    The owner's wife of this backpackers is extremely rude and entitled, she felt all right and said it's right to comment on the cloths I was wearing, as they were stained, she asked me to wash my cloths cause it's not right in there social environment. I replied to,saying I could also tell you my opinion on how fat you are and should probably do something about your weight ,but I wouldn't as it's not fruitful conversation, discriminateing on your guests will indefinitely cause a downward spiral of business and most definitely the reason il never be back and never promote this backpackers. Barely in mind I'm and international traveler,staying in over 30 backpackers in the last year alone. Advising to go elsewhere if you intend to have a pleasant stay.
