Reviews for Melaya Budget Hostel are highly inconsistent, leading to a generally negative overall sentiment. Many guests praise the hostel for being extremely cheap and conveniently located near the city center and local markets. However, a significant number of reviewers report serious issues, including poor cleanliness in the bathrooms and bedrooms, uncomfortable beds, and persistent odors. There are also conflicting reports regarding management, with some guests finding the owner helpful, while others describe unprofessional behavior and a lack of on-site staff. Several reviewers specifically warned about the lack of a full kitchen and the thin walls which impact sleep quality. Ultimately, the hostel is viewed as a 'you get what you pay for' situation that is only suitable for the most budget-conscious travelers.
