Definitely recommend. ##### Mark Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John Jan 24, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Excellent, modern, well-designed hostel with great facilities, warm friendly hosts, and a wonderful pool. A quiet setting just 1km or so from a supermarket and pleasant bikeride or hitch to the main town. Also a good base for local boat & diving trips, or somewhere just to chill out. Thoroughly recommended. ##### John Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Allison Feb 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The property is fantastic and set up well. The host are great and a lot of fun to hang out with. The pool is a nice touch. They have a nice lounge with a TV and a nice kitchen area. They have free bikes. They will do laundry for you on site. The bathrooms are very clean and offer some privacy even though they are not located in the rooms. They have a honesty bar where you can grab a beer or a Coke and drop a few bucks in a cup next to the fridge. They had some nice things in the room like toothbrushes, a small tube of toothpaste, shampoo, and a comb. I didn’t realize that the room didn’t have air conditioning, but they lhad a nice ceiling fan and an oscillating stick fan in the room so it wasn’t bad. The only thing I would suggest is better mattresses. I could feel the springs poking through the mattress in our room. It’s new. It’s just very basic and not very comfortable. All in all we had a fantastic time at Royal Rat and we would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to others. ##### Allison Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### daisy Feb 24, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Lovely place.

The hosts were excellent and helpful. Free bikes and several good dining options close by. Thanks! I hope to come again! ##### Craig Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### melanie Feb 13, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Amazing! ##### melanie Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Leila Apr 15, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Lovely friendly owners who go out of their way to help out. Very clean. Comfy beds. good kitchen. Great pool and sunbeds. A very sociable place, the owners also put on a couple of nights making it easy to meet the other guests. Its a little way out of the village (not walking distance), but you can easily hitch a ride or use one of the bikes at the hostel to cycle in. ##### Leila Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Mario Jun 25, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities No a c ##### Mario Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Leila Apr 14, 2023 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Lovely owners who will go out of their way to help out. Great pool and sunbeds. Very Sociable hostel. They had a couple of organised nights (BBQ and Pizza) which made it easy to meet people. Everything was very clean, comfy beds and a good kitchen. It is a little way out of the village but you can hitch a ride in easily enough or use one of the bikes at the hostel. There is a smaller village in the other direction that is closer. ##### Leila Stayed 1 night in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Thomas Mar 11, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Mark, der Gastgeber hat sich alle Mühe gegeben uns einen schönen Aufenthalt zu bereiten.
