Bangka Hostel

The staff and the comfort of the room, especially the toilet and bath. None

The ambience, it’s so perfect. Very safe at night, we have a security personnel. I had no problem or encounter some issues.

Location is by the sea. Nice view

Bathroom was not much maintained

cheap and the staffs are very accomodating and helpful i hope they have designated smoking area. i don’t like a guest who smoke next to me.

Great location, great food and drinks, great staff, strong wifi connection. Can work in the bar area any time of the day. Bar customers can just come and go inside the hostel guest area. AC was barely working, dirty floors, dirty yellowish cr walls and floor.

Location

I like that it was close to the establishments in town. The bed was comfortable. They gave me a nice blanket. The shared comfort room was a bit unmaintained. The shower area was messy. No one maintains the restroom.

Toilet you have to flush 5x or more cos its too slow. Has to be fix.

great location air conditioner or working.

my fan was a bit messed up but it’s not that big of a deal

Bathrooms wasn't clean. No bartender on the bar to prepar the breakfest. No housekeeping while in the private room. I extended my stay for one night and moved to the dorm, there was a rat on the room, and was jumping in my bed.

Right in front of the beach. There are seats where you can hang-out facing the sea. Traveling solo, I always stay in dormitories/hostels. You can find a much better accommodation than this one. — Common area is a smoking area. Almost everyone there (it seems including the staff) smoke. via — I didn’t notice I booked a room without air conditioning. The room has terrible terrible ventilation. Just a window that you can open a bit. There is a fan for each bed but the fan is too loud and you couldn’t even adjust the wind speed. It was hot, uncomfortable and difficult to breathe inside. —You have to leave your footwear at the entrance. That was fine with me, BUT the rugs at the room door and bath were always wet, bathroom and toilet floors were always wet, room floor got lots of sand. Difficult to get to my bed without sand on my feet. —Walls are thin, windows have to stay open for the ventilation, so I could hear the chatting from the common area outside my room and the noise coming from the nearby establishments (restaurants/neighbors). It was noisy until 1:00 in the morning. —Towel provided was terrible. When I wiped my skin with it, some blue small strands/dust coming from the towel stuck into my skin. Whats more shocking is I saw clumps of blonde hair on the towel placed on my bed! —Shower doors are made of bamboo, it’s kinda see through. —It was extremely difficult to find this place! No signages or anything to identify the hostel! I tried calling but staff was not answering. Took me a while to locate the place using google maps.

the staff were friendly and the beds had their own lights and plug-ins. the location right at the beach was great! bathrooms and sand. the bathrooms were constantly wet and sandy and the bathroom locks were questionable. sometimes there was no water at all so I’d go use my friends hostel down the road.

Right at the beach and in the center of town, very friendly host that helped me with my bus and scuba diving trip, good beds with personal light and curtains, and nice vibe in the bar
