    The most loveliest host. Honestly the best hostel we’ve stayed at since traveling around SE Asia! Our bus got cancelled twice on our way and Van was so accommodating she even pushed out our stay for us as well as tried to organise another bus through WhatsApp for us before we even checked in. I would highly recommend for your stay in Dalat. The BBQ at the hostel was a highlight and it’s a short walk to everything in the centre!

    Location, room and hostel are good. But the best thing about the hostel is the host. She is superfriendly, speaks good English and is just the best!

    There was onpy one shower and one toilet for 10 people in the room.

    Very comfortable bed, spacious room and very friendly staff - the friendliest during my 3-weeks traveling in Vietnam. You can rent a scooter, which is helpful for getting around. The also offer several options for breakfast and they helped me to book the bus to continue further on my trip. I definitely recommend the place - a super cute dog will also keep you company in the common area :)

    Dorms were clean and peaceful so easy to catch up on sleep, staff were so lovely and happy to help with any queries or just up for a chat! They also let me check in a bit early as had arrived on a night sleeper bus so was happy to get into bed early for a nap! Nice relaxed social vibe too and only a short walk from the centre of town. Glad I stayed here :)

    Can’t fault this place at all! Spotless, huge rooms and the loveliest owner! I got food poisoning (not from the hostel) and she took so much care of me, she was so sweet! I can’t thank her enough! Good breakfast and lovely lounge and rooftop areas!

    BBQ - very much appreciate the vegetarian and vegan options, however, *warning to vegans or those with allergies*: with the sign bup I wrote down my milk allergy and specified vegan. The host initially said I could eat the mash potatoes, and when I checked again she said the potatoes did have milk, but "only a little, so it's okay", and that she "fed someone with a milk allergy the granola that has a little milk and they were fine, so thought it would be okay". I get that there's a cultural context here with allergies being less prominent in Vietnam, but I encourage the host to take this more seriously! To those with restrictions, make sure you're triple checking at mealtime

    Impeccably run hostel! Would stay here again. Lovely and friendly host. Abundant information and facilitation for adventures, tours, transportation. Bunk bed rooms are quiet, spacious, sunny, and very clean. Bunks are sturdy, with no squeaking or movement. Beds and bedding were comfy. I appreciated the giant lockers under the bunks for big bags (though lock was not super effective) and the smaller lock box within the bunk (better lock) with light switch and outlet. Bathroom cleaned regularly. Nice communal areas for meals and opportunities to be social, but not a party vibe. Coffee (instant with milk and sugar), tea, and bananas free and always available. BBQ (~100k) offered every other night on the rooftop is a nice way to meet people, with loads of vegetarian/vegan options (though see warning below)

    Absolute gem of a hostel, it's a must-stay

    If I'm being incredibly picky, there was no aircon in our room - but honestly this wasn't a big issue as we had a powerful fan and the room didn't get that hot, so we were able to sleep absoluetly fine. The temperature in Dalat seemed to drop in the evening so opening the window did the trick!

    This is the best hostel my partner and I have stay in in Vietnam so far. All of the staff were lovely and helpful, all guests are provided with information and tips for your stay in Da Lat, including restaurant and self-guided tour suggestions. Mooka gave us the warmest welcome you could ask for. You can book tours directly with the hostel and all of the organisation and logistics are handled for you. Every other night there is a bbq on the rooftop which gives you a chance to meet other guests. The atmosphere is relaxed but friendly, and the hostel was so clean and comfortable. A no-brainer for accommodation in Dalat!

    - Big and clean rooms - Comfy beds with curtains and new bed sheets - Clean WC - Good location - Amazing terrace - BBQ parties - Hospitable owners - Delicious breakfasts Everything went so well, never had experience like that. It’s because owners work and live there and they care much about the reputation and guests. Had amazing time there, want to come back to Da Lat just to stay there again. See you Van!

    Mooka’s home truly felt like a home while staying here. The owners were super kind and helped with all sorts of questions we had during our stay in Da Lat. The lobby was such a nice place to hang out and have a nice cup of tea. There was a really nice and laid back atmosphere all round and the organized bbq by the owners was a lot of fun to get to know people. Furthermore, the place was nice and clean and well taken care of. Another plus was that the beds were really comfy!
