There was a free airport pick-up, which was very useful. It is a famous youth hostel in the local area, with many white people. The environment is good, but there is no WiFi in the room! You can only use the public WiFi near the front desk, and the speed is only a few kb... That's all, there are so many mosquitoes at night! If you don't drive them away for a second, your body will become a mosquito landing pad. I haven't slept in a mosquito net for many years...

Very cost-effective, with a bar for ordering food and a kitchen where you can cook. There is a supermarket within a five-minute walk, and there are many good restaurants within ten minutes. The post office is nearby, which is very convenient for sending postcards. There are also several nearby places where you want to exchange local currency, which you can compare. Music will be played at night, but the volume and time will be controlled. If you need to rest during a long trip, this hotel is a good choice.

If you are a backpacker, looking for both friendliness and comfort, in a pleasant setting, then go to Jollyboys! It was love at first sight for me! Jollys is a big family, where everyone offers you the best, so much so that it can be very difficult to leave... I recommend (and again, that's an understatement)

Where do we start, * Transfer from Airport to Jolly's and back was awesome approx 7 min drive, easy to find them, friendly smile and a delight to chat with. Aircon rooms: highly recommend - great, clean, quility bed and bedding. You get towels, bring your own personal items, hair dryer you can request. Pool, clean and tidy. Bring your own towels. Concierge: from day 1 they (6 months prior to arrival) assisted me with all the planning, details, links for our adventure. Kitchen: Outside company, they are suppose to open at 06:30, that did not happen, they seem to be always late. Made it very difficult to order, eat, and wisk off to our planned excursions. Pre-booking also did not secure them to be on time. All meals and friendly faces made up for the short fall. Pay kitchen daily, have cash local currency, with car it a extra 5%. Bar: Amazing service friendly staff, you can run a tab, pay up once a day, cash where possible, local currency. Taxi: We had a lovely older gentleman he name is Sam, o my word, he definitely made our stay, loving, caring, passionate about his country cheapest rates, always willing to assist us. Please do tip extra he was the absolute best.
