"Amazing hostel with great social vibe. Friendly owner and staff. Organised bbq was great to help us meet other people and we had a really good night on that day. There aren’t really many restaurants nearby but you can take a 20-25 min walk or get a tuktuk, or the staff will order food to be delivered for you. "
