Was a really nice and social hostel. I felt really comfortable. The beds I didn’t really like besides that good hostel, good to met people and is pretty central and really close to the beach. Extented from two to four nights:)

I was meant to stay 3 nights and ended up staying 5 purely for the people and the vibes. Hasinda was an absolute legend, always offering coffee or tea, taking care of us, keeping the place clean and the vibes high.

I really enjoyed my stay at wanders!! The staff are so friendly and welcoming. There are plenty of close by restaurants and the beach is only 8 minutes walk from the hostel. I would recommend staying here when coming to trimocaloee.

J'ai donc passé une nuit dans cet Hostel. J'ai été super bien accueilli, divers activités sont proposé. Hostel avec une ambiance super de partage, de music, de fou rire. Mon lit en dortoire était très comfortable, les personnes autour respecte le sommeil des autres. Je vous recommande cet Hostel tant pour sa quality d'accueil, l'ambiance et la quality du service. À 5 minutes de la plage. C'était juste parfait pour faire des rencontres et profiter un maximum des possibility sur Trincom...

I stayed here for 3 nights and hands down this is the best hostel. Everything about the place is amazing great atmosphere, clean rooms, and a perfect location with everything nearby and the beach just a short walk away. A special thanks to Asintha, who is one of the best hosts ever. He is very helpful, friendly, and always makes sure guests are comfortable. Beautiful place, great vibes, and unforgettable experience.

We enjoyed staying here. Its a good place with basic facilities for a good price. Close to a street full of nice restaurants and close to the beach. There is a good and social common area. Hasintha was the staff and host during our stay and he is funny and very friendly. Helping you with everything you want to do in trinco. I definitely recommend this place!

Despite going here off season, this hostel had the BEST atmosphere. A truly great experience and Chatu, the host, couldn’t have been more welcoming and kind, letting us extend 4 days in a row (as it was that good!!). He even gave us little snacks which were all local cuisine. Perfect location right on the beach too! Definitely a must stay here! Thank you :)

A really friendly and relaxed hostel in a great location. Staff are so helpful and organised multiple things for us like taxis and even got a local to take us up to see the crocodiles. Facilities are very basic but do the job. Air con is also good so we had a good sleep.

I really loved this hostel! No its not comfortable but its clean, the hosts are amazing. Can recommend the breakfast (not included but worth the 1200r) For the ladies; the female dorm doesn’t have an airco, but I got used to it. Stayed way longer then expected because of the amazing vibe. Love this place ❤️

Excellent atmosphere, and the staff are incredibly nice! Great place to meet people and very well located. The only downside is that the rooms and bathrooms are very basic. Otherwise, everything is perfect!

Bed Bugs !!! Many of them !! Got bitten over the whole body. Furthermore the staff took the AC remote control & wanted to charge us 5€ per night. The AC was still in the room, he just removed the remote control so we could not use it ?! Laundry service - got the clothes back WET. The bathroom was completely flooded with water after (short) showering. Walls literally 1mm thick. If you are still considering going there, the only positive thing to say is that the atmosphere was social.

Cooles Hostel um Leute aus aller Welt kennen zulernen. Auch im Privat room leider sehr hellhörig. Für die Fernbedinung der Klimaanlage mussten Wir allerdings extra zahlen,weil wir anscheind den einzigen Raum mit Klimaanlage hatten. Im großen und ganzen eine nette Unterkunft mit sehr freundlichen Personal.
