Staff was absolutely amazing. They were so friendly and wanted to bring my creditcard when I forgot it. Really nice that you have a fridge and kitchen, i'm not used to that. Great that you can kayak and pool + view is amazing.

It’s a private room for a very good price. Moonlight is taking good care of the property and her guests. She is a delight to talk to. There is a kitchen and fridge for guests to use and a pool. The common area is spacious. The place is clear and tidy, very comfortable to stay at. It’s not near a big road so at night it’s quiet and peaceful. There’s the possibility of renting a scooter to get around more easily. The mattress is a bit hard, but there are special blankets available which she’ll put on top to make it more soft. It’s a delight to stay here.

I cannot rate this hostel highly enough! It is simply the BEST in Koh Samui. The staff, Wan & Piak, went above and beyond everyday during our stay, from helping us finding a rental scooter place, to asking how our day was, and overall just being such lovely helpful people, they definitely made our stay feel like home ( the fluffy blankets were a bonus too!!). All of the facilities were cleaned every single day, the rooms smelt amazing, and the location itself was very good! We felt so sad to leave here- we absolutely loved it, and would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for somewhere to stay in Koh Samui! ❤️

All hostels in Lamai

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.

    Very great location close to anywhere in Lamai beach. For beds per room, every room got aircon and private bathroom. You can book cheap transportation to Surat Thani or Phuket. Tutu car to Chaweng costs 100B , remember to bargain.

    This is one of the best hostels I have stayed at an Asia. It was beautiful. The rooms are so comfortable, there is a kitchen for you to use and a nice communal area. The staff are lovely and always willing to help. I have nothing to fault with this hostel. It is also in a great location.

    The host was super friendly and really good at customer service. I was welcomed like a special guest and that left a really good impression on me. The Hostel had an amazing view on the beach including a terras facing ocean side. If you're a coffee lover you will also love this place because they have amazing coffee. The hostel also included a mini kitchen with microwave and a fridge for each dormitory.
