    Everything was amazing here - amicable staff and tastefully decorated rooms. The location in an extra comfy area was perfect and there were supermarkets and little stores nearby. The property was very close to Balgue downtown.

    Great location near the lake and hiking trails. Friendly and helpful owner. Good food options nearby.

    Limited facilities with only one toilet and two showers to share. Bugs were a problem and would have preferred a mosquito net.

    Great location near restaurants and supermarkets. Renting transportation is a must but convenient at $30 a day. Helpful staff, spacious kitchen, and comfortable bedrooms with fans. Beautiful artwork and open spaces create a relaxing atmosphere.

    Had a fantastic time at a hostel called the Lazy Crab. Ryder, the host, was incredibly friendly and helped me with bike rental and a wonderful horse riding trip. the atmosphere was lovely, with colorful music-related artwork that made me feel happy. the location in the village had a rural feel and was convenient with a local bus route and plenty of great dining options nearby.

    A highly recommended experience. Cons: No complaints.
