Ratings and reviews
7.2 / 10.0Good·Apr 2026
I had a very disappointing experience at Blue Eagle Backpackers.
First of all, the quality does not match the price at all. Paying ### for a stay with flat, uncomfortable pillows is honestly unacceptable. Basic comfort should be the minimum.
The biggest issue, however, is their booking system and management. I made a booking through Agoda, my payment went through successfully, and the room was clearly available at the time of booking. Yet upon arrival, I was told the place was fully booked and was essentially turned away. This is completely unprofessional.
There is clearly a serious lack of communication and coordination on their side. What makes it worse is the complete lack of accountability, no proper explanation, no solution, no effort to assist. Just poor client service all around.
This place is poorly managed, disorganized, and frustrating to deal with. I would not recommend it to anyone. They seriously need to improve their systems, communication, and overall service standards.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Mar 2026

I would recommend This place it is quiet. Clean. Central and the staff are very polite and always willing to help
6.4 / 10.0Average·May 2025
The rooms were quite neat and clean but the kitchen had cockroaches everywhere. The fact that the showers and toilets are outside at the back is quite inconvenient especially when having to run to the toilet in the middle of the night. Wifi was very weak and slow and there was not even a lot of guests that could cause a potential overflow on the wifi network. The staff was helpful but not really friendly and welcoming.
