Pros:

The staff is nice, the position next to the beach is great! Very friendly and young environment.

Cons:

The photos on Booking do not accurately represent the reality of this place.
The level of hygiene is very poor, both in the dormitory and in the common areas. There are many dogs, and they are all very friendly, but they relieve themselves everywhere, and no one seems to clean up after them.
The lobby, where people eat and where food is prepared, is covered in dog hair, and there is dog urine on the floor.
In addition, right next to the kitchen and the entrance to our dormitory, there is a very small cage with around twenty cats confined inside all day. I understand that the intention is to rescue them from the streets, but these conditions are terrible, and the strong smell of pee reaches the dormitory.
The animals also wander into the bathrooms, which are already not very clean.

Really bad experience
Pros:

Absolutely nothing

Cons:

I can honestly say this is one of the absolute worst hostels I have ever stayed at in my life. There is no connection between the photos and the reality.
The host was very unpleasant, the room was dirty and looked nothing like the pictures, and at 2:30 AM people were shouting and making a lot of noise. I asked the host to do something about it, but there was nobody at reception who seemed to care or actually take responsibility. There is no order or management here.
The only positive thing I can say is that the host agreed to shorten my stay to one night, even though I had already asked to cancel my stay after just one hour.
In the morning, when I woke up, the host apologized for the noise and said she didn’t know there had been such a mess. She asked if I managed to sleep, and I told her I hadn’t slept even for one minute. Her response was simply to apologize and say that I still had to pay for that night. She didn’t even offer any compensation. What a disgrace of a hostel and a disgraceful way to treat a guest.

I paid over €30 per night for the room, which in this area could have gotten me an amazing room in a resort or hotel. Instead, I received a musty, unpleasant room. When I complained, the host simply said something like: “Yes… it might be sand on the floor. If you want, they can clean it.” Honestly, it was just absurd.
With a little more respect, the host should have offered a full refund for the unpleasant experience, instead of making me spend the night in a place I clearly did not want to stay in.
I hope anyone with even basic standards reads this and thinks carefully before booking.

Pros:

Ostello molto vicino al mare

Cons:

Poca pulizia, l'ostello è pieno di cani bravissimi che però fanno pipí ovunque anche sulle gambe del tavolo sul quale si mangia o sulle gambe del divano... I lettini in spiaggia sono distrutti e davvero sporchissimi. Molto caro per i servizi che offre rispetto ad altri ostelli in Vietnam nei quali siamo stati

Wunderbar , chillig , entspannt
Pros:

Uns hat das Bungalow sehr gut gefallen. Ist groß , schlicht , hat ein ( teils ) offenes Badezimmer .. was zu „ Mitbewohner“ wie Frosche führen kann 🙂. Aber alles super, schöner Balkon , schöne Lage ( 2 min zu einem sehr schönen Strand) Die Dame von der Rezeption ( Chefin) hat uns bei allem möglichen geholfen. Sehr nettes Personal. Nebenan ist das Hostel: dadurch viele junge Menschen, und ab und zu Partys abends

Cons:

Wir haben 3 Tage verlängert, weil es uns so gut gefallen hat und hier es besser fanden als in Da Nang. In den 8 Tagen wurde das Bungalow nicht sauber gemacht und die Handtücher nicht gewechselt. Aber wenn wir etwas gebraucht haben ( zus. Handtücher , Kissen, Toilettenpapier ) mussten wir nur danach fragen. Ich glaube, so funktioniert es hier. Muss man nur vorher wissen.
