We highly recommend Jidjai hostel. The owners are very nice and kind and we felt at home! They are very enthusiastic and told us about places to visit around. Also, at night Leo played some music and we all had a great chat. The room was very clean and cosy. The toilet was very clean as well and it's provided with shower gel and shampoo. Breakfast was very nice, cause you get to make your own one. There is mototbike rental service which is very handy. The area where the hostel is located is very quiet and safe.
