Budds in Surfers

I know the staff is putting a lot of effort into the hostel to have a nice and comfortable vibe, and I appreciate they have been very available and kind. They tried to accommodate me by changing my room when I requested a female dorm. I liked the pool area too and the playlist itself in the common area was very cool + they prepare your bed, which is very nice!

As I said at my check-out, there is not really an exterior place to enjoy without someone smoking next to you. As an ex-smoker, I understand the pleasant freedom of smoking everywhere, but people were smoking also in the areas where it wasn't allowed, and I admit signals weren't really visible as I noticed them only when I've been told that there are actually smoking-free areas. Anyway there is music everywhere, I always thought music is good until I realized there was already the playlist in the common area, plus the speakers of the people cleaning the rooms without talking about the different speakers of the guests... there is not really that much space to rest in this chaos, but my fault, it's a hostel with typical hostel party vibe, and it's fine. Last but not least, I never seen a place where guests of the rooms are not in charge of the air conditioning in the room, there are no remote controls and I found it such a waste to see them on the whole day, also during the night while sleeping, but again, I am not the one paying for that energy, so it shouldn't bother me, but somehow I don't like the unnecessary waste in general. The kitchen is a bit small for the amount of guests, but the staff was doing its best for keeping it clean.
