    The location was great, it was within walking distance of all the main sights, cafes, and markets. It was really convenient to explore and do some shopping. The staff members were friendly and helpful, always spreading good vibes. The breakfast was delicious, with fresh fruits and juices available every day. The dorm was spacious and had private lockers for each bed. The bathroom and shower were always clean. There were plenty of places to hang out and relax, including a clean pool to swim and enjoy the sun.

    There were a few downsides to my stay. I didn't like that I had to pay a refundable deposit for the keys to my room and also had to buy a lock for the locker-storage.

    The private rooms with bathrooms were spacious and clean. The location was great, close to town and within walking distance of attractions. One of the advantages was the large kitchen which was perfect for making our own meals.

    Some of the rooms were cold at night during the winter months, especially those without heaters. The showers sometimes lacked hot water and had a tendency to leak.

    The private rooms at the guesthouse have comfortable big beds and balconies offering a nice view. the common areas are well-maintained and include a bar and games area. the secured parking spaces inside the property provide a sense of safety and convenience.

    My recent stay at Chameleon Backpackers & Guesthouse was fantastic. The variety of rooms and dorms provided comfortable and secure accommodation. The continental breakfast was a great way to start the day, and the reasonably priced bar offered tasty snacks and evening meals. The bathrooms and showers were clean with hot water, and the well-equipped kitchen was a bonus. The staff were friendly and helpful, available 24 hours a day. Airport transfers and local transport arrangements were easily made through the front desk, and any issues were quickly resolved. The link up with Chameleon Safaris was seamless, and the free walking tour was informative and enjoyable. I highly recommend this hostel for a great stay.

    The location was great, within walking distance to the city center. We also appreciated the friendly and helpful staff. The free breakfast was a nice touch and the beds were comfortable.

    Our room lacked sufficient lighting and had no way to control the ceiling fan speed, resulting in either being too hot or too cold. The hot water supply was unreliable, and the Wi-Fi in our room was often unreliable too.

    The rooms lacked proper lighting and privacy, with windows overlooking the parking lot. The control of the ceiling fan was not adjustable, leading to discomfort.
