Super nice and kind owner. The lady who met me by the reception. It was nice to talk with her and she was super friendly. the room was nice. Big window so it’s bright enough during the day and you have AC and windows can be open from the outside And there’s a lot of space chair and table so you can even work with your laptop and the best thing, bathroom is just next to you,and almost 99% just for you. There’s a nice pool nice chill area with books , water refill station, little kitchen and the fridge so it’s basically everything just to settle down for a few days and enjoy your time.

It’s even closer to the beach than advertised, only 4/5 min walk! This location is amazing with some lovely local restaurants and coffee shops! This hostel attracts more mature travellers, if you’re keen to avoid overly young/party hostels! Also shoutout to the host who was super attentive and very approachable!

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! ❤️
