Balu Hostel

The bed was very comfortable in the private room.

No running water on December 29, 2019 night and morning Dec. 30, 2019.

The people who run the hostel were very friendly, but I was unimpressed with the state of the place - the pool was very dirty, I didn’t see a single person go in it and was too scared to myself. I booked 2 nights but they made me switch rooms in between because they thought it was a different person despite having the same first and last name for both reservations...and the water wasn’t working at all for the second day with no offers of bottled water or a discount for not being able to shower or wash my hands. I understand these things happen but it would have been nice to have so bottled water be offered for the inconvenience. People did not respect the quiet time hours and on Wednesday and Thursday nights, it was extremely loud until about 2 am. Additionally, the included breakfast was pretty iffy, dishes were really dirty, and I was very happy to leave! It’s a good place if you are on a tight budget and don’t mind a bit of discomfort, but I personally wouldn’t stay there again.

The staff was nice. It should be considered that it's a BAR hostel, so there's VERY loud music until midnight.

It was great, loved the people atmosphere, rooftop , beds where new and comfortable,hot showers , pool was cold this time of year though still nice ambiance location and more

Very loud until late at night. We travelled with our kids and the private room is right next to the pool/eating area. Starting at 8am there is loud music in this area so you can’t even rest. The place also charges extra if you pay by credit card which is not specified on the booking page. Very deceitful. Would definitely not recommend!

The room was too cold at night with the air conditioning and the single thin sheet was not a sufficiently warm blanket. The toilet didn't flush because the cistern filled up extremely slow or not at all. We had to fill up a bucket with water to fill the cistern. Some of the staff were not so friendly. Pros: it was fairly clean for a hostel and it was reasonably close to the main shops. Overall was not great and I wouldn't stay there again. With some small improvements it might be a good place to stay.

I really enjoyed my stay here. Really good customer service: after a hiccup of being put in a non- air conditioned dorm when I ordered an air-conditioned one, I was upgraded to a private room! I met some really fun people with activities in the hostel (and noise) til late at night. Emir who works there is the soul of the hostel and knows all the best places nearby. Pretty good breakfast for a hostel with fresh fruit

Loud (good) music was on throughout the day till about 11 pm. After that, loud talking till 2 am or later. Many people were smoking, it was not a good place for a family. However, the place was new and clean, beds were comfortable, staffs and people were very friendly.

선착장이랑 가깝고, 저녁엔 음악과 함께하는 호스텔이에요.
