    Good value and a cozy place

    Twin room is quite tiny, but comfortable nevertheless.

    A cozy place, great staff, not too far from the beach or the town center.

    Super cute cosy hostel

    • Bed in 6-Bed Mixed Dormitory Room
    • Stayed 3 nights
    • Submitted from a mobile device

    - The bed curtains only closed halfway. It was awkward as my bed had direct eye line to the person in the other bed and I couldn’t get privacy. Curtains would be better to go the whole length of the bed! - Netflix on the TV would have been appreciated given nothing was in English. - Nothing to do around the area if you don’t surf. I found Dulan itself a bit boring actually!

    - Very cute cosy homey feel with comfy sofas - Staff were really friendly and polite with recommendations of things to do. - Well equipped kitchen and you can even cook as there’s a stove - Very clean I can walk around bare feet

    The place feels like a shared appartment. There is a lot of common space. The outdoor area and the living room are quite cozy. The couple that is running the hostel is very friendly and helps with advices for activities around the area. It is also very clean. One of the best places I have been during my trip.

    Everything was perfect :the property is located just 5 minutes from the bus stop in a quiet alley that leads directly to the beautiful black sand beach of Dulan. The place is very cosy, Lucy and Buggy made sure that you feel very welcome in everything small details. I stayed in the double room which was lovely and very comfy with a small balcony with a mountain view! Not to mention the rooftop vite the mountain and Palm trees view. Lucy also told me all the great tips and recommandations for my stay in Dulan.

    Such a warm and welcoming place! The owner is incredibly friendly and full of amazing recommendations. The common areas are so inviting—a rooftop with views of the mountains and sea, perfect for yoga or relaxing in the hammock. There’s also a lovely patio with a deck, hammock, and outdoor dining area that made me feel completely at home.

    I really enjoyed my 2 night stay here and would have liked to stay longer if I had time. The hosts were super nice and helpful and the place was clean and comfortable. It’s in a great location and has a nice rooftop as well. I will definitely stay here again when I come back to Donghe/Dulan.

    Stop scrolling! Stay here when you visit Dulan. The owners are so kind and make a great effort for guests to get to know each other. The location is fantastic just a short walk to the beach. Dulan has lovely restaurants for breakfast and dinners. This is a lovely friendly welcoming hostel.

    Would have liked more toilets (there are 2), especially when you share a mixed gender dorm if you need to change clothes etc. The bed curtains can't be drawn all the way.

    Lovely atmosphere and very helping host. Nice hangout space booth indoors and rooftop and back garden. Almost perfect. Would like to visit again.

    The location between beach and main street is quiet and ideal. The hostel was clean, tidy and homely and I did like the rooftop hammock especially after sunset when it was breezy and cool. The hosts, Lucy and Buggy were very warm and welcoming and made me feel at home and answered any questions I may have had about Dulan and beyond and I can see how Dulan would be an easy place to relax for a week, month, whatever. Thanks Lucy and Buggy.

    Amazing atmosphere, the people managing the hostel are really nice and chill. Staying there was very relaxing. The location is perfect just 10 minutes walk or 5 minutes bike from the beach and minutes away from food and coffee options.
