Peaceful!
Didn’t meet many ppl over here coz of off season
Las instalaciones estaban muy bien cuidadas y nuevas. El personal muy amable y la zona del jardín muy cuidada y bonita para pasar el rato
Heerlijk zwembad en fijne locatie om tot rust te komen.
Niet altijd goede wifi en we hadden 1 avond storing dat er geen warm water was en stroom maar dat kan gebeuren
Sheets are clean, shampoo is available and towels, near to center of Ahanghma
I didn’t like the location, a bit scary in night very dark road, no blackouts curtains we i woke up early cuz of the sun inside the room. I heard the steps of the people going to the yoga class in the morning
It was very good stay, The rooms were comfortable and nice. Since there was nobody had an entire room for myself, would recommend 100%
Schöne und ruhige Lage, sehr gepflegt und mit dem Pool und Yoga Angeboten einfach toll!
Die Matratzen quietschen bei jeder Bewegung, dass hat mich oft nachts geweckt und am einschlafen gehindert.
The location was just perfect, and the staff too was friendly and welcoming.
The pool was not cleaned properly, maybe it’s cause of the off season.
L'endroit est top. Le calme est le maitre mot de cet endroit. On se sent bien au bord de la piscine.
L'espace en haut pourrait être aménagé pour créer une zone commune pour pouvoir mieux échanger avec les autres voyageurs.
Loved my stay here! Hostel is amazing and the facilities are great! I loved the location aswell!
Everything was really nice, location,beds bathroom and pool!
Nothing, everything was amazing
Der female Dorm war top, gut klimatisiert und Vorhänge vor den Betten. Alles war sauber und das Hostel ist wirklich schön hergerichtet. Es gab kostenlos Wasser zum nachfüllen und einen Kühlschrank. Der Pool war toll um sich morgens oder abends abzukühlen. Das Café nebenan hat super leckeres Essen :)
1x wollte ich spät abends duschen und es kam kein Wasser mehr aus der Dusche
The pool is amazing. The private rooms are large. It’s just far enough away from the main road to be quiet.
Often times there was no water. On three separate occasions during a four night stay.
Amazing hostel! Great beds and facilities, walking distance to the beach. Highly recommend.
Sleeping areas are spacious and have everything you need for comfort and privacy. The AC in the room works perfectly. Great swimming pool area, clean spaces, and a safe neighborhood - away from the noise of Ahangama but still just a few minutes’ walk away. All in all, a great place for anyone who wants more comfort than a cheap hostel but still enjoys a social atmosphere.
Shower cabins only have two hooks for hanging clothes, but no shelf for toiletries. It’s a minor detail, but not very convenient. The kitchen doesn’t have a sink on the same floor - you need to go down one floor to wash anything. So not the best place if you want to cook something.
Loved the vibe! Had a great time :)
The Well has such a peaceful chilled vibe and looks even better in person (the pool and gardens are beautiful). The location could not be more perfect. Off the beaten track but walkable into the centre of Ahangama.
The washroom was very hot and the bed wasn’t the most comfortable (but not too bad in the grand scheme of things). It wasn’t particularly social.
Super mooie ligging net buiten de drukte, maar toch dichtbij alle belangrijke dingen. Daarnaast zie je veel dieren die regelmatig voorbij komen zoals apen.
Endroit incroyable !
De rust, het heerlijke zwembad, fijne sanitaire voorzieningen, de locatie en het super lieve personeel!
Heb eigenlijk echt niks negatiefs te melden :)
Nice place to stay. The big dorm room gets a loooot of CO2 during the night. The AC cools the air but doesn’t bring in the new one. The pool is a gem.
I loved everything about my stay here ❤️ 4 dorm room, fabulous stay, gorgeous facility!
I wish they could add shelves in the shower to prop your products.
Schöner gepflegter Pool Sauberes gutes Bett- konnte sehr gut schlafen Stilvolle saubere duschen Nette Inhaberin :)
The dorms are great and loved that the Well had a pool! It’s an amazing place, and very close to many nice restaurants, beaches and good surf spots!
Lovely place amidst the hustle and bustle of the Ahangama main road. It is tucked away a couple hundred of meters from both the road as well as the train tracks, making it very quiet and serene; perfect to relax. Dorms are clean as are all the facilities. The pool is amazing.
Best hostel & café, near to Ahangama city Center, near to surf spot, great garden with a nice pool, security, great price value, yummy food and drinks next door at pink house cafe
The location is very quiet and away from the traffic and the train tracks, but also walkable, which is a hard combo to come by in Ahangama. It is modern, clean, and the pool is wonderful. The staff is very kind and attentive, and the Pink restaurant next door is SO good! The yoga platform is great too, and if you go up there early in the morning and you can see lots of wildlife including the monkeys. We stayed in one of the private rooms. It didn't feel like a hostel at all. It feels more like a quiet retreat.
We had a couple small suggestions for them and they were taken care of immediately, so nothing to report! :)
- schönes Hotels Nähe Kabalana, so fern man nicht inmitten des Trubels wohnen möchte, muss man immer ein Stück laufen oder fahren - schöner Pool und entspannte Betten um den Pool, die man auch nach Check out nutzen kann - schöne Yoga Shala - bequeme Betten, das Upper Bed ist etwas steil und man muss bisschen klettern - Möglichkeit, seien Sachen vor dem Zimmer zu trocknen, ausreichend Platz dafür - Vorhänge an Betten, Ablage und Locker vorhanden - finde das Hostel bietet ein super Preis-Leistungsverhältnis
- sehr unordentlich im Zimmer, aber das ist wohl so, wenn so viele Leute miteinander und auch länger im Zimmer wohnen, stört an sich nicht - Bad auch etwas unordentlich, aber ich hatte den Eindruck, dass oft gewischt wird
Grosser Aussenbereich, schöner Pool, ruhige Lage, schönes Yoga Schala
Zu kleine Dormzimmer, zu wenig Liegen und Tische am Pool, Gemeinachaftsbadezimmer
Super accueil, très propre et bonne wifi
This hostel was an absolute gem. A peaceful haven of peace on a side road, just 5 minutes walk from the action in Ahangama town. The building was beatifully designed, the whole vibe so chilled, with a lovely clean pool to swim in, and yoga on the roof every morning. The dorm, showers, washrooms and common rooms were all spotlessly clean. The dorm room was one of the best I've stayed in - spacious, with excellent a/c, curtains and good lockers. Staff were easy to contact, kind and helpful. There was a fab cafe right next door, that was open for breakfast and throughout the day. I was gutted when I eventually had to leave as I hadn't booked ahead and they were full. Highly recommended.
Nothing. It was all lovely. Thank you for the fabulous stay.
Really well designed. Friendly staff. Great to have pool and yoga access.
Perfect! Loved the vibe.
Einfach eines der schönsten Hostels das ich jemals besucht habe. Sehr gechillter Vibe, schöner Garten mit Pool, Rooftop Terrasse, Zimmer & Betten sind sauber und komfortabel. Bad ist auch top.
Es ist eher ruhig, weniger sociable - mir hat das gefallen, aber es kommt vielleicht darauf an was man sucht.
Oase van rust, net wat weg van de drukte (maar nog steeds maar 5 min lopen). Hele fijne comfortabele kamers, zwembad is geweldig, ruimte voor yoga. Leuke andere reizigers. Pink café naast de deur ook echt een uitkomst! Er worden naast yoga niet echt activiteiten georganiseerd, maar dat miste ik ook niet. Reizigers staan wel altijd open voor gesprek. Mocht je op zoek zijn naar een heel social hostel zou ik ergens anders heen gaan!
Nicely manicured property with a clean bedroom and bathroom. We really liked that a reusable water bottle and filtered water were provided, too. Bed is very comfy and monkeys jump around, putting on a show. Its location away from the main road makes it nice and quiet. We decided to reduce our stay from 5 nights to 3 to move closer to the beach. The staff sorted this out quickly and fuss free for us, which we really appreciated.
Not great value for money when compared to other stays in the area. For the price you pay, you should have breakfast included, a fridge and a kettle with tea and coffee. Because the outdoor lights are kept on over night, it’s also quite light during the room at night.
A short walk from a really good surf spot! A cafe right next door as well as walking reach of some other great restaurants. Casual vibe at the hostel, we were in a private room which had enough mod cons but slightly less than other places we stayed on our trip. Was informed of the activities on site and all the staff were super helpful. We can’t comment too much on the hostel element as we were there as a couple and very in/out. Rooms were high cleaning spec
Bed was a little bit uncomfortable
This is literally the best hostel I’ve ever stayed at. Exceptionally clean, beautiful, so well maintained. Also, the staff - a bunch of legends. So kind and caring. I really recommend the well to everyone, and I will be back for sure. ❤️
Literally nothing I can write here. Maybe it would be nice to have more kitchen facilities (to cook), but honestly the place is perfect as it is.
Via het hostel een scooter geregeld en het zwembad is super chill!
De douche was koud en er was een hele dag lang geen stroom, waarover niet duidelijk gecommuniceerd was. Als je op zoek bent naar een sociaal hostel, dan is dit niet de plek. Als je wil chillen en je lekker je eigen ding wil doen dan wel! (Je moet wel een eigen scooter hebben)
Great location, amazing surroundings, spacious room, clean, friendly staff
Generally very clean and neat.
There's no common area where one could hangout, except the garden (where the pool is). So if it's raining, or too sunny, or past 18 - you'll have to chill either outside the hostel or in your bed.
L'ambiance, la localisation à quelques minutes de la plage et d'un spot de surf ! 🏄🏼♀️ L'équipe est très gentille. Durant la journée vous pouvez assister au passage de petits singes (il y en a de différentes espèces en fonction du matin/après midi...) Le dortoir est bien, un petit rideau pour un peu d'intimité, très appréciable 😊 La piscine agréable En résumé, n'hésitez pas à tenter l'expérience !
The cleanliness and relaxed atmosphere. At the end of my stay, the manager helped me get to the next destination and came up with a great solution.
Tolle Lage ruhige aber sehr zentrale Lage in direkter Nähe zum Marshmellow Surfspot. Wir hatten ein schönes großes Doppelzimmer - davon scheint es in der Unterkunft nur 2 zu geben. Meiner Meinung nach sieht die Unterkunft in echt noch schöner aus als auf den Bildern hier bei Booking. Nach dem Auschecken hat man die Möglichkeit sich vor dem Anflug in den Duschen der Dorms nochmal frisch zu machen, das ist klasse!
Toll wären noch Handtücher für den Pool und ab und an die Option für einen Handtuchwechsel (wenn schon die Betten nicht gemacht werden). Leider war die Hygieneschutz auf der Matratze sehr rutschig und unangenehm. Diesen sollte man durch einen angenehmeren ersetzen.
Eine sehr entspannte Umgebung, tolle Zimmer und ein super tolles Café nebenan!
Very beautiful place and good location. The monkeys showing up was definitely a highlight.
Nothing.
Very good location, the staff is super friendly and helpful and in a beautiful place, surrounded by the nature.
Nothing.
The pool is as amazing as the photos! Dorms are clean and spacious. Quiet location but close enough to walk around - a sanctuary!
La struttura è un sogno. Molto pulita sia nelle camera che negli ambienti comuni. Talmente bella che ho prolungato il mio soggiorno. Ogni mattina propongono lezioni di yoga/pilates sulla terrazza e hanno un bar aperto dalle 8 alle 15 in cui poter fare delle ottime colazioni anche a bordo piscina. La posizione è comodissima: 3 min a piedi dalla spiaggia e dalla via principale con tanti negozi/atm/supermacati/ristoranti ecc Il personale è molto gentile e disponibile.
Non hanno shampoo/bagnoschiuma in dotazione, bè una bottiglia d’acqua, che per il prezzo sarebbe ottimo trovare.
Moc krásné, klidné a čisté ubytování, vše blízko na dosah, kavárna hned vedle. Bazén moc hezky i čistě udržován, možnost využití jóga podložek. Rozhodně doporučuji.
Postel nebyla úplně pevná a při každém pohybu se celá hýbala jak dole, tak i nahoře, což v průběhu noci budí ostatní spolubydlící.
Super freudliche Gastgeber, Pool und Badezimmer sind alle sauber. Ich habe mich sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Yoga lektionen direkt vor Ort sind hervorragend, auch der Tuktuk fahrer Dami kann ich von herzen empfehlen er ist sehr sympatisch, er hat mir viel über das Land und die Gegend erzählt. Den Kaffe im Pinkhouse kann ich sehr empfehlen.
Nichts. :)
What a place to be. 😍 Die Unterkunft ist perfekt, um zu entspannen und mit Yoga in den Tag zu starten. Man fühlt sich hier sofort wohl, alles war super sauber und nebenan gibt es die Möglichkeit leckeres Essen zu genießen. Ich würde sofort wieder buchen.
This place is a real hidden paradise! I felt completely relaxed here peaceful, quiet, and perfect for a getaway. The atmosphere is wonderful, and the surroundings are beautiful. There’s a lovely little cafe next to it where you can enjoy great coffee or breakfast.The hosts are super friendly and helpful you can tell they really care about every detail. I truly recommend this place and would love to come back! 💚
Nothing
Heel modern en comfortabel verblijf met een heerlijk zwembad. Ik bleef hier zes dagen en vond het geweldig. Er was altijd iemand aanwezig van personeel en de mensen waren super vriendelijk. Een aanrader!
Sehr sauber und ruhig, der Pool ist toll zum Entspannen!
Such a nice hostel! Great to hang out by the pool. Really friendly and welcoming.
