Cleanliness was to be desired, the room smelled of bleach for 3 days and somehow still felt dirty. Ant infestation. I had the single room with private bathroom, and the common bathroom has a communicating airway/Window so I could hear everything going on in the common bathroom in the from my room. Hostel is near a club... for those that want to party, this it the place to be.

Great people! A social but not crazy party hostel, I met the best people here. The hostel organized a sunset hike, sunrise hike, trip to the lake and safari for us. They also helped us call a tuk tuk to Polonnaurwa. I was solo traveling here and met people I continued to travel with after my stay. Awesome atmosphere! At night, it’s so hot it can be hard to sleep, and there’s no hand soap in the bathrooms, so I didn’t love the facilities. The pool was a nice space but the water looked a bit...

Very social and friendly hostel, staff were lovely and there were loads of events organised but the rooms were small and there was no lock on the room door and we had no running water one day for any showers, sinks or toilets

Very nice hostel. Everything is clean and the staff are very friendly. There are organized activities every day, so it's easy to meet other people. There's also a communal dinner on some days, which is also very tasty.

Nice hostel in a great location. The staff were kind, even though I didn’t interact with them much. It’s a very social place, perfect for meeting people. There was a small issue with bugs on the first day, but they changed everything quickly and it was fine after. Overall, a good stay—I’d recommend it.

Nicht zu empfehlen! Es war dort sehr dreckig, die Badezimmer stanken nach Urin und wurden nie sauber gemacht! Die Einrichtung ist generell sehr alt und ranzig. Bei meinem Aufenthalt waren dort zwei Typen, die permanent betrunken waren und dort ihre eigene Party feierten, zum Nachteil von anderen. Mein Essen wurde geklaut und in der Küche wimmelte es von Ameisen und anderen Tieren. Generell wurde sehr viel getrunken und gefeiert bis nachts. Leider nicht zu empfehlen! Es gibt bessere Hostels !
