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!

A home away from home. Kind and caring people from the guests to the locals to the amazing staff. The owner is Superman! Peaceful, relaxing, one of the cleanest hostels I’ve been in. Respectful! 100/200m away from the beach, local smoothie lady is a must. Breakfast served around 6/7am from a local roadside restaurant. 7-Eleven is 5 mins by bike.

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! ❤️

The free facilities such as the pool, the ping pong table and pool table!! It was really fun and very easy to make friends. Their kitchen was also great and with good prices compared to the nearby restaurants. They also offered a taxi with a good price there, which was very useful whenever we needed to head somewhere :)
