Bed bug reports

Confirmed Hostelworld
The Hostel is not hygienic. I got Bedbugs and there were ants in my bed. Would not recommend. The guy who is renting it is nice and offers a free ride when you arrive and when you leave.

Vibe Analysis
Homemade beer is one of The Snail Haven Pud And Stay's odd little hooks, with brewing on site and a pub idea that still seems to be taking shape. It gives the place a scrappy, personal feel rather than a polished hotel rhythm. The setup is quiet, green, and a bit outside the center, with scooters or bikes making the island much easier. Ken and the team can help arrange scooters, port or airport transfers, ferry tickets, activities, laundry, and local tips. There is a kitchen, free water, coffee, and often instant noodles, plus a relaxed common area and outdoor spots. Rooms and dorms can be simple but comfortable, with clean beds, curtains in the dorm, and enough space in parts of the property to settle in. The vibe leans small, social, and family-run: useful for Con Dao if you want help figuring out transport, hikes, beaches, and low-key island days without being in the middle of town.
Signals to check
- The location is peaceful but not central; a scooter or bike is usually the practical move.
- Breakfast may be only instant noodles and coffee, so do not plan around a proper morning meal.
- Security is basic: lockers may be absent and the main entrance may stay unlocked.
- Cleanliness has been mixed, including one serious bedbug and ant complaint, so check the bed on arrival.
- The property can feel unfinished in places, and scooter quality may vary.
