Hotel reviews
TravellerTravellerI stayed at Backpackers before this is not backpacker anymore. Price of beer is $4 cocktail $8. Not eco anymore they have English toilets. Price of room is higher than nearby B&B. Everyone who was staying was complaining about the prices. This place used to be really nice and affordable and staff were friendly. Even new staff don’t seem to like working there. WiFi didn’t work at all so I couldn’t work.
TravellerLoved the Bandas, with the open showers and composting toilets. Friendly staff and good location.
TravellerFantastisk!
Utrolig flott «hostel» Dette lå 5 minutter fra en fin Strand, har utrolig godt basseng. Mat og drikke er ganske dyrt, men veldig godt. Å bo her Anbefales. Føltes mer som et resort enn et hostel.
TravellerNice place. I would come there next time again. Nice people there. Nice landscape.
