Great value for the money! I'm too old for this place and it's bit noisy. The walls aren't insulated. Great Staff. I highly recommend this to those under age 30 !

The property was beautiful. It looked better in person then in the pictures. Rooms were decent and the beds were very comfortable. The outside is very nice has about 4 hammocks and chairs outside all the rooms. Very nice mini bar with a cool pool.

When you book on this Hostel, you will ended up in Backpackers Hostel (sister hostel). I book for a double room and I got room 125 next to the bar, music was off by 10pm and light by 10:20pm but people still around that area playing pool/smoking/loud conversation which didn't end until 11pm, kinda of late if you want to get some rest after a long day.

They overbooked; we did not get the rooms we reserved; it was a horrible experience to spend a night with 6 people in the same room - totally ruined our vacation spirit, not mentioning if they would refund some of the cost.
