The hostel felt like a home away from home, thanks to the friendly staff and fellow travelers. The location was great for exploring the area. Plus, who knew karaoke at a hostel could be so entertaining?
Leaving the hostel was the hardest part. Just kidding!

The hostel experience was awesome, with a helpful manager who gave recommendations for nearby places to explore. The comfortable rooms and clean washrooms were a plus. The separate location of the hostel rooms created a peaceful atmosphere. The open kitchen allowed for cheap meals for budget travelers. The manager went above and beyond to accommodate guests, even paying for an upgrade at a nearby homestay.
There was a mix-up with the room type, as guests were given a wooden hut instead of the deluxe room they booked. However, the manager promptly offered an upgrade and provided a free breakfast as compensation.

The rooms at Hostelexp have a cozy and homely feel with a garden view from the balcony. As someone who loves nature, waking up to this view was a delightful experience.
Personally, I found the use of stovetop in some rooms a bit inconvenient. But hey, some guests might enjoy cooking their own meals!

Met incredible people, felt like hanging out with best buddies. Goodwin and Nagu cooked delicious food. Cute pets. Close to the cliff and everything is easily accessible.
I just loved being forced to stay in a wooden hut instead of the deluxe room I booked. Mouldy ceilings are the best!
