    Directly at the beach and lots of nice places to chill and relax. The hostelcafe cooks delicious! Perfect place to chill on Koh Samui! Also relatively close to Na Thon pier. For exploring you should rent a scootee!

    No public transport or grab possible at the location. Long way from the Nathorn pier but closer to the Lipa Noi pier. Advice taking the Raja ferry to the Lipa Noi pier. No toiletries provided. No shower gel, shampoo.

    Chill Inn located on lipa noi beach. Excellent beach,clean calm waters. The beach cafe pretty good. The staff at the front desk,thank Akhrar and all the front desk staff for all the assistance. The room cleaning staff do a good job, little more attention to the wash rooms required. Balcony in the rooms is a plus.

    No lights by the beds, and it was difficult to get out of the place (no grabbike all over tle island), no collective transport going through Lipa Noi, quite expensive taxi service).

    How close to the beach it was, and that it was chill and relaxed all over. The staff was super friendly - superb service. Welcome ice tea ans cold towel, they walk you to your room with an umbrella over your head to protect from the sun. The room was clean and spacious. White, fresh bed lining, a towel was provided..

    One thing that could improve is the number of bathrooms. There's only three showers/toilets for the whole hostel and that's too little. You'll be waiting to take a shower in the "rush hour". I hope they will fix that in the future.

    Really nice hostel for those seeking a more relaxed stay without the party. It's a really nice location with a nice and - first and foremost - clean beach. They have two houses where they have dorms and one is right at the beach and the other one just across the road. It's about 100m to the beach from the other house. There are some restaurants around if you wouldn't like to eat in their own restaurant. The beds are pretty big and the house itself has a quite luxurious feel to it. It's worth a visit if you need some tranquil time! You won't regret it.

    I only miss privacy curtains on the beds.

    The place is very clean and tidy. Toilets and bedrooms were always clean. I saw the housekeeper cleaning the bedroom and she did it very carefully. The place has a beach bar, where it is possible to get breakfast, lunch, dinner or just a beer for a very reasonable place. It's possible to have the meals admiring the beach. It's very quiet, perfect for relaxing. The beach is very calm and has clear water. It's not a negative point, only a consideration to new guests about the location. The place is a little far from busy areas, so to do anything outside it's necessary to take a taxi ou rent a motorbike. Without this it is almost impossible to go anywhere, because the island is big and places are far.

    The room was quite small and hat a lot of glass fronts. We had to draw the curtains all day to have privacy since the kitchen was close by. The bathrooms were spare and some were used by cafe guests as well. If you stay longer you will need a scooter since there is not a lot close by.

    The staff was really friendly and helpful. There was water dripping from the AC and they immediately called someone to fix it. The hostel is directly at the beach and has a nice beach cafe and a little store attached. Very quiet and relaxed area.

    In general, the hostel is located in a more rural area (next 7/11 is 1.7km away) and you need a motorbike to get around. Which isn’t bad, but just something to consider. I really missed the curtains on the bunk beds. During my stay of three nights, the floor in the dorm was not cleaned once. Therefore it was very sandy.

    The hostel is at the beachfront which was really nice. Also the restaurant serves good food, I ate there one of the best red curries in Thailand.

    People clearly not staying here using the sunbeds all day after buying a couple of snacks. However, it was Chinese New Year week so maybe there were more people about than usual

    Nice location, on the beach. People say there is nothing nearby, however there are about 7 good restaurants within walking distance. Best one was the Australian breakfast place and one called.Mama Thai.

    Bathroom deserved a good deep clean. No lounge to sit and chill apart of ouside chairs. Bed had no courtains and not enough electric plugs for all.

    Morning yoga classes are in neighbouring resort. I stayed in hostel which is on opposit side of road to café. Location was perfect, very chill vibes.

    The receptionist didn’t understand anything, like literally anything. The food at the cafe was expensive and really not worth the money. Luckily there was Mom’s Café near by, which was great.

    Great location, right at the beach. Lots of places to chill there in the shade. The dorm was good to stay in, aircon, comfy beds. Lots of space

    The location is a bit on the more rural side so if you’re a city person this might not be the most ideal place. Showers and bathrooms could be kept cleaner. I experience being devoured bed bugs here, however, their staff were very kind and supportive. They understood my concerns, offered medication and were deeply apologetic. I kept saying it’s okay and they said “no it’s not” and validated my concerns. I can tell they are very understanding and will ensure this doesn’t happen in the future.

    Property is right by the beach! Perfect for sunsets! The staff were really kind. They even spoke a bit of Japanese! They provided me the best methods to get around and made sure I was comfortable! They are very kind and understanding to all concerns.
