Sun Valley Hostel

The place is beautiful. The environment is just perfect. The staff were good to me.

This place is absolutely vile, defo read the reviews before booking. We stayed 1 night and had to book somewhere else for the other 3, woke up covered in bites and visibly saw bed bugs. Place is filthy, ants everywhere, wallpaper peeling, rust leaking from the shower head, mould on the ceiling, mattress is disgusting, rooms smells damp and bathroom smells even worse. No AC just 1 fan provided, unable to move in the room it’s that hot and small, can’t even plug your charger in the wall as it falls out and wifi doesn’t work. They don’t get back to you about pick up from the port so you have to make your own way there even though it’s advertised as free. When we asked for a refund for the nights we didn’t stay, we were told to speak to the owner who was very rude on the phone, shouted at us and when we raised our voice back he used it as an excuse to not give us a refund, actual money grabbers this place, avoid at all costs. Staff are clueless and nothing is clean, advertised as satisfactory over luxury but this place is the furthest thing from satisfactory.

It’s honestly such a cute little hostel! The owners are former travelers themselves and told us that they want to recreate a place they wish were accessible back then. So something homey and budget friendly which it also is. So it’ll obviously not be a 5 star hotel but the owners and the employees are just WONDERFUL people. They’re currently renovating and you can really see the passion and love they have for this place. They kept asking us for feedback about what they can improve etc, really showing that they consider the customers point of view! They also went above and beyond to help us book different kind of tours for our stay and provided us with useful information. The front desk worker once helped us book a tour until 11pm without complain! This hostel was honestly such a highlight of our stay and even made us extend for a couple more day!!
