Island Backpackers

Excellent, very satisfied! The environment is great with spacious rooms, and the service attitude is exceptional. It's not far from dining spots in town, although the immediate surroundings aren't the best. The front desk staff were very helpful.

After an exhausting island hopping tour, don't even think about a decent shower here. The water pressure is so incredibly low it's infuriating; you'll spend ages just waiting for it to rinse off, and it's like this in all the bathrooms. As for the rooms, the door lock was broken and just fell off, and the pillowcases and duvet covers were of questionable hygiene. They play word games with the room types; all other single rooms clearly state shared bathrooms, but the double room description cleverly omits this, burying it in the fine print, just waiting to stab you in the back. I could tolerate all the previous issues, but the service was the most infuriating. Before booking, I repeatedly confirmed they had lockers for backpacks. Yet, on the day of my excursion, I was told the lockers had no keys, leaving me completely stranded and frustrated.

Excellent! Even after checking out, I was able to relax and even take a shower. I could also nap on the sofas in the lobby. The staff there were all very good.

Overall, quite satisfied. The room cleanliness could be a tiny bit better, but for this price, and with breakfast included, what more could you ask for?

The environment here is just average, barely acceptable for a hostel. The breakfast was terrible; no coffee, no tea, only plain hot water.
