Dirty bathrooms and overcrowded hostel

We were really disapointed, we've been travelling for 3 and half months and these were the most disgusting bathrooms we've been in. First time I felt the need to wear flip flops in the shower! I told the reception that they were filthy and excuses were made about too many people using the shower and nothing changed. Don't forget to bring your own toilet paper as they're often empty! There were too few facilities for the number of people in the hostel. The kitchen was inadequate and filthy so we didn't even use it. However, we stayed in a private double room on a high floor which was nice and also quiet at night. No complaints with the room but the shared bathrooms and living areas were far from up to scratch. A serious deep clean is needed.
