Crazy good hostel! Pros: - super social, was solotravelling, met tons of fun people - skaterbowl - staff working will teach you to surfskate - cheap surfboard rental - good deals for tucktucks taking you to the different beaches - very friendly staff, have lots of good advice on surrounding beaches Cons: - sell no beer in hostel Neutral: - little outside of town (15" walk - they clearly mention this), can be a bit of a hassle, but also brings people together Can recommend it fully hearted!

It was okay, therer were a few random bugs in our room but if you do not have a problem with that it should be okay. In general the room is nothing special. yoj can walk to the crocodile or elephant rock from the hostel which is nice but besides that everything is quite a bit away :/

A great team, always smiling and ready to help. The rooms are nice with a large bathroom. The common areas are cool, just a little far from the main street.

Sehr nettes Personal. Die Anlage war sehr cool. Leider lag das Hostel etwas außerhalb, weshalb man sich immer ein TukTuk holen musste.

Hostel was super fun, workers were all amazing. The private room didn’t have a working shower or wifi while we stayed is my only complaint. But it is a wonderful place to socialise

Bon hostel pour les personnes qui souhaitent surfer et faire la fête, faire beaucoup la fête. Sinon, je ne conseille pas tellement Il y a très peu de pression dans la douche, aucun endroit où poser ses affaires. Assez galère de prendre sa douche Les matelas sont ultra fins donc vous dormez sur le bois Et l’emplacement est un peu embêtant, il faut sans cesse prendre un Tuktuk pour aller en ville/à la plage (400roupies)

One of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed in. The staff are great, it’s layed back and social. Not far from town or the beach. Food and drinks are good rooms are comfortable and tidy. The lil skatepark is great fun once the sun in down. Perfect!! Only thing missing was beers 😂

Lovely staff, nice hangingout area! But if you want to sleep this may not be your hostel. There is no silence in the night times, people skate until mid night, talk during silence time and drink etc. Aircon barely worked so it was over 30° in women dormitory often. Also toilet door (toilet is open for outdoor air) didnt keep closed so we had during night time lots of mosquitos and heat came in from that door also. Beds are so old that you always wakeup when upper bed move.
