the only decor in was laminated red signs warning “anyone caught using empty beds not assigned to them will be charged accordingly!” I didn’t feel any of that traditional Fijian hospitality. The room was sectioned up into what looked like office cubicles of four bunk beds, with no room to store luggage and hardly enough room to squeeze in between the two beds.

The room was windowless, dark, cramped and the bathroom was grubby.

The biggest dorm room I have ever stayed in. I booked on Hostelworld to stay at Smugglers Cove, I stayed in a 34 person mixed dorm room. Most people use this area as a base to then do island trips. This backpacker-land is made up of six different hostels, though only one is independent the rest is run as a monopoly.
