The service provided by the staff and most of all Jerome were excellent. We got all what we requested and even the additional free breakfasts. All hotel is super clean, the cleaners are passing regularly and do a good job. The swimming pool is using a salted water system, which is ecological and free of chemical substances. The family room with big bunk beds for the children and living room with small kitchenette and TV was very comfortable. The kitchen and playing room (with board games) on the first floor. The coffee is just one floor down. Nice hotel beach and nearby beaches were excellent and clean. Free kayaks and paddle board provided by hotel. Good jogging routes around the hotel. Massage place and local restaurants nearby the hotel.

Ajarn, the owner of the property, is an amazing person. He picked me up at Nathon Pier and right away we started chatting and I felt welcomed. The stay was great because, as an online teacher, I always need solid internet connection and I had it! Also, the facility is very clean, organized and Ajarn was always available to help, give recommendations and chat. I stayed there twice and I will definitely stay there again once I return to Koh Samui.

Everything was perfect. The host lady was very sweet. The whole place was clean, we loved the pool, the small kitchen and refrigerator came good on our 10 days trip staying at Ananas Samui Hostel. We loved the location too. It was very peaceful and relaxing. One recommendation, definitely need a scooter to get around the island. We had an awesome time and would come back again.

The best hostel I’ve stayed at in Thailand. Everything is perfectly organized - clean, beautiful, and spacious. Great coworking area, and the AC is on all day. Most importantly, the owner is incredibly kind and makes the stay even better. She gave me lots of recommendations and was always eager to help. I highly recommend this place!

The owners are very friendly and kind. They assisted with everything. A friend had an accident with the scooter and they took care of everything. Laundry service available. Good position. Powerful A/C. They could provide better cloth storage or a mirror in the room in the future, but they just opened a month aho and i think they‘re coming up with that.

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.

I had an amazing stay at this hostel! The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, the room was clean and the bed was comfortable, and the atmosphere was so welcoming. Plus, the Persian restaurant was a delightful bonus. The flavors were incredible, the presentation was beautiful, and the service was top-notch. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a great place to stay and dine. They also have vegetarian options to choose from. There is a beautiful beach just a few minutes away and a 711 next door.
