I had been having a rough week with food poisoning, eye infections, missed buses, and language barriers in the desert, so when I arrived to the hostel to find I had gone ahead and not confirmed my booking my heart sank.

I went for Chef Hostel because of existing reviews and was not disappointed. I stayed in a nice air-conditioned, impeccably clean double bed room with a common bathroom and shower area.

I gave obviously a bad review (as it is my right as a Bookings users) and the owners have literally tormented me after that. If you scroll down the reviews page you can see how aggressive... More

I stayed at Chef Hostel for 2 nights and was generally pleased with my experience. I had booked a bunk in a 5 share ladies dorm and was pleased to see that there were only 2 of us on the first night and 3 of us on the second although there would have been ample space even had the room... More

We booked a room in this hostel but by arrival the hostelowner 'upgraded' us to the room next to his own bedroom...
