    The shoe wardrobe smells very bad, they should think about an other solution for storing the shoes

    Very clean, very comfy

    Top bunk doesn’t get much ventilation and is a little warm but overall it’s ok

    Nice hostel with decent amenities. Free water and coffee so that’s a bonus! Right on the waterfront and markets around.

    The walls are VERY thin so even in a private room I could hear literally everything from my neighbours (which would be fine if they didn’t stay up late talking loudly but is not the fault of the hostel)

    Great location, close to everything, friendly staff, comfortable beds

    The shower facilities was a little meh, had to aim for that one shower cause the other one had slow or no water at all.

    Love that it was in walking distance to several seafood restaurants.

    Only downside was that all the bathrooms seemed to get cleaned at the same time so was unfortunate if you needed to use one at that point.

    Our stay was brilliant from start to finish! The staff went above and beyond, helping us find the right car park and even carrying our bags (despite our protests!) They gave us amazing recommendations for activities and trips and were always willing to help answer any questions we had. The rooms were lovely and clean with great air con. The bathrooms were always spotless, as were the communal areas. The included breakfast was great and very flexible with access at all times and a great view of the local islands. Overall a 10/10 and we were very sad to be moving on!

    Nothing to complain about. It was a great stay!

    The location was great. Very close to the Filipino market, Gaya street and right across from the waterfront (great view from the lounge). Really easy to walk around. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean and comfortable and the hostel itself was not noisy at all. They also served a simple breakfast all day which was nice if you wanted a snack or a cup of tea.

    My husband and I loved this hostel and stayed twice while we travelled around Borneo. The staff were extremely friendly, helpful and generous, and the place felt so comfortable, that we just enjoyed hanging out there. Everything was clean and spotless too. The location and the sea view was also fantastic!

    The only minor thing is the smell in the room. It smelled humid and of strong chemicals.

    Everything was perfect. I got upgraded to a double dorm bed with Seaview. It was very comfortable. The dorm also had AC. The view from the bed and living room was gorgeous! The main chill area is super comfy as well. All-day breakfast is a nice addition. Free drinking water and towels are provided. They had enough showers and toilets in separate cubicles. The location was in the city centre. Lots of information on tours and activities. In the evening, a lot of people came together to watch movies or chat. Spacious lockers in the dorms.
