Returned from 13 days in Site Feedback. Mixed feelings but mostly positive.

Accommodation:
Guesthouse near the main area. $30/night. Clean and central.

Scene:
Quieter than I hoped but still good. Prices were in line with forum reports.

Quality:
Varied — some great, some average. Had 10 encounters total.

Logistics:
Public transport is good enough. Eating out was very affordable.

Safety:
Used common sense and had no problems.

Overall: 7.5/10. Would definitely return.

Happy to answer any questions.

How long did it take to feel comfortable and find the good spots?

Agreed on all points. Make sure to use a VPN.

Good info. Going during the week is much better — less crowded and better prices.

Did you use an agency or find girls at the hotel?

Also recommend downloading Maps.me before you go. Essential.

Adding my experience: scene has bounced back since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 15-20%.

Word of caution — do not carry too much cash. Other than that, great destination.

I was there in January and prices were great value. Spent about $100/day all-in.

My tip: try the local spots away from tourists.
