The place is just perfect for backpackers as the receptionist and owners really believe in them and respect them. I've been called last minut on a sold out night and they still offered a bed to sleep.Thanks, thanks, thanks.

The WORST hostel I have ever visited in for to many reasons. I have stayed in hostels cheaper and a lot cleaner. Was so bad we didn’t even stay, we left soon after checking in.

The rooms are good and beds are comfortable.The low rating is due to the bathrooms, it really wouldn't take much to bring them up standard, for starters blinds on the windows so people can't look in. Heater doesn't work either.

It's an old a non looked after building. Receptionists are lovely and were very helpful. The place have a lot of potential but it looks old and it's dirty and broken. The are carpets everywhere, that's dirty and makes it more difficult to move luggage. There are only upstairs rooms, what makes it difficult with luggage. The lighting is everywhere to low, even in the bathroom where there are no towels or paper to dry your hands. Location is good. Smell in the room not nice and no windows. The kitchen is always quiet dirty, and the terrace is old, dirty, disorganised and there's no nice view to anywhere, just other ceilings.

Felt super sketchy as a woman by myself. Do not come here alone ladies. Super dark hallways, no windows in rooms, kitchen has barely any pots, pans or cutlery and the stove takes 10 minutes to heat up enough to just fry an egg so i had to pretend to be on my phone to avoid the creepy men lingering in the kitchen while i waited. The carpet in the room was either super dusty or moldy causr I kept sneezing. The hot water kept abruptly shutting off while i was showering. At night you can feel the base from the music from the club down the street. So loud. Worst night in a hostel i have experienced. Not worth the money

Cheap and affordable accommodation they said and it's 100% true. Rooms were good sized, good aircon, good facilities. Just the wifi can be improved and distributed in every room and not only in the shared rooms. Overall good stay.

Stayed one night.I have no complaints.Everything was basic, and worked.All day parking on the street just one minute walk away on the street (suitable for high vehicles).

I really liked this place, the receptionist was so nice and always open for a talk. The location is really great, not too far from the beach, very close to shopping mall. The room was clean and had a big comfy bed, with a small fridge and Aircon, nice. Hostel was really quiet at this time of the year I guess, not many guest's so we could relax a bit. Great place, only thing was the oven didn't work but that was OK, we just microwaved our pizza ;)

What can I say about the Geckos Rest?? Fabulous!! It’s a safe, clean environment and the team there are passionate and it feels like home.I was lucky to stay with some other amazing backpackers and they also have rooms with single and double beds.Excellent my kitchen facilities with I believe 4 separate burners and sinks.They also have a stunning chill out room and the games room downstairs is excellent with a cool pool table and dart board, couches and a television.

Very clean, nice location but What I Love the most is the welcoming. The lady at reception was lovely. The only bad thing I can say is that I could hear the bar from downstairs on Saturday night but if you come during the week, should be fine
