We are big fans of this Hostel. The employees were so nice, we consider them real friends! It is centrally located and close to the market where you can eat cheap and good seafood. Next time we visit we definitely come back. Thanks for all the fun!! Tip: book the rafting trip, you won't...

When we did get there we checked the mattress and found patches of blood all over the battered mattress. We were moved but the hostel itself has a nice communal area but the sleeping area is like a south american prison, with very thin walls and frosted windows looking out to the corridor which has people talking and slamming doors until everyone is asleep. I have stayed in worse places but not in the developed world!close

Overall a very ideal place. But booking could be a lot easier if done directly to the hostel is allowed. Also. while check-in has been declined, I should think refund of the booking is only fair. I refer to the the booking made by Leong Choon Siong through me for 23rd,24th and 25th Feb 2007.

This has been by far the best place I have stayed on my travels. The perfect place to relax after climbing that mountain!! The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. A home away from home! Thanks for everything!
