Situated in Chaweng and with Chaweng Beach reachable within less than 1 km, DK1Hostel features concierge services, rooms, a shared lounge, free WiFi throughout the property and a terrace. The property is around 5.3 km from Fisherman Village, 7.6 km from Big Buddha and 11 km from Grandfather's Grandmother's Rocks. The accommodation offers a shared kitchen, a tour desk and currency exchange for guests. By far the best hostel in Koh Samui! The location is perfect — right in the tourist area of Chaweng. It’s about a 10-minute walk to the main street where all the parties are, but in return you don’t have to deal with loud nightlife noise until late at night. ;) Tharita, the “hostel mom,” puts her whole heart into this place. No matter what you needed, she was always there to help. She also organized everything around the stay and arranged every transfer and ferry ticket at very fair prices. There’s free water, tea and coffee. The beds are super comfortable and beautifully prepared. Overall, it’s an extremely clean and well-maintained hostel! When I come back to Koh Samui, I will definitely stay here again! It was just perfect!

The property is situated 28 km from Fisherman Village, 32 km from Big Buddha and 7 km from Hin Lad Waterfall. The property is non-smoking and is located 14 km from Grandfather's Grandmother's Rocks.

At the hostel, all rooms have a terrace. All guest rooms will provide guests with a microwave. The room was very comfortable and clean. It had all you need for comfortable stay. It was also cleaned by request during our long stay. Common kitchen well equipped, had mixer, microwave, toaster, rice cooker and gas stove with all utilities. I cooked breakfasts and sometimes even dinners there. Plenty areas where you can chill in common area. Good WiFi. Location is quiet and a bit distant from supermarkets, atm and exchange. But stuff was very accommodating and helped us with the ride for very friendly price. Also you can rent a scooter and it will be very convenient. There are few nice restaurants in a walking distance, beach is 400 meters from the place. It’s ok to swim in the evening, but in the morning time ebb tide is strong and you will need swimming shoes to go through line of stones to reach water. Overall we had great stay there.

The hostel is also very close to everything you need, there’s a night market and 7/11 a 1 minute walk away.
