Great meeting new people from different parts of the world.

Kitchen and shower were really good.

Disappointing

Would not recommend

Clean bathrooms and toilets

Kitchen was very small and did not have enough supplies. Often had to wait for others to eat to get cutlery or a mug. AC in the bedroom can be much colder as the room was quite hot . Also, AC automatically turned off every couple of hours, making it very uncomfortable to sleep. Ladder leading up to the bunk bed was broken, moving with every step making it very uncomfortable. No AC in common areas making it very very hot

Good

Good for bare bones sleeep and shower but wouldnt want to stay for longer unless I needed cut expenses.

The staff is very welcoming and accommodating.

Its bare bones, messy and cluttered in the rooms. Electricity ports are scary and dont allow access for all bunkers.

Superb

Nice and well equipped kitchen; Spacious room with a small fridge, air con and fan; Good showers; Nice common room with books and tv, a bit too hot outside of the private room.

Too hot outside the room and once the kitchen is closed its not possible to make yourself a tea or so.
