The worst experience in life..
We arrived at the Monastery hostel around 9pm. Our first impression was that we're at the wrong place and came to a scrapyard instead of a cosy place that was shown on photos. There was no one at the reception to speak with,so we called Stephen. He explain to us where to go, but for a long while we couldn't find the River Hut as it was hidden behind the pile of junk. We decided to take a shower first, and this is when the nightmare began.. the bathroom was intentionally design to be dark so you can't see the dirt and spider webs all around the place. The water was boiling hot with no pressure. The shower cabins were badly DIYed. The floor made from plywood that already soaked so much we were worried it's gonna collapse. Then we went to the River Cabin that we booked. The place must had been neglected for years. Never seen hoover, wipes, mop or any touch of cleaning cloth. Spider webs everywhere, dead insects, dirt and disgusting smell of dump. Holes in the walls, floor and door filled with the plastic bags. No chance to see anything through the dirty window so you can only imagine the river outside (although it's more like a swamp than a river). Slow cooker filled with sand was imitating central heating. Because it was late already we were afraid that we gonna have to spend a night there, but that would completely wreck our nerves .. at 11:30pm we decided to pack our stuff and leave to another place which we thankfully found last minute. We were shocked by Stephen's attitude and his way of dealing with guests. Of course we couldn't count for a refund.
Avoid this place!
