Friends & Hostels

Top.

I wouldn't recommend this place. It was awful, poorly maintained, and not clean. The booking information was very incomplete, and the attractive photos made it look like a family home, which it isn't.

I think these reviews may be made up. I just got back from a training trip to BH, and this was my experience at the guesthouse: a real mess. The bathroom at the back where I stayed was crawling with cockroaches, and the shower was broken for the entire week. The service was unprepared. I paid for an extra day because check-in there is at 11, but when I arrived, the unprepared guy told me I could only enter at 11, even though I'd already paid from the day before. The front area was clean, but even the water dispenser wasn't working. There was hot water at the dispenser and cold water in the bathroom. My room smelled of mold. The woman serving us had such an angry look, I thought maybe she was on her period. The guy who handles questions takes forever to reply, with his face buried in his phone. I handed in the key yesterday, and today the owner messaged me saying I had to renew or leave the room because he couldn't extend my stay. In short, he's unprepared and doesn't even know what's going on at his own place.

I enjoyed spending the night there, though the bed and the place itself are basic. Just remember it's a hostel, and that's what you're paying for. The main thing that could be better is the number of bathrooms, four in total. If shared accommodation doesn't bother you and you know what hostel life is like, you'll be fine. They don't provide towels or blankets for free, so bring your own or rent them separately. I'd bring a pillow too if, like me, you prefer your own.
