    Got here just before dark, with no room pre booked. Thankfully the neighbour helped me and said there was a bed left in the dormitory! I paid the owner in the morning as she had gone home for the night. A little bit more expensive than other accommodations at 3560F a night but such a nice hostel. Very welcoming vibe all the guests are friendly and talkative, well set up kitchen, and individual partitioning for each bed in the dormitory, so basically my own space. And mosquito nets around the beds which are much needed! There are lots of fruits, starfruit passionfruit bananas, free for the taking!
