    No doors, only curtains for toilets and shower areas.

    Love the location. Everything ia nearby. Food, mini mart, spa, beach, cenang mall. Locker to keep your personal belongings. Nadia always make sure the cleanliness of the hostel. You can even ask her to assist for scooter rental.

    There are just shower curtains in front of toilets and showers, which sometimes blow open in the wind. Also in the room is not much privacy with beds standing very close and no curtains. Moreover, the beds are not the best since you feel every single movement of the person above or below you. It is very warm at night because there is only one aircon for the whole big room. The additional fan doesn’t help too much.

    Just 5 mins walk to the beach and the main road but super quiet. Really cool style and decorations. Nice outside area. Hosts was always easy to reach on whatsapp.

    The beds where not comfy and really squeaky. Also the aircon wasn't strong enough. It Would be good to fix the curtains for the bathroom and shower (maybe with velcro)

    Nadia, the host, was really, really nice and helpful. She is a great host. The atmosphere at this hostel is also great, Super chilled. It feels like a school Trip as there is only one room. I would definitly recommend! It was really clean and had a Nice Common area.

    Excellent location in the centre, just five minutes walk to the Cenang beach. Lots of shops and restaurants nearby. The room is nice and clean, and the beds were surprisingly comfortable. Wifi is available. The bathrooms are shared, beautiful, and clean. I enjoyed my staying very much, felt like a home, and would be happy to come back. Ms. Nadia is very friendly and nice. Tour services are available here.

    If I'm being really picky, the stairs to the dorm can be slippy when it's rained and the shower curtains sometimes blow open when it's windy. These were not major issues though and Nadia has said she is implementing a solution for the stairs :)

    Nadia is so friendly and helpful. She creates such a warm atmosphere in the hostel, it feels like a family away from home. She ensures that everyone is invited to local events so that you can have a proper Malaysian experience and organises great tours. The hostel is super clean even though lots of friendly cats hang around here (which I loved being able to pet them) and you can tell a lot of thought has gone into the small details of the running of the hostel. I didn't rent a scooter but it's possible to do so here. It's really close to lots of great restaurants, bars and attractions. I loved staying here and 100% recommend it :)

    Maybe a little stove for people who like to cook themselves :)

    I spent 6 nights at the hostel. Nadia is such a lovely person and host, she took us girls out on different activities such as a wedding, we celebrated Independence Day, went to the beach and had dinner and barbecue. The vibe at the hostel was very chill and homely. There was some breakfast (toast&jam) but also a fridge for own food. You could use the yoga mats as you liked. I look forward some hammocks to swing in if I come back ;)

    I hope the stairs is not that slippery when it rains.

    I like the environment of the hostel and what most important is the warm welcome by the hostel owner, Ms Nadia.I had to check in early and she made my stay comfortable and memorable.The second night I was there,they invited me and the other travellers for a bbq and chilling out session.I felt welcomed.I would come again if I ever go to Langkawi and stay at the same hostel.

    Staying at Bunga Hostel is an experience in itself. As you might feel no need to leave from there, although the beach is so near :). The hosts, Nadia & Freddie are amazing, very attentive and passionate about their work and the island. What you can find here... ...a place that is in the middle of everything, but still quiet ...squicky clean toilets & comfortable beds ...local & inspiring breakfast 😀 ...the feeling of hanging out with your besties ...amazing sunrises & (no kidding) seeing the moon rainbow ...chance of discovering secret places in Langkawi ...and of course some Malay ghost stories, then this is THE PLACE!

    Amazing stay. This is the only female hostel in Langkawi that is owned and runned by a woman, the lovely Nadia! I was able to do early check in and late checkout. The bed was comfortable, the room was clean. Much cheaper to book things (mangrove, motorbikes, watersports, etc) through Nadiya than the hawkers on the beach. She helped us find amazing beaches, waterfalls, etc. The view from the room was beautiful, it is a guesthouse in nature truly! It has a very homey/nature-like feel. The cats are so cute too! This is a new place and Nadia has plans to add more details to it too. The showers have adjustable temperature so you can put it as you like. There is free drinking water and a little kitchen, snacks for breakfast, etc. Very centrally located to the beach, a very short walk to everything. I can't wait to return!
