Home away from home.

My stay was great! Staff made the stay even more enjoyable with entertainment and a quiz to bring everyone together. The entertainment host Mia was terrific in doing so. Thankyou for the stay and look forward to returning again.

Decent hostel. Kitchen was small, narrow, and dirty but still useable. Staff were nice. They have a restaurant on site that made a good veggie burger.

8/10 Very good

It's a party hostel, which is all good! just make sure you expect a lot of mess and a lot of noise, but you get what you pay for, its the cheapest hostel in surfers! and does have good hang out spaces but again there will always be people drinking and being rowdy.

It’s what you get for the price, I guess. You can’t control your guests.

2/10 Poor

Worst Hostel. Water was leaking from Sealing and sinks are so small that you won't be able to wash your face or hands. All the Dust all over the room no cleanness. Congusted beds and No AC. I won't recommend to any one.
4-night trip

6/10 Good

Whilst this was convenient for my purposes, in that I was only there for a limited time, I did find it frustrating that the designated smoking area was between the main entry and reception area, meaning there was no option but to walk through it. Having said that, the designated non-smoking area was full of smokers as well. Also, no control over "quiet" time after midnight. Loud partying still going on until 2-3am on all 3 nights I was there. If you are a partying smoker, perfect for you :)

4/10 Fair

Etat déplorable de la sdb, douche affreusement sale impossible d'y aller a pieds nus !
Sylviane, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

In overall I was happy with my stay. It's close to the beach, shops etc. I haven't given 5 stars just because where I was staying it was super noisy. I had a room on my own facing towards the cafe/reception area so it felt like I was hearing everything. Also the walkway outside my window had a sensor light on which was a bit uncomfortable when it was going on and off quite a bit. I was able to leave my bag for a bit after checking out which was super handy. There are upkeep works going which is great to see. No need to pay for a shuttle, the public transport works great. Look it up ;-)

2/10 Poor

Two words: BED BUGS. BED BUGS. BED BUGS. BED BUGS!!!!!!!! BED BUGS!!!!!!! BED BUGS!!!!!!! BED BUGS!!!!! BED BUGS!!!!!!!!!!!! This property is well aware they have bed bugs yet do nothing to fix the problem. I woke up at 4am with acute itching (then could no longer sleep!) 48hours later I am still itching, with large red inflamed patches all over my body which will leave scars and a hugely swollen finger that is weeping at the bite mark and likely infected, meaning I am limited in the use of my hand and may have to see a doctor. Avoid this place if you value your health and safety. They also are offering a 'competition' incentive if you leave them a review, therefore I would not trust any favourable reviews.

The lady at reception was lovely, but by far the most dank unhygienic and dirty place ive ever stayed at. Sheets were stained, was hairs in the bed, a dirty sock at the bed head. Was minging for the price to. Shower was so flipping gross. N pretty sure there were bed bugs.

Markus, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

The location is amazing, a short walk to the beach and main clubs. Majority of the staff were exceptional however there was one point where we were in our room ill and a cleaner came into our room ‘to clean’ and wouldn’t leave for a solid 5 minutes of us asking. The cleanliness of our room was also questionable with stains and dirt all over the floor but the overall atmosphere is really friendly
