Very clean and the nicest staff and owner ever. Also a nice kitchen and a chill common area, just felt like a little second home especially when staying longer :)

This place is an AWESOME little gem on Koh Samui. Very off the beaten path, quiet and peaceful with a super chill relaxing vibe. The pool was a lovely addition as well. Friendly helpful staff made sure I was comfortable and had everything I needed. I would highly recommend this place to anyone whether you're looking for a nice private villa or a super comfy dorm situation. The only "slightly" negative drawback for someone is that you "may" need a motorbike or rental car to get to it as it's a bit of a walk off the main road in Mae Nam. But with a rental you are SUPER close to "everything" including world class beaches in paradise!

everything is fine, very nice, nice hotel, quiet around. The owner is very helpful. Right next to a beautiful waterfall with a nice route through the jungle. As the place is a bit out of the way, the owner offers free bikes and allows you to rent a scooter. also offers transport from/to the port. I recommend it

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! ❤️

For those who want to discover another side of Koh Samui and get off the usual tourist trail. I recommend spending a night or two here, sleeping with the friends who live here and come from all over Thailand. Come and see what they have built. It is also a great opportunity to support the place and to see if the stunning south of the island Big thx to Mr. John which does amazing job 🌟

All hostels in Koh Samui

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

I had an amazing stay at this hostel! The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, the room was clean and the bed was comfortable, and the atmosphere was so welcoming. Plus, the Persian restaurant was a delightful bonus. The flavors were incredible, the presentation was beautiful, and the service was top-notch. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a great place to stay and dine. They also have vegetarian options to choose from. There is a beautiful beach just a few minutes away and a 711 next door.
