It would be great if the hostel could add a makeup mirror in the public area or near the front table for convenience. Also, I hope they can consider upgrading to a more powerful hair dryer—the current one really tested my patience (haha!). Just a few small touches that could make an already amazing stay even better.

Sogor Female Dormitory is honestly one of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed at! I feel so lucky to have had the chance to stay here for 3 nights—it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Even though I came as a solo backpacker, I never felt alone. I ended up meeting two amazing foreigners during my stay, and we connected instantly. The environment is clean, hygienic, and very well maintained. The washrooms are spotless, the laundry area is convenient, and the public space is super comfortable—perfect for relaxing or chatting with other travelers. This hostel gave me not only a safe and comfy place to stay, but also meaningful memories and new friendships. I highly recommend it to any solo female traveler out there. I’d easily rate it 10/10!

Nothing! Location is a bit outside of the main attractions, but very easily accessible with grab! The neighbourhood does have enough dinner places and a 7/1, convenience stores close by!

This was by far one of the best hostels I have stayed at! It is comfortable, the ‘pod’ has everything you need, from hooks, lights and a little ‘table’ you can pull from the wall. The accommodation itself has literally everything you need from clothing steamer, to hairdryers, washing machine, clothing line etc. They even have a room were you can get dressed that is fully mirrored, super handy! Everyone has their own locker, that opens with your keycard. The manager who is their daily is a wonderful sweet woman, who makes it feel very homy! There is a lounge/waiting area, that has a couple kitchen facilities. The place is one of the cleanest I’ve been to!

I had an amazing stay at Sogor Female Dormitory! Everything about it exceeded my expectations. The place is spotlessly clean, conveniently located, and the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. One of the highlights for me was the availability of a washing machine and dryer (for a small fee), which made my stay even more comfortable. As a solo female traveler, I felt completely safe throughout my time here, thanks to the excellent security measures in place. I would highly recommend this dormitory to any solo female travelers looking for a safe, clean, and welcoming place to stay. I will definitely choose this place again on my next visit!

It was so clean and comfortable. Exactly what I needed. Washing machine, tumble dryer and steamer available to use. There was even a dedicated room (4 walls mirrorred ) to allow changing clothes on privacy. Exceeded my expectations from a dorm. Not at all far from where the hussle and bustle of Georgetown is and the host was very helpful . Nice comfortable and quiet stay

The hostel is far from city center, but there are still great food places within a 3 minute walk.

The floors were clean, and the design of the bathroom area is nice. I got into a mild motorcycle accident during my stay, and the hostel manager was very helpful in helping me tape up the wounds. The hostel manager also provided good food recommendations in the area. I also liked how the manager was receptive to suggestions for the hostel.

There was nothing I did not like.

First of all, the owner is a wonderful lady, very friendly and helpful. She has given me several recommendations on where to eat and what to do in the area.The location itself is great with several good restaurant around, Seven Eleven and temples. The place is impeccably clean. CP comes personally and leaves it spotless clean and with good smell every day. This place is for girls who can follow the rules and keep the room quiet at night. It's such a great place to sleep: quiet, clean and the air conditioner works really well. I met girls from China, Spain, Germany and Malaysia. It's great place to make friends🙂

It was the best stay I have ever had. Felt very safe as a woman. Had really nice friends because it really feels like home everything is so clean. They also gave an umbrella to use for the day.

It's very spacious, clean, and the pods offered a lot of privacy. There's free washing machines and drying racks for laundry which is very helpful. The kitchen is very clean and appliances are new. It's a perfect stay really.

Loveliest hostel I stayed in throughout the whole of SE Asia. So clean and the bathrooms were so new and pretty. The beds were comfy and had a curtain. There was a good amount of luggage storage. The owner is the nicest lady and gave some great recommendations.
