What an amazing place! A wooden house 20 meters from the sea! The dorms are super nice, all the beds are in wood and super.comfortable. there.is in front of the sea a terrace.where.you can spend your time, watching the sea and sunset. Is just amazing. A tranquil.environment, few locals restaurants, where you can get food. The owner is super nice, friendly, welcoming and careful for every need you have. I felt super relaxed and quiet, and sometimes after you travel a lot, you just need to rest in a place like this. Absolutely recommend. One thing: is in a far away side of the.island, so to.rent a motorbike is needed!

Staff was absolutely amazing. They were so friendly and wanted to bring my creditcard when I forgot it. Really nice that you have a fridge and kitchen, i'm not used to that. Great that you can kayak and pool + view is amazing.

One of our favourite hostels during our 10 month trip. Anjar is an incredible host - he kindly greeted us at the pier and made us feel immediately welcome. The property overlooks a tropical garden with the most magical terrace. We spent our time watching the rain and enjoying nature whilst drinking a coffee, or morning yoga using their complimentary mats! It’s in a quieter area, immersed in nature… Anjar can have a scooter delivered to you on arrival if you want to explore the island. This place is truly magical and I wish we could return.

Everything, but mostly the kind owner who cares about everything at a high level of service. This is a very cheap accommodation, maybe the best you get for that price. I really can recommend it, 10+

EVERYTHING!!! Sam and his wife are amazing, we really felt like family. Also the community and the people in the hostel are just spectacular. We’d always come back 🥰 Pick up and drop off to the pier is also available for a cheap price.

This is one of the best hostels I have stayed at an Asia. It was beautiful. The rooms are so comfortable, there is a kitchen for you to use and a nice communal area. The staff are lovely and always willing to help. I have nothing to fault with this hostel. It is also in a great location.
