First the island seemed small and but soon we discovered many things to do: beaches, jungle treking, fishing squid etc with the local fishermen, feeding hornbills, driving around with a scooter and other fun stuff. All our days were filled with happy locals who became our friends really fast. Our host was very caring and always there for us when needed. He explained exactly what we needed to do and was very flexible. We also went out for food a couple of times and had fun conversations! As for the tasks we basically had to clean and check the guests in and out. Favourite place in Malaysia!

We really enjoyed our time at the hostel on the hostel. Although we never got to meet Bern (the host) due to him being on the mainland, his brother Kanna (Co owner/ hostel manager) was brilliant. The tasks that we were required to complete were nice and easy, our schedule was flexible which left lots of time for relaxing and exploring the island. Our only criticism about our experience was the lack of organisation, sometimes guests would just appear and we had no idea they were coming or what accommodation they had booked.

If you want free time for your self and for enjoying the island is great. Work is easy and very flexible, depending on the amount of guests staying in. We didn't really experience any cultural exchange with locals apart from talking a bit with the owner and apart of people you meet yourself in the island. We were alone the majority of the time, you may like it or not depending on what you expect from it.

Foi excelente por que eu realmente precisava de paz e tranquilidade. A Ilha é bem pequena e o hostel está muito bem localizado para que tenha uma imersão com os locais. Porém não tinha muito trabalho a ser feito e vimos o anfitrião poucas vezes. Descansamos muito e aproveitamos a ilha sem muitas obrigações e intercâmbios profundos

A ilha é linda, cheia de vida e cultura, mas pode ser parada dependendo do que você busca. Eu e meu marido ficamos 2 semanas, foi bacana. Kanna nos recebeu e explicou tudo de forma objetiva, mas estava ocupado e tivemos pouco contato com ele. As instalações foram como esperado e o trabalho bem leve, fizemos até menos do que o combinado. Iniciamos um projeto para o hostel, mas não concluímos. Indico para quem busca tranquilidade, mas não para quem quer agito ou fazer amizades.
