Cramped Quarters
You may find that the rooms - especially the dorm-style options - are quite cramped. It's been reported that there isn't ample space for spreading out comfortably or storing a lot of belongings. Guests have also mentioned that the shared bathrooms can become a bit of an inconvenience, so you may want to keep that in mind if you prefer your privacy during your travels.

Cleanliness Could Be Improved

Terribly Thin Walls
The walls are so thin at this lodge that guests have reported being able to overhear everything that their neighbours in other rooms are doing. If you're a light sleeper, you may want to pack earplugs to block out noise from other guests.
