Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    I stayed in Dolphins Backpackers for four nights. I must say the hostel is worth the money you pay. It is a cozy little place with all the amenities. Though it is just next to the shops and cafes of the village but it feels like a nest in itself, quiet and chill. John is very friendly and nice. But I liked Grandad the most. So cool and chill!!

    This was one of the best hostels I ever stayed in. John, Rosie, and everyone else were friendly, happy to help, and answer any questions. The place's vibe was really cool, other backpackers were also fantastic.

    The staff were so incredibly friendly and considerate. It is such a nice hostel with a good family-style vibe. It's in a great location, too; right in the center of the village.

    It was great, the landlord was very welcoming and shared a lot of nearby hiking trails with me. The best landlord I have ever stayed with in a youth hostel? It left me with very good memories of my trip.

    Really friendly couple who own it. They were very helpful with recommendations. Were made to feel comfortable and at home. Great facilities. Powerful shower. Beds were comfy. It was quiet at night so you could sleep. Perfect location. Other guests were of all ages. I'm in my 30s so I didn't want a group of young loud teenagers so this was perfect. Best hostel I've been in
