The owner Kitima is a lovely lady. She was so helpful and friendly. She organised my return taxi to the airport and helped me organise my speedboat. I cant praise her enough. She was so kind. I'm a 62 yr young lady travelling on my own and she made me feel safe and comfortable. I'd definitely stay there again

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Good staff, especially front office and housekeeping. Great location. Excellent private beach although pebbly. But a good sandy beach just a couple of minutes. Comfortable chalets near the private beach. Enjoyed our stay here. Thanks to the staff

    The room was really big which was great, the bathroom was lovely. The free moped was such a great asset, we used it everyday of our stay! The host was lovely and informative. Great location, is just behind the main street and only a few minute walk from the main beach

    For the price, this is a very good place. If you expect 5 star rooms or service, then you will be disappointed. There is a bar around the corner, and a short walk down to the amazing beach below. I rented a scoter to explore the island and other beaches. This is cheap, 300-400 bath depending on where you rent. There are taxis waiting at the pier when you arrive to the island that can take you to the hotel unless you do what I did, I rented a scoter as I came of the ferry. Breakfast isn't amazing, but perfectly adequate for the price.

    The host was really nice and helpful. He does everything so that you have a nice stay. The hostel is small, so it’s easy to connect with other backpackers, even though on the island are more couples and family’s. I had a really nice time and would always come back. It’s nice that you have some private space in the cabins.

    I loved the location and beautiful setting. As a solo female traveller I felt safe. The room although called budget was anything but - it was clean, cosy and comfortable. The staff was super friendly and the food was excellent.

    This is a little gem of a hostile. Definitely a wonderful low budget hostel with warm and friendly vibe. Comfortable sleeping pods that give you a privet space in a mixed dorm. Wonderful hosts Goth and Holly were always helpful and great to hang out with. Thanks for the advice on places to snorkel and lending me your snorkels. Also bamboo is a charming little dog. I can't wait to visit again 😁
