Jesús was a legend. Such a nice, friendly and genuine person. Honestly, it's a shame he wasn't around more (because as the owner, he's busy with many things) because every time he was around the whole place lit up. Great atmosphere and super good place to get to know people. 12/10

Bai and Piu were amazing at looking after the guests, and sorting out bookings for activities and the ferry to other islands. They were very accommodating and happy to extend my stay. I originally was going to stay for 3 days and stayed for about 9. It was a nice little hostel which could be social with a few shared areas, but not a party vibe, so it was nice to meet other travellers and ways to organise activities with then without going all out on hostel drinking.

Highly recommend! The place is in a central location, with an amazing view from the shared kitchen. The owner of the place welcomed me at 5:30 in the morning when I arrived and it is not obvious at all, the owner of the place is so pleasant and caring, making sure that she will be satisfied. I arrived at 5:00 in the morning and she welcomed me with open arms. She took care of me for a shower and a towel and soap even before I checked in. She was very nice and pleasant to me and to every other person who was with her, asking how everyone was. I really recommend it. She welcomed me at 5:30 in the morning when I arrived, brought me to take a shower and told me to check in later, welcomed me in a pleasant, very warm way, she and her team do everything to help and give a good feeling, the place is super clean, the cleanest place I have been to so far, with an amazing smell, the cleaner makes sure that everything is clean and shiny. The bed in the room was very comfortable, many of the beds I slept in were uncomfortable. In addition, there is a shared kitchen where there is bread, a toaster, coffee and eggs for guests and a shared refrigerator and hot or cold water from a machine.

Very modern and very clean hostel with a very social vibe. The area is a more calm and relaxed. Different activities and community events organized by the hostel. The staff is so friendly and welcoming. Planned to stay 3 nights initially and ended up extending to 7 nights. Best hostel I stayed so far on my thailand trip. Bed super comfy and very private. Big lockers in the room to fit in your bags. So no bags laying around in the dorms. Loved it and will definitely be back <3 much love!

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.

Beds were comfy, the common area/restaurant is a great opportunity to meet people. The staff is international and very social and accommodating. The owner hosts weekly events like movie nights or bbq, even though it’s a social hostel it wasn’t loud at night. When i first arrived i was handed a towel and allowed to shower, even though I arrived way before my check-in. Daily cleaning of the dorms. Perfect hostel for backpackers or anyone who wants to meet new people!

The owners as so lovely and so helpful. Beds were comfortable and clean and private. Facilities were great. Free tea and coffee and a fridge. Lovely little balcony area and in a great location, close to everything. Everything about this hostel is perfect. Safe and secure too with key fobs to enter the room.
