Location: Many reviews highlight a great location, such as being near the beach where island tours start, making it easy to explore the area. The hostel is also within the town proper.(based on 5 reviews)

You have to go with soap and shampoo. They didn’t provide any soap or shapoo. Location and behaviour was nice.

Lovely staff, very sociable hostel with events on every evening. Showers are excellent - lovely to have warm water. Rooms do not lock - this seems to be the norm here but it surprised me and did leave me feeling unsafe the first few nights as anyone can walk in. Need to pay to rent a blanket, only a sheet on the bed, but the aircon in the rooms is really high and doesn’t seem controllable by guests - I slept with a jumper on most nights. Temperature outside of the rooms was much more pleasant.

The hosts are the friendliest people alive. They were so kind and helpful so I felt so comfortable. The room was great and big. It has an air conditioner and a small fan inside your box. Your capsule has a curtain made of wood and it was so cool. They provide a small breakfast since 7.30 am. It usually bananas, buns and peanut butter. On the first floor they have a cafe and you get a 15% discount if you're a guest of a hostel.

Good service by the Philippine staff, everything was good but this Hostel is owned By Israel people, and after what they are doing to Palestine, I don't want to stay there anymore.

So kind staff and helpful staff. Also a great location if you aim to primarily do tours. The beach where island tours start is just a minute walk away and after they set sail you have the whole beach to use when you want a relaxed day!
