Amazing hostel! The owners are so lovely!! Very accommodating. The rooms are very nice, very spacious and has lockers to put your things in. The beds are very comfortable and the sheets get changed everyday. Only like 5min walk away from the market, dive shops and bars.

Loved this place. Amazing price for a spacious bamboo hut, well located in the middle of the island. But Joy and Rebecca were the ones who made it a great stay. They were super friendly and incredibly helpful. Had to extend a day since a storm cancelled the ferries and they were super gracious and helpful. Glad I could stay another night, honestly!

The prices are very fair and if you wanna do some diving the lovely staff might help you get a discount 😉 Make sure you check in before 9pm though as it's not 24 hour check in, as is the case with most hostels on this island. Water fountain available for refilling your bo…
I really loved my stay here. The beds are comfortable and the dorms have AC and fan. I only used the shower and toilet outside and they were always clean. The shower has hot water too. The location is perfect - only a few minutes walk to the port, and a quick stroll to the markets. Still, it is quiet! The staff, Joy and Rebecca, are really thoughtful and hospitable. I mainly extended my stay to 8 nights because of t…
