Rooms are a bit shabby, as one expects from a hostel, but the staff goes above and beyond. Facilities are great, with travel and trekking assistance provided. Plus the prepared is far better than anything one typically gets from a hostel. Bit of a walk across unlit dirt roads from the main center, coming back is all uphill, but otherwise a great place to stay!

Great location, knowledgeable staff, comfy beds and good public space. Extras - laundry service, taxi and travel bookings make this a good spot. Basic breakfast included but can add eggs for a cheap fee. Would recommend this spot. We are older travelers and enjoy the younger vibe.

The hostel offers an amazing view of the lake and has a nice and cozy atmosphere in the main room. The private rooms were okay, nothing fancy, nothing bad. Breakfast was quite bad though. All in all decent hostel quality but the price is far too high for what you get. Also we overheard the room next door had bed bugs and the hostel just offered our neighbours a room switch, which is how bed bugs spread. Also they urged them not to tell other guests, which is not very sympathetic.

Very well maintained and great location. Even though this is on the hill little outside of main area but short walking distance and nice separation to be quiet. Facility is very clean and they offer laundry service which was great. Also this hostel offer airport transportation and other fun tours cheaper than many of local tour companies, so you should reach out before taking taxi from the airport or booking online.
