"Pros: Very nice bus terminal and hiking trail to Peak. Easy to hop onto a bus to go other trails and places. Really peaceful surroundings in the morning. Cons: Very dark once sun sets. Last bus back to terminal is quite early (esp from HK main island). If you miss the bus, very troublesome to get to the hostel. Nearby F&B places close around 5:30pm so bring or prepare your own food." ~Sp

"Pros: Village setting, surrounded by sub- tropical plants. View of the mountains. Quiet, considering that airport was quite near. Great walks on the island. Tai-O fishing village is well worth visiting by bus. Take a motorboat and with luck you’ll see Chinese white dolphins. Room was very clean. Cons: Walking through a construction site to get to the village path. It should be OK after construction is finished. Accommodation and facilities are basic if you are used to hotels but it suited me." ~John
