Gezellig, kleurrijk, relaxt en iets te warm

7.0

De ligging, hoe het hostel gemaakt was met alle mooie muurschilderingen. De leuke hangplekjes

Ze zijn er druk mee bezig on airco voor elkaar te krijgen en ze zijn ook bezig met het zwembad. Het zwembad is een leuke bijkomst maar de airco is wel een must. Het was zo benauwd op onze kamer dat wij 2 nachten eerder zijn vertrokken. Erg jammer want de plek was prachtig en de host was een leuke man!

De host is super aardig en hielp ons met alles, last minute taxi en vulkaan hike konden allemaal geregeld worden. Het ontbijt is ook super. Onze kamer was groot en de bedden liggen heel lekker.

Good stay, despite loud guests

7.0

Hanibal helped me check in. Kind man, and making sure the guests are helped. VEry good information about the ferry, the bus schedule, etc. Good prices for scooter rentals. Breakfast is included, although it wasn't very much for a hike of multiple hours, but it gets you started. Kitchen is available for guests to prepare meals. Water is potable.

The hostel is pretty dark. There are windows in the room, but they lead to the patio inside, which prevents much light from coming in. Even with the light on, it still feels dark. The bathroom connected to the room is the same. I was the only one that night, but I'm sure it's a little damp with a lot of people. Besides, a group of around 15 Isrealis were in the hostel. Quiet time is from 22 pm to 07 am. They didn't respect that and kept drinking, shouting and slamming doors until 00:30, after that they left to go out to party. I asked them twice to be mindful about the noise, but they didn't care about that. Hanibal was also losing his patience with them, but remained calm and friendly. I would not know how to resolve the issue. It's more due to the Isrealis than the hostel, but it didn't seem the hostel could enforce their own rules. The main problem is that the room (monkey) which is the main dormitory is next to the common area, which might lead to a lot of noise with a big group.

Nice hostel with good location near the lake. Comfortable beds, clean facilities, cool rooftop and tasty breakfast. Staff were friendly and helpful. Big bonus for ability to rent bikes from hostel.

Friendly vibes

8.0

Good vibe! Staff are very friendly and helpful, loads of common areas to hang out and has a pool table. Great free breakfast each morning, also offer reasonable scooter rentals and tours. Plenty of showers and toilets. Free water, straight from a local spring, tasted good!

Kitchen was pretty gross and not super well equipped. Lots of food rotting in the fridge etc. if you’re not cooking not an issue!
