This place is miles ahead of the other nearby hostels in terms of facilities, cleanliness and customer service. It's just a 5min walk from the main street, secluded enough to get some peace and hear the nature, surrounded by picturesque hills 🌲 Stayed for 2 weeks and always had great quality sleep in the rooms. Firm mattresses and thick pillows, which is a rare find in a hostel! Rooms, bathrooms and common areas are always spotless, with staff working round the clock to ensure this. The fully air-conditioned lobby has a huge social space with a bar, TV, beanbags, ping pong. Perfect place to chill out and meet people. Love the nightly events held by the hostel (beer pong, trivia, movie nights, pizza, cheese and wine) its really a great way to meet like minded travellers. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff here, they're all extremely hospitable and make the vibe here what it is. :) For only being open for 3 months, this hostel is doing everything right. Can't wait to return as they plan to open a swimming pool!

This is my second time staying at a hostel. The atmosphere here is great—the owner is friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help. People often gather around one table for friendly conversations. Recommend this place.

While this backpackers place had a superb location, the kitchen's condition and cleanliness, as well as the absence of duvets and super squeaky bed frames, were points of concern. If you're planning to visit during winter, it's essential to be prepared for potential chilly nights. Despite these drawbacks, the friendly atmosphere and convenient location could still make it a reasonable choice for budget-conscious travellers.
