My friend and I really loved this place. The owner Sam really made us feel at home and did everything in his way to make our stay memorable. Aforetime has an amazing community and it‘s located right on a very beautiful beach which is a really nice spot to watch the sunset. Would 100% recommend staying here.

Staff was absolutely amazing. They were so friendly and wanted to bring my creditcard when I forgot it. Really nice that you have a fridge and kitchen, i'm not used to that. Great that you can kayak and pool + view is amazing.

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! ❤️
