Had an amazing stay at this hostel. I stayed here for a week, which was a few days longer than planned. The hostel offers many activities of things to do around the area and tours as well. It is located in a great area near everything you need. The rooms were clean and the environment is great day or night. The staff are very accommodating and will make sure you feel at home. One of the best hostels I’ve ever been too and plan to be back one day.

Wasn’t a very social hostel, wasn’t a fan of the vibe. Came down one morning and 2 guys were on the phone to an OF girl having videos sent to them, that you could hear when walking past. Asked a few times about the tour I booked and transport and unfortunately didn’t get any help with those. Didn’t feel too safe going out of a night.

It’s alright for 2-3 nights. The kitchen is pretty good but only a couple of the stove tops actually work. common areas are pretty nice. mind your food around the cats we saw one eat half of a red snapper and we found our bread with an enormous hole into 4 of the slices - was actually quite impressed, the naughty critters🐈‍⬛. Rooms are alright, shower cold.

+ Excellent location, good vibe, good view, good kitchen place, good view, good staff.

- In the room for 10 people there is only one bathroom (plus one another outside of the room, two floors up), but it's ok... Get ready one of these days to not have electricity, but that's not a big problem, because the kitchen is on the gas, just need you to have an extra battery for your phone. The locker was smaller - only for one small backpack. Hi

+ As an ex-backpacker now traveling with a 10yo, I was a bit nervous and not sure what to expect. I can very safely say that I have no legitimate complaints. We had a private room with AC which was more than enough and very reasonable for the money. Staff was everything you could ask for...and the daily fry-jacks and orange juice were a fantastic bonus. Honestly, no complaints at all. To go a step further, I'm now at an AirBNB just up the street because the rest of the family joined...and the first thing we did was to head back to Bella's to close out the night.

- No complaints...but because you're asking - the music could be a bit (a lot) better. Same genre, pretty much non-stop. But having said that, I'm an old guy complaining about today's music...which as we know is pretty bad :)

+ Das Hostel ist wirklich super gelegen. Zu Fuß ist man nur 2 Straßen vom Zentrum entfernt, wo Restaurants und Supermärkte sind. Der Fluss ist ebenfalls super schnell zu erreichen. Nur 5 Minuten. Auch der Markt und die Bushaltestelle der öffentlichen Verbindungen sind in wenigen Minuten zu Fuß erreichbar. Das Hostel ist eine kleine Ruhe Oase und hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Die Küche ist gut ausgestattet und es gibt frische Orangen am Morgen. Das Personal ist super freundlich und hilfsbereit. Es gibt täglich ein kleines Angebot von gemeinsamen Aktivitäten. Die Leute sind sehr bemüht. Wir hatten das private Doppelzimmer, welches ganz oben ist. Es war wie ein kleines Baumhaus, was uns super gut gefallen hat. Man ist buchstäblich in der Baumkrone und hört die Vögel zwitschern. Wir können das Hostel sehr empfehlen.

- Eine kleine Verbesserung wäre, wenn es ein paar Haken zum Aufhängen im Zimmer gegeben hätte. Die Matratzen waren schon sehr durchgelegen. Was für uns manchmal etwas befremdlich war, dass fie Toilette direkt gegenüber der Bar gewesen ist. Das war manchmal etwas merkwürdig, wenn man nachts auf Klo gegangen ist und dort noch Leute saßen und getrunken haben. Das hat uns aber wenig gestört und wir hatten einen richtig tollen Aufenthalt.
