A very nice stay, the common areas were really nice and the rooms were exceptionally clean. Special shoutout to Shine on the front desk, he was very friendly with some handy tips about navigating the island.

Super nice and kind owner. The lady who met me by the reception. It was nice to talk with her and she was super friendly. the room was nice. Big window so it’s bright enough during the day and you have AC and windows can be open from the outside And there’s a lot of space chair and table so you can even work with your laptop and the best thing, bathroom is just next to you,and almost 99% just for you. There’s a nice pool nice chill area with books , water refill station, little kitchen and the fridge so it’s basically everything just to settle down for a few days and enjoy your time.

The free facilities such as the pool, the ping pong table and pool table!! It was really fun and very easy to make friends. Their kitchen was also great and with good prices compared to the nearby restaurants. They also offered a taxi with a good price there, which was very useful whenever we needed to head somewhere :)

All hostels in Koh Samui

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    I had an amazing stay at this hostel! The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, the room was clean and the bed was comfortable, and the atmosphere was so welcoming. Plus, the Persian restaurant was a delightful bonus. The flavors were incredible, the presentation was beautiful, and the service was top-notch. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a great place to stay and dine. They also have vegetarian options to choose from. There is a beautiful beach just a few minutes away and a 711 next door.
