    Hostel was amazing, the couches were very comfortable and there were beautiful posters on the walls. Satang and Cookie were amazing hosts. Everything was so organized and they were very nice welcoming and made you feel at home. There’s a projector up in a loft where you can watch Netflix, I was going to watch the “Roast of Tom Brady” but went out instead. Once again, the staff created such a nice atmosphere. We played board games with other visitors in the evening. The bed was comfy and I found the dorm to be surprisingly spacious compared to other hostels I’ve stayed in. Music was great, artwork, furniture, books. Everything you could ask for really.

    Great location, all of the staff were amazing but I really can't thank cookie enough, she helped me plan my trip and was always happy to offer advice. Nae was always keen to play Connect 4 and other board games with you if you had nothing to do in your spare time. Ill defiently be back before I fly home

    The second time stay at The cabin. Both times I've had a great time. The staff are incredibly kind, friendly and helpful. They always join in and get to know you. The location is pretty awesome. I'd definitely stay here again next time.

    The staff was very helpful and friendly! This is not a party hostel, but you can always socialise there and meet new people. They also serve food from the neighbouring restaurant and organise outings for the guests.

    Very friendly staff, clean hostel, nice comy beds, very nice outside area to sit and work, good location, wifi is working all the time, sometimes in the evening we had events like game nights, all in all it was just a very nice vibe and i felt like home. Just one thing: if you want to meet people and socialize this hostel is okay but maybe others are better. I mean there were many people but everyone seemed to do things on their own. When they organize Hostel nights then you can meet people. And also the staff tried to connect us together which was very nice. So if you want to have a chill, clean experience or do remote work, this is perfect.

    The staff here are absolutely amazing, location is great. Not too far from the party scene in chiang mai and close to other busy hostels. I have now stayed here twice prior to travelling to pai and after pai too. I came back to the hostel on my birthday where the staff came out with a cake and sang happy birthday. This was a really nice touch for me and would definitely be staying here if I’m ever in chiang mai again. The fact that some of beds are pods rather than bunk beds is a nice choice too. Thankyou for a wonderful stay cabin hostel

    The most comfortable mattress and pillows I met during my 10 days trip in North of Thailand. It was clean, not noisy, the rooms are huge which turned out to be really important. It didn’t feel like were was someone bothering you although there were others in the room. The staff is great. The location is superb. Thanks. After coming back to Koh Samui I remember this place as a good start for exploring Chiang Mai province.
