    Such a lovely hostel with friendly staff, social place but very quiet in the evening. I loved the welcoming and the fact they are always ready to help you with anything. Clean, quiet and comfy bed. Thanks a lot and see you next time! 😃

    Location is a bit far away from the main street, but the walk is not too long.

    Very clean, friendly staff, managed to book a bed the same day as every other hostel was fully booked, and very satisfied with the breakfast service.

    The toilet and showers can use a little more cleaning. The dormroom had a weird smell aswell, but that’s probably because of the amount of beds and mixed.

    Good aircon in the room. Nice little breakfast, close to busstop. Nice lady.

    Nothing but positives from our stay at K bunk, the staff were really helpful and friendly and the overall vibe of the hostel was like a community. They offered multiple events / excursion, we ended up joining the island hopping tour which took us around 7 different islands and even got to swim to see fluorescent plankton - a bucket list moment! Our tour guide, Joe, added a refreshing humour to the trip and was definitely the life and soul of the party, making the pub crawl one to remember- 10/10 would definitely recommend K bunk for fellow travellers!

    The property is a bit outside of city centre of Khao Sok, but that’s not a big deal at all. There is just one room with bunk beds and it is very comfortable. The owners are super friendly and funny. They help with all your questions about booking tour or transportation. And the breakfast is nothing special but tasty.

    I really enjoyed my stay. I booked a 2 day 1 night trip through them on my day of arrival and had the best time! The breakfast next morning was super good, eggs, toast, mango and pineapple. There are only 12 beds in total so you have a family atmosphere. The ladies working there are super nice and friendly, organized the bus to Phuket for me and pickup. Loved the animals that were there! Definitely would stay again.

    The staff were amazing, welcoming us like family and taking time to have conversations about both Thailand and Khao Sok with us. They were funny yet professional and helped us organise trips with ease. The breakfast was basic but filling, the room was clean and they provided towels.

    It was a bit far from the ‘center’ of Khao Sok. It was definitely possible to walk there but on the very hot day that we were there, we wished the walk in the sun was a little shorter.

    Everyone from the staff were super nice! They helped us plan an amazing trip to the national park as well as setting out our plans for the days after.

    It’s a bit far from the actual center of the town but on the other side you are closer to the main road so that’s cool.

    The breakfast in the morning was nice, the lady at the reception even though she doesn’t speak well English is very nice. The dorm is very spacious and you have big curtains that separate the beds, each one with its own power socket. There are several bathrooms and toilets outside the dorm.

    Such a great hostel! There's only the one dorm room so it's very small which makes it quite social. I loved the location - 10-15 min walk to the main town and national park area which mean it was quieter and very peaceful. Also meant you had access to some smaller, family run restaurants that you maybe wouldn't know exist if you stayed in the main "town". The lady running it is THE BEST. She's so so so lovely and helpful and friendly, one of the best hosts we had in Thailand. Her English isn't great but I always understood what she was saying. She helps book all the tours you might want. We booked our overnight with Our Jungle House but wished we'd booked it through her. Breakfast is awesome too. Hostel is amazingly clean. Nothing to complain about at all.

    The dorm room feels a bit like a hospital with wrap around blue curtains around each bunk. Beds are quite firm (but the same as everywhere in Asia!) And the beds wobble a lot when somebody moves in them. The dorm room is large (maybe 16 beds or so).

    Hostel owner was absolutely lovely. Very helpful and friendly. She lent me a drybag for my trip (which she also booked for me) which was much needed. The breakfast is the best free breakfast I've had at any hostel so far on my travels. Free, hot and cold, filtered drinking water available. Lots of puppies also made my stay even better!

    this was such a great hostel to stay at! perfect location in Khao Sok. right by where the bus stops: 10 min walk from the national park entrance; and about 5 mins from some great food places and bars. The family running it are so so lovely and do their best to make your stay as best as possible! the lady helped organize one of our day trips and made us breakfast every day.
