  I had a wonderful stay here! The hostel was clean, cozy, and had such a friendly atmosphere. The staff were incredibly kind and always happy to help, which made me feel very welcome. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting!

  I come to Mailala Hostel for a few days and ended up staying much longer than planned. The atmosphere is incredible, the rooftop is beautiful, and it’s so easy to meet people here. This isn’t just a hostel - if feels like a home where everyone in is welcome. I arrived alone and left wish a lot of new friends. Highly recommended if you want good vibes, great people, and unforgettable memories in Saigon.

  Laid-back rooftop bar with a great vibe. Friendly staff, board games to keep you entertained, and plenty of travellers passing through to swap stories with. Awesome spot to relax and meet new people!

  "This Jamaican restaurant is a hidden gem in Ho Chi Minh City! The food bursts with authentic flavor—every dish is seasoned to perfection and feels like a taste of the islands. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with reggae vibes that make you want to stay all night. Staff are friendly and attentive, adding to the overall great experience. If you’re looking for good food and good vibes, this is the place to be!"

  I'm not sure who runs the place but I'd imagine it's uncle. Keep the good work up unc! I can't for the life of me figure out the work dynamic. Like...who is doing what? Not a complaint but definitely feel like I should get it off my chest. Booked this hostel (6 people in total). We were initially met with a young freshly woken up lady. Sorry for waking you up princess. Odd place to sleep (in front of the bar). Might be better to let uncle do the talking. I was under the impression she'd just undergone an exorcism so I kept my distance, naturally. I'm pretty sure she was asleep the whole day on the sofa. Hope you're okay.. Rooms newly refurbished. I love freshly cut wood but that's just me. Reminds me of going hardware shopping. Fun times huh? There's a rooftop bar also! No lift so just brave the stairs. Not that bad. Cool bar - worth it. They have a pool table. Not entirely flat. But makes pool more interesting that's for sure.

  Food was absolutely horrendous Definitely not jamaican food Where do I start Ordered curry chicken taste more like indian curry chicken, the rice was cold, told the woman the rice is cold she picked up the rice off my plate with her hands, to see if it was cold and said sorry and walked off My friend ordered curry goat they come out with oxtail with no meat on We ordered jerk on the side and waited a hour for the jerk, didn't even taste like jerk at all. Definitely not authentic jamaican food Worst Caribbean food I ever had in my life well I wouldn't even call Caribbean. Was not happy.
