under the bed. And the bottom of the bed was bad, because it was hanging through the wooden bottom.

+ comfortable beds and there was a fan.

- This hostel is just a few weeks old, so I was willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, especially since the owners were initially nice. That was until I was woken up at 3AM to some people turning on their sound system full blast and being insanely loud for over an hour. Everyone walked out of their private rooms and were absolutely shocked what was happening. I put on my noise cancelling earphones and played some white noise full blast but could still hear them through the thin walls. Never have I ever experienced something this blatant in over 30 countries of travelling. For those that want to party, sure this place could be for you. But for those that actually seek relaxation, I'd truly avoid this place. Also, there never was anyone at reception and I understand they just opened, but the whole thing seemed disorganized. I'm sure their hostel will become better, such as more chill areas, but honestly there seemed to be a lot better places on my walk through town with a much better atmosphere. I wish I stayed elsewhere - perhaps I would have actually gotten a night's sleep.

+ La ubicación del Hostel y la pareja que trabajaba allí era atenta.

- Tuvimos una noche terrible. Llegamos justo la noche que había una fiesta, y nosotros veníamos de unos días donde habíamos viajado mucho y lo que queríamos era un sueño decente. La recepcionista, en el momento del check in nos advirtió que había una fiesta esa noche y que terminaba a las 2 am. Nosotros le dijimos que no importaba y pagamos la reserva. A las 6/7pm ya había música que se escuchaba desde la habitación pero no era molesta, así que pensamos que el volumen de la música sería un poco más alto. A la noche, ya estaba muy fuerte pero a las 11 pm incrementó el volumen de forma exagerada, nuestras camas retumbaban, la música parecía que estaba dentro de nuestra habitación, por lo que el nivel de aislamiento de la habitación es NULO. Era literalmente imposible dormir. Yo me he alojado en party hostels previamente pero nunca en ninguno había sido de ese nivel. La música fuertísima terminó sobre las 3:00 am pero luego siguió a un volumen un poco más bajo. No pegamos ojo en toda la noche. Si queréis una noche de sueño, considerad esto porque, aunque según los trabajadores no hay fiestas todas las noches, puede haber la noche en la que te alojes. Éramos conscientes por la pequeña descripción y algunas de las fotos publicadas de que era un hostel con música y ambiente de fiesta, pero ese nivel era insoportable. Como consecuencia, cancelamos la noche siguiente y los trabajadores nos devolvieron el dinero de la segunda noche. Durante la conversación, nos ofrecieron cambiarnos de habitación y nos dijeron que la noche siguiente no había fiesta. Al final no nos quedamos pero agradecimos su iniciativa igualmente.

- There were no walls - so everything from the front desk and common area could be heard & smelled from the bed. You could smell anytime was smoking a cigarette while trying to sleep. The door didn’t close so there was always a cat in the room (I’m allergic). You could hear and smell whenever they put out food for the dogs. It rained one night and water leaked all over my bag. I tried to ask if I could check out earlier and find somewhere else but they said it wasn’t possible. No wi-fi available

+ Tolle Stimmung, sehr nette Menschen, hilfsbereites Personal und neues, sauberes Hostel.

+ Nous avons beaucoup aimé l’emplacement! La chambre était bien, mais le matelas creusait un peu. C’est tout près de la plage, une vue sur la mer, et tout près du village où manger dans les nombreux bons restaurants de l’île (tout est près dans un si petit village). Les bénévoles qui y travaillaient pendant notre séjour étaient très sympa et les activités organisées chaque soir étaient très fun! Un gros plus pour les adorables chiens!! Je dirais qu’il manque un peu d’amour dans l’établissement en soi, mais rien qui fasse en sorte que je n’y retournerais pas! :)

+ Tout près de la plage, proprios très sympas et chambee privée calme!

+ Close to every restaurants and to beautiful beaches The staff was friendly

- No AC, no wifi I wanted a calm hostel after being on kho rong island, I wanted to relax, there was loud music late at night, they did warned me in the welcome message after I booked my stay but it’s not refundable so it doesn’t change anything

+ Great island location, staff very friendly Basic accomodation walls are very thin in the private rooms

- Had a private room but could hear everything in the other rooms as its very thin walls and everytime someone went to the bathroom your room Lit up with the lights from outside and their was noise from the banging doors

+ A group of young people are doing their best to run this hostel. They are friendly and helpful.

- There is no hot water, and the bathrooms and toilets are not clean. There are only two bathrooms. There is no hot water and Wi-Fi and Mirrors :( You can stay here, but in my opinion, it’s not worth the high price.

+ Hans and Lauren are there to help out with whatever you need and it’s clear they want everyone to have a great stay here. They had a team of volunteers always around and good music on at night. Great place to stay if you want to socialise.
