Opt for a Private Room

Be Prepared for Hot Weather
The dorm rooms can get hot, and some guests found the fans provided insufficient. Consider this if you're sensitive to heat.
Pack Earplugs
If you're staying in a tent, consider bringing earplugs as noise from the surroundings can be heard.
Manage Expectations

Consider Food Options
The onsite restaurant is a bit pricey for a backpacker lodge, and some guests experienced long waiting times for food orders.
Be Mindful of Mosquitoes
While the property provides mosquito nets, some guests encountered mosquitoes, so it's advisable to come prepared with repellent.
Plan for Weekend Entertainment
If you enjoy live music, plan your stay to coincide with Friday and Saturday evenings when there are free concerts at the poolside bar.
