Recibi maltratos e insultos de una voluntaria francesa. El dueño me cambió de cama porque me hace mal el ventilador cuando duermo. Entró esta mujer y pregunta que hacia en esa cama. Le que el dueño me cambió de cama. Me dijo que me tenía que ir del Hostel. Le dije que hable con el dueño y empezó a gritar e insultar. Yo mismo llamé al dueño que es local. Y le dijo que efectivamente me cambió el la cama. Y así y todo siguió insultándome y señalando con el dedo..insultos muy fuerte...

1- the guests can not use kitchen 2- No kettle No water - u should always pay for them 3- In the showers, no hanger for your towel and clothes 4- No soaps or shampoo at all 5- There were nets above the beds but they were damaged and mosquitoes & bugs were all inside 6- you should leave your shoes & slippers outside but the floor of the room was dirtier than outside 7- there were no duvet covers. So you should you use the blankets directly. How many people or how many times used we don't ...

Arguably one of the worst hostels I’ve ever stayed in. The French woman at the desk is lovely. The rooms are vile and the fans are so ineffective you’re sleeping in 30 degrees heat. Massive bugs were in our rooms and random people kept walking in at 3am. The showers are freezing cold, and nowhere to put anything. Only one communal sink with no soap. Everyone stays here and checks out after one night

Overall, this was a disappointing experience. It mainly stems from the hostel being in need of basic repairs, such as linoleum flooring had multiple holes in it, the bicycle I rented didn’t have functioning brakes, unclear information from management, staircase in need of repairs etc Other issues stems from the lack of basic security, there was no lock to the dorms, while made it seem quite unsafe

UN CONSEIL: RÉSERVEZ AILLEURS !! Quand je suis arrivée on m’a dit qu’il n’y avait pas de chambre pour moi alors que j’avais pré-payé et réservé une chambre. De plus, une personne devait venir me chercher à l’embarcadère mais personne n’est venu. J’ai du marcher plus de 20min avec mes affaires de 25kg dans la boue et sous la pluie car aucun transport ne voulait m’y conduire. Je venais de passer une grosse journée de voyage, j’étais exténuée et la nuit tombait. Ap...

Meh it was a fine stay but really far away from everything. Definitely need to rent bikes or tuk tuks from here. The stairs up to the dorms were not very accessible. Very nice that they have fans and mosquito nets (super needed) but my net had a bunch of holes in it. I don’t think I would stay at again due to location.

Didn’t stay one night because it looked as though it had bed bugs and we didn’t want to take the risk. Toilets were unclean and smelly. Only used them once. Booked at a guesthouse in a better location for a good price.

Hostel rustique, à la façon villageoise, peu de sanitaire pour le nombre, douche avec faible filet d’eau. Coin commun sympa. Literie correcte. Pas assez de casier pour tout le monde. Et surtout très très loin du village

Lots of potential but sadly not well maintained or executed. Common space was shut down and closed every night around 10 pm, after that there was not a single place to hang out or even sit down. The common area was quite dirty, cushions to sit on were stained and filthy, tablecloths full of ants and other bugs. Three big cockroaches in our bunglow, one even in the bed. Pictures are not up to date anymore, no hammocks/ chairs by the beach. Left earlier as planned bc it wasn’t rlly comfy.

Overall it was okay, the staff is really nice and the pick up service at the pier was convenient. Don’t expect anything fancy though. There is no AC and it will get hot.

vermutlich die beste Unterkunft von Preis/Leistung auf Don Det. Auch die Preise vom Restaurant waren überragend. Wer ein wenig mehr Komfort braucht, wird zumindest im Schlafsaal ein wenig Probleme haben, für den durchschnittlichen Backpacker ist das aber optimal. Die Lage ist super am Wasser und auch die Distanz zum "Ortszentrum" ist wenig dramatisch...

WOWOWOW my favourite hostel / place in south east asia. par and his wife and family were so kind and welcoming to me. the beach is amazing as is the island itself. i would recommend getting a private room as it is more comfortable than the dormitories and such great value. KHAP JAI LAI LAI🫶🏼🫶🏼

Had a great stay, events every night, clean rooms, good noise cancellation given the proximity to the exciting neighbourhood, the workers and volunteers were amazing, specifically manny, the dude created an awesome vibe and made sure everyone was having a good time all the time, 10/10 would recommend

Enjoyed my stay there, the owner is really kind and helpful and it’s a great place to socialize and rest. It’s a little bit outside town so plan a headlamp at night but the walk is nice and the food is amazing. I recommend.

Hostel bon marché à 20-25min à pied de la « ville », équipements rustiques mais prix en conséquences (3€/nuit), dans l’ensemble c’est un bon rapport qualité prix, le matelas était confortable, la moustiquaire était très trouée. Les sanitaires extérieurs mériteraient une lumière plus puissante la nuit. La cuisine était très bonne.

Très bon hostel, l'espace chill/restaurant est très sympa et la nourriture est bonne. L'emplacement est un peu loin du centre mais ils proposent une location de vélos qui permettent de se déplacer sur les îles.

The showers/toilets stink of urine, it's disgusting, but the beds are clean. However, you only have a tiny locker outside the room (big enough for a handbag and toiletries) and nowhere to store your belongings. It's really not ideal for backpackers. There was a balcony behind our dorm and some bags were stored there. So in the morning and evening, people who weren't sleeping in that room had to cross over to get their belongings...

The only hostel on the island so the best option for a solo traveller or someone looking to meet people. but it was a bit far from stuff and not that comfortable compared to other options on the island (I stayed in a private hut). But it’s very cheap, well organised, pool table, nice restaurant, private beach etc, depends what you want
