Everything perfect, the best combination of a hostel and a hotel. Private beach (in my opinion one of the best on Ko Samui), yummy food, hostel rooms very clean, comfortable and sleeping there was really nice. Free drinking water for guests in the shared kitchen as well! Jerome helped with everything and I am so happy I spent my time on Ko Samui here. I truly think this was better than 90% of accomodations I’ve ever visited throughout Asia, and I definitely will be coming back here. 11/10

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

The place is lovely, clean, bright, and homey. It feels really comfortable, the beds are great with plenty of space, and the towels were really soft! Pannita is the perfect host, so sweet and involved, and always makes sure everyone is happy. She makes the perfect atmosphere, especially if you're a solo traveler.
