Everything was excellent, service, room with an amazing terrace, location far from the hustle, close to the really local street food. We used the bikes as well as we rented a scooter for 1 day. Amazing place to relax and enjoy Koh Samui!

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!

During my stay in Ko Samui, I was lucky enough to choose Hi Samui, and I can honestly say it’s one of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed in. The place is modern, welcoming, and impeccably maintained: spotless rooms, comfortable beds, and common areas perfect for relaxing, working, or meeting other travelers. The location is ideal: close to the beach, convenient to all essential services, and the perfect base for exploring the island without stress. But the real highlight of Hi Samui is the staff. The team is simply outstanding: friendly, warm, always smiling, and genuinely helpful. They welcome you with a kindness that’s rare to find while traveling, offering honest recommendations on what to see, where to eat, and how to get around. From the very first moment, they make you feel like part of their little family, creating an atmosphere that’s truly special and unforgettable. To the whole team: thank you for the energy, care, and dedication you put into your work every single day. You made my stay in Ko Samui truly exceptional. If you’re looking for a place that feels like home even on the other side of the world, Hi Samui is the perfect choice. I can’t wait to come back!

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.
