For this price, it’s totally worth it, rooms are small but totally functional. Balcony is spacious and got space to hand your wetsuits. And we even had a sea view. It’s a good value. Will definitely come back!

It is better to live in the town than in the suburbs. The B&B in the suburbs is far away and you need to take a taxi. There are flying ants at night, and the calls of many animals in nature will be very noisy when sleeping at night. It is very quiet here in the town, not far from KFC, the streets outside are very clean, and even the public toilets inside are clean. There are more foreigners from Europe and America living here, mainly because it is not expensive! The front desk can't speak Chinese, but they can communicate in simple English. The disadvantage is that the room is small and has no window. It clearly says that there is a window on the room I booked, but they said that the platform wrote it wrong, so they could only give me this one. It doesn't matter, the stay is okay later. The first floor of the second floor is where you eat breakfast, which is also very clean. Two people clean it every day! If next time, I will choose here again!

This was our first time staying at a hostel, and it truly exceeded my friends' and my expectations. It was incredibly clean and hygienic. As we were a group of four, we were directly assigned a quadruple room, which felt just like being back in our college dorm days. The owner and staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming; we could truly feel their kindness and warmth. The location was also very convenient, being close to the pier, Gaya Street, and shopping malls. Overall, it was a truly memorable and unique stay!

The bed linen is clean, the hostel itself is clean, the staff is friendly. There is not enough space in the common areas and it would be good to add another shelf and hangers near the beds.
