Positive: I love this backpackers! I feel really at home staying here & I like the vibe & people here so much, I came back a second time to stay. Henry, the lovely English guy on reception was incredibly helpful & he carried my heavy 33kg suitcase up lots of stairs for me & he upgraded me to a nicer room with less people in it & he checked me in early & made my bed himself! He also gave me lots of good recommendations for Bali & was generally a really nice man. Danny was also very nice & said Henry could check me in early etc. All of the staff are really nice & friendly & in general I always enjoy my stay here
