All guest rooms at the hostel are fitted with a seating area. Rooms are equipped with a kettle, while some rooms include a kitchen with a fridge and a microwave. All rooms at The Rock Samui Poshtel Lamai Beach have air conditioning and a wardrobe. You can't tell how they do it. But from the start, the team of the Rock Samui will give you a relaxing and warm welcome to this little tropical paradise. Build as an tribute to the international series 'the flintstones', the Rock offers everything a traveller needs. Chill out places, a private beach to relax at and moreover a staff team that is interested in offering professional service. One my way back home i even revisited the hotel - it was so great. Therefore i can just say thank you, for your wonderfull teamspirit. May it be the endearing Chaw who has the empathy to share heartwarming laughs with good feelings. Yet also offers smart advice for your trip, professionalism when it comes to questions regarding the hotel and sharp comments - if you let her. The all knowing, almost tour guide niveau Gerome from philippines, who knows everything about the island Kho Samui. May it be the way to the ferry, the bus stations, the time of traffic or locations to eat, enjoy or meet friends. But don't forget about the rest of the team. The kitchen handles your order excellent. There are even fresh croissants every morning. Since i've been to france this year, they can stand the comparisson. Also it is very clean everywhere. Been in other hostels and hotels so far. Still, this one stands out. If you work a lot and want to relax, the Rock is your place to go. Of course bigger or even party beaches are just a shortly away. But who wants to go there, when you can have a private beach with your friends? When we were at holiday, one tourist even fell to the ground unconscious. The team called emergency immedeatly and even visited the unlucky solo traveller afterwards in hospital. In short: They genuinly care for you as a guest. Something, you can't find everywhere in the world.

With a private bathroom fitted with a shower and free toiletries, rooms at Tian Ming Hostel also boast free WiFi, while certain rooms are fitted with a city view. The rooms have a safety deposit box. Best hostel I’ve stayed at, the owner and staff are amazing. The beds are the comfiest I’ve slept in for a while and there’s a big common area that has beanbags, TVs with PlayStation 5s and plenty of fans to keep you cool. The hostel is also very close to everything you need, there’s a night market and 7/11 a 1 minute walk away.

Located in Chaweng, 200 metres from Chaweng Beach, Tnon Samui Hostel provides accommodation with a private beach area, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace. Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and a tour desk, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The property is 6.3 km from Fisherman Village, and within 2 km of the city centre. 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 hostel will provide guests with air-conditioned rooms with a desk, a kettle, a fridge, a toaster, a safety deposit box, a flat-screen TV and a private bathroom with a shower. Guest rooms include a wardrobe. My stay at Cottage in Lamai Beach was amazing. The room had a beautiful sea view, comfortable bed, and all the basic amenities I needed. The place is right by the beach and the atmosphere is peaceful and relaxing. The staff were kind and always ready to help with anything. Great value for money and perfect for anyone looking for beachfront getaway. Highly recommended!
