    There is huge sign out front that says property is closed by government and they are continuing operations illegally. Staff couldn’t give clear answer as to why sign is there so I would assume due to bed bug issue I see in other reviews. Not accommodating staff I personally found them rude, not much socialization. Property is fairly clean and good location but pretty much anything in port Barton is good location. Very suspicious. I would book else where as there is also very loud construction.

    Unfortunately, myself and other guests had bed bugs. While the staff handled it well — moved me to another room for my last night (supposedly bed-bug free) and washed all my clothes — I can’t recommend staying here. I’ve been travelling for 3 months and haven’t run into this issue before. The communal washroom area also smelled quite bad. Aside from those issues, I would have like this place — the common area with hammocks and yoga mats was really nice.

    BEDBUGS in the dorms! This is by far the worst hostel I’ve ever stayed in. There is a severe ongoing bedbug infestation, and the staff and owner are fully aware yet fail to take any action. I was informed that this has been a persistent, long-term issue, allowing guests to stay under these conditions is irresponsible and unethical. Guests are unknowingly transporting bedbugs in their belongings, contributing to the spread to other accommodations and their home. Avoid this at all costs!

    WARNING – BEDBUG ISSUE Very disappointing stay. There is clearly a bedbug problem here, and it doesn’t seem new or properly handled. Other hostels in the area warned about it in advance, and after staying here (Islanders), I was not allowed to check into other Hostels due to the risk of spreading them. Guests may unknowingly carry them in their luggage and bring them elsewhere. The place also seems to operate without proper authorization. I strongly recommend avoiding it.

    BEDBUGS! They didn’t even care when we showed them the dead bedbug in my bed. No refund or not even a sorry. They were just nonchalant:( Also brown water in the showers..
