Everything is perfect, quiet and peaceful, free tea and coffee, hot and cold water refills, microwave, clean rooms, beautiful relaxation area, warm showers. Right beside Hin Lat waterfall, if you have a scooter it’s a 5min ride to the town centre. Anjar is the perfect host, picked us up from the pier and is extremely friendly and accommodating. He also sorted out scooter hire and is just a really nice guy! could not recommend more!

It’s a private room for a very good price. Moonlight is taking good care of the property and her guests. She is a delight to talk to. There is a kitchen and fridge for guests to use and a pool. The common area is spacious. The place is clear and tidy, very comfortable to stay at. It’s not near a big road so at night it’s quiet and peaceful. There’s the possibility of renting a scooter to get around more easily. The mattress is a bit hard, but there are special blankets available which she’ll put on top to make it more soft. It’s a delight to stay here.

I had an amazing stay at this hostel! The place is super clean, comfortable, and has such a nice vibe. The beds are big and cozy, and the common areas are always tidy and well kept. Pannita is the best — always smiling, super helpful, and gives great recommendations for places to visit, eat, and hang out. She really makes you feel at home. I’d definitely come back and highly recommend this place!

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! ❤️

All hostels in Koh Samui

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.
