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. This is my favorite hostel in Thailand. I was planning to stay just two nights, but I extended it for 15 nights so far. Tharita is a very lovely person, like a mom for everybody, and this makes the whole difference. There are good restaurants around and a beautiful beach just 6-7 minutes walking, what else can you ask for?

All guest rooms at the hostel are fitted with a seating area. Rooms are equipped with a kettle, while some rooms include a kitchen with a fridge and a microwave. All rooms at The Rock Samui Poshtel Lamai Beach have air conditioning and a wardrobe. Was absolutely incredible Stayed as a solo traveller who has stayed at a LOT of hostels and this by far was one of the nicest ones. Very laid back vibe and all the staff were so lovely. It's a mixed use hotel with small rooms, the dorm rooms and villas so you will see a variety of guests from young families and young travellers. The outdoor spaces such as the terrace, pool and beachside area are fantastic. The area is really nice, on the edge of Lamai beach its a very easy walk or scooter into the main areas of Lamai beach and a 20 minute scooter to Chaweng or fisherman's village

At the hostel, rooms are fitted with a balcony with a city view. At Tnon Samui Hostel, every room is equipped with air conditioning and a safety deposit box. 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! ❤️
