+ The location was okay but nothing else was positive.

- This is genuinely the worst place I've ever stayed. Dirty, old, uncomfortable, smelly, gross kitchen and rooms. Have no idea why this place is rated so well. Creepy and weird, a man screaming all night. Horrible experience.

+ Er waren enkel bedden en geen stapelbedden wat als backpacker fijn was voor de verandering.

- De boeking is niet goed ontvangen, waardoor we niet kregen wat we verwachtten. In plaats van drie bedden in een dorm verbleef één persoon in een dorm en twee anderen in een tweepersoonskamer met aparte bedden, terwijl ons bij het afrekenen ter plekke bij de receptie was verteld dat het om een tweepersoonsbed ging. Daarnaast was er geen gratis ontbijt, hoewel dit tijdens de reservering wel werd vermeld. De keuken was onhygiënisch en andere faciliteiten waren niet schoon. De bedlakens roken muf en stoffig. Op het slaapkamerraam was een tekst geschreven: “Ik heb hier s*ks gehad,” met een pijl naar het bed eronder. Verder was de kamer stoffig en bevuild met kruimels, schimmel en dode insecten. Er waren geen gordijnen en de kamer had geen sleutel, waardoor deze alleen van binnen op slot kon. Dit zorgde voor een gebrek aan privacy. De voordeur was ook altijd open. Bovendien waren de ramen slecht geïsoleerd en was er harde muziek tot 22:00-23:00 uur. Daarnaast waren er in de badkamer geen basisvoorzieningen zoals toiletpapier, handzeep en een handdoek of iets anders om je af te drogen.

- Just because I was trying to understand what he wanted to explain to me, in 1 minute, the owner got really angry with me and violently slammed the door. Some guests heard and kindly came out to ask if I was okay because they thought there was a big fight. Due to a mistake made by the hostel, I ended up paying twice for the same night. The owner didn't want to refund me, told me it was my fault despite their obvious mistake. I didn't feel safe at all after that. The mistake has still not been resolved. I never leave comments but given the totally inappropriate attitude of the owner, I prefer to leave a review here to warn future customers.

- The parking was very difficult. The girl who booked ys in stank .The room was dirty with a broken window. We asked for a refund the manager got very aggressive and refused. After we took a stand he gave us what he said was 150 and I was so shaken I didn't check it was 100.The atmosphere was very creepy with seedy people hanging out. We didn't stay yhere and escaped quite dhaken by yhe suggestion and poor state if yge place. I eoildnt stay three fir your own safety

- Die Betten waren nicht sauber und das Brot beim Frühstück hat geschimmelt. Auf Nachfrage ob ich ein neues Bettlaken habe könnte, wurde nur gesagt dass alles sauber sei. Damit wurde die Diskussion beendet. Das Frühstück war ein Reinfall. Das Brot war abgelaufen und hat geschimmelt. Als ich darauf hingewiesen habe, wurde das Brot weggenommen, nach kurzer Zeit stand es wieder da. ICH habe es dann entsorgt.

- This is a crack den. Do not stay here. It has permanent crack head residents that think they own the place.

- Fairly rowdy crowds staying there, with music playing to 4am.

+ The owner was friendly and helpful over the phone and told me that he had cancelled the booking online. However the booking was never cancelled even after several reminders, phone calls and messages through Booking.com.

- The booking deposit was not refunded as the owner had promised.

All pretty good. Liked the staff, atmosphere, people. As a single person cost in a double room a bit high, but will contact you direct next time. It would also be nice and in character to have muesli rather than cornflakes/weeties for breakfast.

+ Kaikkien kasvien keskellä paikka on kuin ihan omassa maailmassaan. Talo on tunnelmallinen; korkeat huoneet, omaperäinen sisustus, parveke ja paljon kasveja ympärillä sekä mukavat yhteiset tilat. Jokaisella on oma sänky, ei kerrossänkyjä.

Very strange experience here, if you like old fashioned, old smells, and things not being cleaned. We had an older man routing through the rubbish bins and shouting at staff which made us feel very uncomfortable and unsafe

Such a wonderful place! In this charming old Villa you feel like you are gone back to the last century. The antique furniture adds a lots of charm and the modern amenities perfectly suits the needs of the backpackers. Very friendly staff, thank you! I will come back.

Es ist schon etwas besonders, aber trotzdem cool. Es gibt auch genug Orte an denen man sich aufhalten kann. Außerdem gibt es Frühstück
