Unfortunately, my experience was quite disappointing, even though the house itself and the garden are pretty. It was very difficult to find the hostel because NONE of the information online was right. The welcome felt unprofessional, and during my stay the service level was very low. I once ordered a cup of coffee and it took nearly an hour to get it. VERY uncomfortable beds, bedlinen were not changed, room never cleaned, garbage in the room not emptied. Level of customer service highly needed.

Purtroppo la realtà dei fatti è molto diversa da quanto scritto nella descrizione sul sito. Non solo non c'è nessuno dei servizi descritti. La cucina, è molto sporca, c'è poco spazio in frigorifero per conservare gli alimenti e pochissimi utensili per cucinare. L'acqua per lavarsi (quando c'era) era pochissima. Ma la cosa peggiore è stata il personale, fatta eccezione per la gentilissima donna delle pulizie. Ovviamente, a pagamento, tutti i servizi mancanti comparivano magicamente.

A very welcoming place. Nice interaction with staff and guests. A very nice place to feel at home. Also by being guests we are contributing to their worthy project, visit it or order meals to contribute more. I felt very much at home there. Thanks for everyone.

This hostel is in business, I almost didn’t book it due to previous comments, it’s just at a different location. The location is great, ambience is peaceful, they also do great charity work, highly recommend!

Para pasar una noche no está mal, pero es más una casa que un hostel. El anfitrión vive allí y los espacios comunes como salón y terraza están ocupados con gente por la noche durmiendo (puede que no siempre). Esto hace que no tengas mucho espacio personal en las zonas comunes Tienen una terraza y sofás agradables La habitación estaba limpia, la cocina un poco menos La casa está en una urbanización privada, es segura. Lo malo es que no está cerca andando de casi nada, pero eso es...

This hostel does not exist anymore. It is now a private home. I already paid the booking fee and didn’t receive my money back.

Tom is such a careful person! His priority is making the guests feel comfortable and at home! Also the place is really clean (Gift cleans everyday). I can recommend to everyone visiting Akogo House! :)

Tom was very nice, but the pictures did not look like reality. Damp in the bedrooms, bathroom not cleaned, no toilet paper, no soap. We stayed only one night instead of 2 but had to pay for the 2 nights. The garden is beautiful and it is in a gated community so very safe. Better hostels for the same price and do not believe the 9.7 rating than the hostel has at the moment.

I had a great stay at Akogo house, Rachel and Tom were both very helpful! The only thing missing would be a locker to safety store our valuables.

For 5€ there is of course not much to expect but the Moskito nets have hole's. Doors don’t work…. I wouldn’t recommend to stay even though the staff is very friendly. The risk of getting malaria is just to high for foreigners

I struggled with the tuktuk to find a road which leads to the place, then the doorbell was broken so we had to pound on the door. When I left again, the lady reassured me the door would be open and I can just push or she’ll hear us yelling when we came back- that wasn’t true at all, I was stuck outside for 10 minutes shouting and banging on the door when I returned. It’s a very modest home, so be prepared- you get what you pay for. No plugs, lockers, basic kitchen - wifi barely works upst...

we stayed in the akogo house for onenight. The staff there was nice to us though the place is not really like a hostel but more a private house which also rents rooms and bunk beds to foreigners. It was a bunch of guys hanging up there and it did not feel very safe at first when we arrived there.

This hostel was quite pretty and inexpensive. The staff were super friendly and accommodating, making the place feel like home. The property was very secure in a safe neighborhood and had nice facilities and strong wifi. Would go again :)
