Summary of reviews

Guests say
The reviews reveal a strong divide: many guests were highly dissatisfied with the cleanliness, describing the hostel as dirty, poorly maintained, and sometimes unsafe, with issues like unclean bathrooms, kitchens, and common areas. However, several guests appreciated the hostel's convenient location, friendly and helpful staff, and the welcoming, sociable atmosphere. Some also found the price to be fair and the value good, especially for meeting people and its proximity to national parks. Overall, while cleanliness is a major concern, the hostel's location, staff, and atmosphere received positive remarks.
