Why this surfaced

Repeated, deduplicated traveler-review reports matched these incident categories:

One report can match more than one category. Counts describe review reports, not independently verified incidents.

These are reports in traveler reviews, not independently verified incidents. Duplicate review text and strong repeat-reviewer identities count once.

Category matches are automated. Relevant passages are exact review quotes selected from concrete incident wording, not hidden model rationales. If none appears, treat the match as suspect and check the full review.

    The man at reception was very weird and made me feel very uncomfortable, he kept asking if I was alone and if I had a boyfriend and how old I was and started hitting on me. As a young solo female traveler I felt very uncomfortable and unsafe. The hostel is also located right next to the road so it’s very loud when you’re trying to sleep.

    Good location I felt very unsafe. In our women's bedroom there was a hole in the net by the window, which resulted in a power bank being stolen. We were not compensated for this. In addition, we were harassed by an elderly man, even after we told the manager, nothing was done about it. The place in general was unsafe, at night - just above the Hostel - were constantly loud fireworks.

    • Theft / access / security Relevant passage The second night my charger was stolen from outside through the fly screen, where there's an obvious hole, this time absolutely nothing was done.

    I would never recommend this place, in the three nights I stayed there, all three I felt unsafe. The first night an older man left a creepy message in the bathroom next to the dorm I was sharing with two other girls, next to nothing was done. We were told it wasn't the first time this had occurred but yet he was still allowed to stay there. The second night my charger was stolen from outside through the fly screen, where there's an obvious hole, this time absolutely nothing was done. Disgusting.

    DO NOT STAY HERE! We had a very weird stay at this hostel. Two very creepy men, one of which asked the staff where our dorm was and came knocking at 10pm. The other (who is living there for 6 months) left sexual and creepy notes in the girls bathroom. To which the member of staff told us this happens often with him, but then proceeded to just remove the notes from the bathroom. We honestly felt scared in this hostel, girls do not stay here. Only thing good was the kitchen.

    Hostel is in a good location&clean&breakfast. Morning of check out I moved my name labelled bag of food from the kitchen to the table so I didn’t forget to take it with me. I went to my room and within 10 mins my bag of food had been stolen. staff didn’t do anything I asked for them to check cctv apparently it doesn’t work. I asked if they can reimburse me and they said no. They then cancelled my booking so I couldn’t review the hostel. Very shady. Good thing can see sloths&tucans from Balcony

    I booked a night online, I arrived at the property in the late afternoon but it seemed they weren't ready to recive me. So I left my things there and I came back two hours later finding no one in the reception. After half an hour a guy came showing my bed wich was dirty of sand, at least I was alone in the dorm. In the night someone stole my food from the fridge and the receptionist said to me that they can do nothing for that.
