BUNK SURFERS PARADISE IS EXCLUSIVELY RESERVED FOR GENUINE INTERNATIONAL BACKPACKERS AGED 18 TO 35.

The location is great! I liked how the beds were organised so you could sometimes get a very private bed. There was also a ton of space in the common areas.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.
