Waiwas Hostel

Liked everything, great location and friendly staff, great pool and bar where you can get drinks and coffee, even I borrowed money from receptionist to give to my grab driver on first day, nice of them

Shared dinner Tuesday-Sunday was a great way to meet people. Yoga was super nice and they have a mini gym too. The dorm was surprisingly super quiet for so many people. Shared area outside was good with lots of seats.

No filtered drinking water is included, which sucks when you’re trying to reduce single use plastic waste. Usually surfing + yoga = some environmental consciousness or consideration. Theres no way to make oatmeal etc in the morning either.

aThe atmosphere, the hospitality of the staff and has a spot to exercise and relax

Nothing

Nice and social with free dinner almost every night. Great place to meet other travelers. They rent scooters for very cheap. There are security guards at the entrance at all times and they are very nice and helpful.

The capsules smell like mold, there is a real cleanliness problem in this hostel. In the 4 days I was there, the bathrooms were not cleaned once. Some of the bathrooms doors don’t close fully, others make you struggle to open them. The staff comes into the room in the morning and talk loudly. The AC is turned off at 10 which makes the room boiling hot, and to make it even worse they leave to room doors open. I had asked for a bottom bed which was not available on my first night, so in the morning they OPENED MY CURTAIN to tell me i could switch beds. It was very nice of them to offer that new bed, but you can’t open someone’s curtain, that’s the only privacy we have in a dorm.
