7.8 out of 10, Good, (17 reviews)
"For a hostel it is a good choice, although we were there during off season and it was incredibly noisy. I can only imagine it during peak season. The reception staff were friendly and helpful but the cleaners and security guy were noisy at all hours. The onsite restaurant was awful, we had one meal and never ate there again. Thankfully the hostel is in a perfect location, on the most beautiful beach with lots of nice places to eat and drink nearby."

10/10 Excellent
"The shower was very weak pressure and roosters woke us up through the night and every morning. Beyond that, everything was excellent. Great staff. Valuable shuttle to town, beach, and airport."
