Loved the little dorm and the spacious terrace with beautiful view. The young couple who own it are the sweetest and most helpful people. For the price you pay is also extremely clean and you get even hot water!

Just how great it was for workationing with ample spots in the premises to sit, chill, hangout, work, play games. Mr Dayan, the host, is a very kind and generous person who takes great care of the guests. They offer free breakfast as well as dinner!!! The meals are taken as a community in big tables. I met awesome people and formed friendships I’ll cherish. I just wanted to keep extending the stay.

This place has a magical view. It’s perfectly peaceful and quiet. Cooking was excellent. The walks from the house through the tea fields were very nice. It’s close to Little Adam’s peak and Nine Arches. Super friendly staff and owner.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
