Excellent! :-)”

Everything was far from what I’d expected. Spent time vibing with two cats in the garden more than in the room, actually. I’d recommend you stay in a bungalow and you’ll get a whole new experience. It was a bit dusty on the ceiling but trust me there would be nothing bothering you at all. The toilets and bathrooms are adequate and cleaner than I thought. Staff are very nice and helpful. The place feels like home and I’d probably rate 19/10 if I ever could. Would come back again!💖

The bathroom I used, upstairs, could definitely be nicer. There are other bathrooms/showers outside but I was only there for one night so didn’t try them out. Otherwise it was a nice place with very friendly staff. There was definitely a hippie vibe when I was there, but it was cool.

Great Value”

This was a great budget Hostel. I stayed in one of the bungalows which was fun to switch it up. Mosquito net was provided, so bugs weren’t bad while sleeping even though it was buggy near the river. The hostel itself was pretty basic with coffee/tea and kitchen available all for a fee. They were helpful to book transportation/tours and also allowed an early check in and storage of belongings/use of facilities after check out, but had a bit of difficulty understanding my English at times. Overall good budget Hostel.

Relaxing Place”

I didn't have a sleep there, I just dropped my luggage there since it's too heavy for a whole day trip. But I have a chance to stopping by and relaxing about 1-2 hours. Feeling relaxing just sitting at the kiosk next to the pond. If you are a solo traveler this is a recommended place since most of them are solo too.
