Cempaka hostel

“Avoid this hostel. I am not picky but this hit my threshold.”

Free cancellation. The host left for dinner even though I arrived at the agreed time. Because the hostel is open to anyone without a key, I was able to leave quickly. It was really messy and extremely hot. The main room had several compartments with about four beds each. There was no AC per compartment, just one for the whole facility, which made it incredibly hot. Knowing I would barely sleep there, I looked for another place.

I stayed at a solid hostel in the heart of Bajo, just a stroll of fewer than 5 minutes to the harbour. When my ferry ran late, the owner waited patiently for me to check in, which was a nice touch, and he also guided me to a tour. The place is pretty basic, so don’t expect much extra for its price.

The spot is perfect for backpackers—quiet, cool, and just right.

The location is good, but I can’t understand how it got a 7.3 rating; it smells damp and everything feels filthy.

The spot is spot on, 100/100—right on Main Street, near the port, with supermarkets and restaurants all around. The host was super polite and friendly, helped me book a cruise, and even texted me to wait for my arrival. I paid for two consecutive nights but changed plans for a cruise, and he agreed to shift one of the nights—he’s truly amazing, helpful, and does his best for customers, so 10+ for him! On the downside, the cleanliness was awful: there were only one or maybe two working toilets (not sure, I tried to avoid them) without any toilet paper, they stank badly, and the only sink was clogged with dirty personal items that were probably left by other guests. The place is a large room full of beds, no separate rooms, and no equipment like towels or blankets were provided. There was also no Wi‑Fi.
