Great location and vibe. The food is delicious and my room had a great view. Loved the activities and entertainment. The hot water wasn’t working during my stay but I later found out it’s possible the petrol for the heater simply needed replacement and the staff can do that. I’d stay here again in a heart beat.

This was my first time staying at a hostel, so this review is from that perspective. I arrived around 8pm due to my flight, which I had communicated in advance. While the person who checked me in was friendly, the process felt disorganized and like they weren’t really prepared for my arrival. I also couldn’t get dinner because they only cook for guests who sign up by 3pm, which I didn’t know and couldn’t do while traveling. The hostel isn’t very service-oriented, and after talking with other guests, it seems this is largely because the staff are volunteers. A lot of basic information was vague or hard to get. I stayed in a private room, and it was clearly not cleaned prior to my arrival. The floors looked like they hadn’t been swept or mopped in a long time, and the sheets smelled like they hadn’t been changed between guests. I had to ask twice for them to be replaced. The bathrooms also didn’t seem to be cleaned daily, despite multiple people using them. Towels and mats were changed, but that was about it, no disinfectant or proper cleaning seemed to happen. There’s also no space to put toiletries while showering or getting ready. The mattress was very hard and felt old. The reusable cups by the water dispenser smelled bad and didn’t seem properly cleaned, which was off-putting. You might enjoy this place if you’re not too concerned about service or cleanliness. The one real highlight is the location. It’s beautiful, and the views are genuinely stunning.

Excellent vibe with really friendly staff. The travelers passing through were nice to know - altho briefly.
