The location was great, it was by the pier, there are a few shops and restaurants around, is very close to the beach too. The beds were super comfy, bedrooms and bathrooms were clean, the food at the hostel’s bistro was great, freshly made. I also liked that a towel and the bed linen were included. The AC in the bedroom was fantastic! I also liked that the the bathroom was apart from the bedroom, it is great so you don’t disturb your roommates. The staff was super friendly and helpful too!

Hostel is super clean, the staff is friendly and taking care of premises all the time. The room was very well air conditioned, bedsheets clean. We didn’t have much expectations, as booked it very last minute, but we were quite surprised. They offered complimentary breakfast, water and free ride to the pier, which was very nice and helpful! Actually one of the best breakfast offered by hostels we stayed during our trip in Thailand.

Easily one of the best hostels (if not the best) I’ve stayed at. You can really see how much the owner cares about the communal experience. The daily shuttle to the beach/ sunset spot is great and reliable. One time the owner brought me alone to the beach on his scooter, even tho no one else was going. The staff seem to clean the place multiple times a day. If feedback is given about anything, they action it immidietely (ex.someone complained about the curtains being too bright and the mattress being too hard so they got new curtains & mattresses) I was lucky to meet amazing people while I was staying there. The place attracts respectable yet fun crowd. Many of the people were doing diving courses - Scuba Shack is walking distance from the hostel. It was easy to connect with everyone due to only 2 rooms and a welcoming, family-style common area. Beds & facilities all in great condition. Mini-breakfast consisting of eggs, toast, butter & jam is provided. Filter coffee & tea as well. Overall I loved staying in this place and I would gladly be back :)

One of the best hostels I have stayed in, I ended up staying here much longer than expected! It feels more like a home than a hostel, great people, loved the common area, had a good simple breakfast, its social but doesn’t consist around drinking/partying every night, the 14 bedroom is super quiet and spacious

We stayed here for 4 nights total, and the facilities were all great! Very clean, great air con, and a nice area downstairs to relax. We also did our PADI course with Buddha dive view so it worked really well with transport and all the other details being organised for us. Would highly recommend staying here as the staff and location are excellent!

The best feature of this hostel is the hospitality of the host. She is a very caring person, that makes you feel at home right from your arrival. Many people prolong their stay here. The other guests are also very nice. Perfect when you are looking for a social, but not loud party hostel. Matresses are also great :) value for money +++

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.
