"Ett fantastiskt hostel där man mötte massa vänner, min säng var full med mörka långa hårstrån tyvärr så jag vet inte hur städat det var.. lite äckligt med det funkade. Och gäster/personal snodde även på hotellet, glömde väskan utanför mitt rum i någon timme och när jag märkte det var alla mina pengar borta. Mindre bra. "

"Péssima. Me colocaram em um quarto sem janelas, sem ar condicionado, sem ventilador, sem qualquer ventilação, com cheiro de mofo muito forte e baratas. Pingou água do teto no chão, ao lado da cama. Paguei 03 noites e só consegui ficar 01, com muito esforço. Acho que foi a pior experiência em hostel já reservada por aqui "
