"Very good value. Beachfront hostel. Beautiful views. Functional kitchen with helpful accessories. Hot water in shower with a quality towel provided. Comfortable beds. Fans provided but rooms can still be very warm."
A/C not available but would be nice for guests willing to pay for an upgrade.

"Vibes were great, bathrooms were clean, laundry was efficient, and the staff was hella friendly. Great place to mingle too, and in a great neighborhood that was observing Ramadan at the time."
I stayed in the room at the very top of the building, so you could hear some kind of generator outside the walls the whole night. So there was some noise. Unsure if from inside or a neighbor.

"I stayed in a male shared dorm in the upper floor. Great location! Many restaurants & cafe on the same street. Very kind staff and safe location. Walking distance to Renissance market place and attraractions around it."
Male shared bathroom needs a some hooks to hang clothes while using the bathroom.

"Location is perfect, minutes away from points of interests. Breakfast is nice. Reception staff is very helpful Large and comfortable room."
It was quite cold in the room, maybe it would be a good idea to provide extra blankets :)

"Extremely spacious and well maintained common areas (deep cleaned daily), good location, ac available in dorms"
No complaints! I think this hostel should be rated more highly than it is. Would stay here again and would recommend others to stay here.

"The owner is incredibly kind and accommodating, the facilities are clean and well kept, and Felix the cat will cuddle with you if you let him! In addition, the location of the hostel is very conveniently placed, and the other people staying there were delightful. All in all, my stay was 10/10! If I come back to the Faroe Islands this place will be my first choice!"

"Recently I stayed at The Sparkling Turtle Hostel and I had a wonderful experience. The location, house, and rooms were all very nice, clean, and comfortable. I really enjoyed my stay there. Special thanks to Mr. Ajit, who attended to me during my stay. He is a very humble and kind person and made me feel very welcome. Highly recommended place to stay in Kathmandu.” 😊 Specially Thankyou Mr Ajit Sir for everything..."
Everything is Good 👍

"Good location, especially if you are doing any diving. Really nice that there are some affordable options in Palau. Shared bathroom facility was clean and simple. It was everything that I needed."
Communication was a bit challenging with the front desk.

"Excellent location! Near beaches and also quiet. Close to Jijel (an easy bus ride) yet also far enough away that it felt like a small town--quiet and comfortable. I would definitely stay here again! Staff was so helpful and friendly."

"The common area always had other travelers to meet and the staff was nice. The breakfast was simple but satisfying. The location is just a short walk to the main tourist sites of the city."
The beds were quite uncomfortable. Mosquito nets full of holes. Understandably the building and windows are old but need to have appendages added to be able to prop them open because there is no airflow and pretty stuffy and smelly rooms.

"The position is great and the room is overall quiet despite the very trafficked road."
I didn't like the messiness of the place. Overall quite chaotic building with construction sites and no comfortable shared space. There is a great rooftop, but is not really used and fully available for guests yet.

"The room, bathrooms and shared areas were very clean. The staff were all friendly and helpful. The location was great, right in the middle of Papeete near the port. I really enjoyed my stay."
The bed was a little hard for me as a side sleeper.
