Reviewer Type: Solo Traveller

Travel Purpose: business

Positive: Nice owner, if a little tight. Location is $2-$3 taxi ride from town. You will probably have to go to town every day so factor this in. Some experienced difficulty locating the place. Google rejected my attempt to add it to Google Maps (without explanation). The large single dorm upstairs has many steel bunks with curtains, one central charging outlet strip for all bunks and limited central lighting. Downstairs is a sizeable common area with 2 toilets and functional kitchen. Bucket showers are 2 tents out in the back yard, or you can use the kiddie pool. Towel costs extra. Some sports gear is available fo free.

Negative: The owner drives a Porsche but hasn't spent a few bucks on simple facilities like power outlets in the common area downstairs, or a plumbed-in shower... even an outdoor one near the washing machine would be an improvement.

Summary: Rustic is being kind
