I stayed in the 12-bed female dorm, and the room was great clean and well organized. My bed had a curtain, an individual light, and even a shelf for my belongings. The shared bathroom was also very good, clean and smelled nice. On the first floor, there was a common area with a sofa and another bathroom. I absolutely loved the hostel’s atmosphere I played beer pong at night, and it was really easy to make friends since there are always lots of people around the pool area. It’s definitely wo...
The atmosphere and common areas are great! The staff is really nice, and they have awesome happy hour deals in the bar, that change every hour! They also have a beer pong tournament every night, which is great for meeting new people! Close to the beach and close to Rocky Coffee, where you can get awesome breakfast. However, our beds in room 7 were VERY hard to lie on, while other rooms had softer beds. The aircon wasn’t great either, but it was there. It was nice with curtains on the bed!
Sehr günstiges aber sehr komisches Hostel, anderes Zimmer als gebucht erhalten… Toiletten und Bäder sind sehr dreckig. Hab mich nicht wohl gefühlt…
The cheapest and most fun hostel on the entire island! The common areas are amazing, with a pool, gym, 24-hour bar, padel court, ping pong, and a pool table. The stay was smooth and everything went well clean beds and clean rooms It’s definitely a place where you’ll leave with lots of friends. It’s super easy to meet people and enjoy both the nightlife and the daytime here.
+ Que la parte de mujeres estuviera separada del resto del hostel.
- La habitación no tenía ventana. El check in fue bastante malo. Las chicas que atienden no te tratan muy bien. Llegamos a la habitación y además de ser oscuro por no tener ventanas, no tenía ventilación; una cama aún estaba sucia, y no sabían dónde estaba el control del aire acondicionado. El personal no habla inglés. Encima el dueño (un francés que quiso insinuarse un poco con nosotras) no nos quiso guardar comida en la heladera del bar por lo que tuvimos que tirarla. Hay café pero no te dan agua.
+ Staff are nice
- Wasn’t clean, my bed sheets were not changed from the last person, bathroom facilities were also pretty dirty.
+ ממש זול
It has potential but it’s just so dirty, also not a female only hostel
I’m honestly very disappointed with my stay. When I arrived, my bed smelled strongly of sweat, and it stayed that way for the entire three days, as if the sheets had not been washed. The floor was clearly not cleaned either, there was hair everywhere. At one point, there was even no water at all in the bathroom. Overall, the level of cleanliness was extremely poor. I chose this hostel based on the photos I saw on Hostelworld, but the reality was completely different. The pictures are ...

Not very social at all considering it’s meant to be more of a party hostel, everyone is just stoned so there just sitting around like zombies all day and night. We got to our room and the floor was filthy so we’re the bathrooms so I don’t think they even get cleaned often. There’s only two bathrooms for lots of people to share so constantly having to wait around to use them.
+ Pas grand chose.
- L’hôtel n’est pas éloigné des bars, il a lui même un bar. Donc ça ne correspond pas à la description « éloigné du bruit et plus calme ». Ça n’étais pas très propre et le personnel n’étais vraiment pas accueillant. Étant donné que ça ne collait pas à la description et à ce que l’on recherchait nous sommes parties mais n’avons pas pu être remboursées. Réservez cet hôtel si vous souhaitez faire la fête sinon allez dans le nord de l’île beaucoup plus calme.
+ När man låg i sängen var det ganska trevligt, det fanns ganska många faciliteter som vi upptäckte allt eftersom t.ex. pool, gym och bar.
- Fruktansvärt smutsigt. Det fanns endast 2 toaletter/duschar delat på ett helt hus med gäster och dessa toaletter var i så fruktansvärt dåligt skick. Hade också en massa myror som kröp bredvid min säng. Jag skulle aldrig bo här igen, men vill man ha ett billigt boende och har 0 standars funkar det.
Absolutely awful. The hostel was dirty, dingy and nothing like the photos. Not a female only hostel- it’s connected to the main hostel/bar and it stinks of weed all the time. The one bathroom they have in the female building is horrible- the door is broken, ants in the sink and it’s constantly soaking wet
Las fotos no corresponden con el lugar, es un edificio para mujeres pero estaba abandonado y descuidado, tambien estaba todo sucio y la cama no era comoda

+ La zona común, es enorme, con muchas areas de chill con sofás, mesas de billar y de ping pong, una buena piscina con muchas hamacas, además de buena musica de fondo. Para pasar el rato allí esta muy bien. ¡!Además sirven un Khao Soi delicioso!! También me pareció muy conveniente el poder abrir una cuenta y pagar todo al final en check out. Del personal a destacar Lean, fue super amable y simpático. La habitación era bonita.
- La cama se sentía como dormir sobre una tabla de madera, sorprendentemente no tuve dolor de espalda pero tampoco fue nada cómoda. La ducha olía muy mal, terriblemente mal, daba la sensación de estar duchandose con agua de cloaca, y me parece poco dos baños (con una sola ducha y wc) para un edificio entero. La puerta del balcón de la habitación no cerraba completamente dejando un hueco para que entraran los mosquitos.
Guys. This is not a female only hostel it is a female only building with a sports hostel that is full of men connected to it. THERE ARE MEN EVERYWHERE. Hostel staff were lovely, friendly and accommodating. Location sucked I rented a bike from the hostel but hated driving it as felt so far from everything. Security? That’s a funny joke. Hostel room didn’t lock, there were “lockers” for your smaller bags did they lock properly? No. Wouldn’t recommend this place and didn’t meet any trav...
+ Nice little balcony in the female only dorm, other than that nothing really, the girls in my room were also so polite that no-one made any noise at night or turned on the lights, although the whole room’s light was in my bed for some reason
- The staff was super rude, the receptionist girl was flirting with the other employee while I was just there waiting to be led to my room, felt like I shouldn’t have been there
As a solo female traveler I would never come back here again. I didn’t feel unsafe, however there is zero security and anyone could walk in. Staff were not helpful and the French worker was drunk while showing me to my room, he seemed more bothered about partying than doing his job. The bathroom wasn’t cleaned once while being here and it was disgustingggg. AC broken and terrible bedroom lighting, would get more light from a candle. I wouldn’t let my worst enemy stay here tbh. 0 star
