I really recommend this hostel. I really enjoyed my stay there, met nice people and the owner and employees are the kindest people I‘ve ever met. The owner helped me out with every question I‘ve had and took good care of me. She even gave people driving lessons who’s never ride on a scooter before haha :D Because it’s a small hostel, it has a very cozy vibe!

staff and owner are very kind and accommodating, location is short walk to paliton beach (paid entrance but one of the most beautiful on island), their homemade pineapple jam each morning was delicious, very peaceful area. only 2 dorms/rooms in general so very small and tight knit place

I really wish I had a better experience here but think I just got unlucky. first, they were overbooked the first night I was there even tho I booked and paid in advance and I was made to go stay 10 mins (drive) down the road, away from all of my friends, in the backup hostel (it was nice but I was literally alone). bathrooms could use some upgrades (toilets didn’t flush much of the time, even a water bucket next to it might be nice for that). AC unit right next to our heads made a few of us sick from being really dried out at night. no outlets next to beds in rooms and wifi doesn’t reach the rooms well. lastly, I did laundry which I was told had a 24hr turnaround time but I came back more than 24hrs later to everything I own soaking wet still. I had to catch a ferry so was made to take all of my wet clothes as is. still had to pay for this even tho it meant I now had to wash my clothes again due to bad damp smell. I know it rained the night after I did laundry but I think there should be an undercover area for clothes, it be taken down at night, or just don’t accept laundry if you can’t guarantee 24hrs for dry (not sure what would happen in the rainy season if you needed to wash). was made to feel like it was my fault for choosing to do laundry there and not go somewhere else but how could I have known it would have turned out like that:/

the staff, the vide at this hostel, the yoga in the morning, the beach super close also awesome for the sunset..

no curtain in the besdroom

The dorms are very spacious and clean. Beds very comfortable and towels the softest and smelling sooo good (funny how you appreciate this kind of things after few months of traveling ☺️). Common area is also really nice! Allowing you to chill or have a nice breakfast and coffee in the morning ☺️

I loved staying in Love Shack! 🧡 Maybe would just add curtains for beds, but after 1st night I already forgot they are not there 😁

Mama Rita is so wonderful. A lovely woman with a real homely feel to the hostel. She even set me up with other solo travellers in the morning to go tour the island. hostel is nice also with no mosquitos entering the room and good vibes all round

amazing host and cosy atmosphere

It’s hard to evaluate this place since we just spent one night here.

Nothing comes in mind

The best hostel. Such a great atmosphere and Rita is so helpful with everything. From renting a scooter, amazing breakfast through to the best things to do on the island. It’s also located next to one of the best sunset beaches we’ve seen!

nothing an amazing stay!

Bed is comfy, we had good sleep. Staffs are super friendly and accommodating! Close to the beach :)

There's no water supply in toilet during our stay so we had to fetch water from the shower room
