Very very basic hostel, no locks on doors, water rarely works and neither do the plug sockets. Well located for nestival but there are much better hostels in this part of koh rong for the same price

The property was in a very good location for nestival, I stayed here two nights. The showers and toilets are alright, kept getting blocked though. However don’t really recommend staying because I got bed bugs here and had to get my whole bag washed !!!

Overall fine as its near nestival and on the quiet side of island. but seemed very disorganised and staff dont seem to care or understand how to run hostel with beds being double booked etc. no locks on doors, one toilet block for whole hostel. seems to need upgrading and with being full next to nestival surely they have the money to? had 2 shorts taken from rails outside too

Had a very good stay here! The owner is very nice and the beds are clean. The A/C was on the entire day which is kinda rare on this island, but absolutely necessary! When he witnessed how some tuktuk driver tried to scam me he approached me and said he could drive me for half the price! Very very nice can highly recommend

Basic hostel but the owner was incredibly friendly. Location is good for Nestival but not much else. Beds and bathroom were clean and overall a good stay :)

Great hostel for staying in if you want to be next to nestival. Accommodation and hostel is basic but does the job and the owner is the loveliest guy you’ll ever meet.

Was an amazing hostel and very cheap compared to the others. The worker behind the bar, behind the kitchen and basically working hard everywhere was the absolute best and was so lovely to us all and made it so much better. He also helped us get off the island and organised a sleeper bus to siem riep on our last day and also somehow organised our whole day there with a private tuktuk driver once we got into siem riep, Would recommend 🤞

Het mannetje van de receptie is heel lief, maar daar is dan ook alles mee gezegd. De kamers zijn bloedheet de airco doet het alleen in de nacht en verder vond ik het niet de fijnste plek om te zijn.

Really nice hostel! Beds were big and room had air con in the evening. The owners were lovely. Shower and toilet area was clean, as was the rest of the hostel. Hostel didn’t have any signal and wifi only worked in the bar area but wasn’t a problem. Short walk to the beach and right by nestival (but can’t hear the music)

Decent hostel right by the beach. Really friendly staff. Could’ve done with locks on the door and bug nets over the beds.

The owner/manager of the hostel was just amazing. I cut my foot badly and every night he wanted to help and made sure I was treated well and wrapped it up for me. Great service, and great location for nestival!

Pretty clean but probably the most poorly managed hostel I’ve been to. They didn’t know who was in which room/bed, kept tabs on a piece of paper. Changed my bedding for a new arrival despite me having another night, which meant they binned the belongings on my bed. They never owned up to it or did anything to make amends, including no offer of refund. They also made people move rooms mid stay to accommodate a larger group of people.

Was like being cooked alive in a tin shed because some German girls left the air con on 31 degrees and hid the remote.

Beds were very comfortable, good curtains. The rooms were also very cold which was nice! Food was amazing and at a reasonable price. Very polite staff, just no running hot water.

The rooms are very poorly lit, doors don’t lock, there’s only 3 bathrooms and 2 sinks for the entire hostel, and it’s extremely low quality for the price they’re charging. I would never stay here again. There’s way better hostels on the island for the same price. The best thing about this hostel though was the staff, especially Set. He was very helpful and kind all the time and truly cares for the guests. Other than that the facilities are very bad.
