Nanda was the most helpful host I've ever met. He liaised with the airline when my bags were delayed and organised tours for me as well as providing excellent general info about things to do in Langkawi. He is an amazingly friendly guy and has a wealth of travel information. The room and facilities were well worth the price. The location is also very close to multiple restaurants, the beach and all the shops along the Jalan Pantai Cenang main strip. Thanks for being a wonderful host Nanda!

I spent 6 nights at the hostel. Nadia is such a lovely person and host, she took us girls out on different activities such as a wedding, we celebrated Independence Day, went to the beach and had dinner and barbecue. The vibe at the hostel was very chill and homely. There was some breakfast (toast&jam) but also a fridge for own food. You could use the yoga mats as you liked. I look forward some hammocks to swing in if I come back ;)

I had 1 night stay at Daryasmine, its a cozy and a budget room too, for girls, if u are traveling. The host provided a small kitchen, free laundry, free drinking water and offered sailing experience on his yatch depending on the monsoon climate. Oh, there is also a huge dip pool infront of our dorm if u're having a sunny day. There are some cute cats too, especially if you are cat lover. I made new friends with some of the girls inside the dorm from several countries. Thank you so much 😉

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.

    What a fab hostel! The staff were super friendly and helpful. The cleanest hostel we've ever stayed at and everyone was very respectful. Great common area to meet other travellers and a good setup for those wanting to work remotely. Great location - the night market is a must and the restaurant under the café was amazing for a cheap breakfast!

    The hostel was a great location, close to the beach! It was good value for money and the private room was exactly what we needed for our time there (3nights). June was helpful - we booked the mangrove tour with him and would 100% recommend (it was interesting and good value) and the bar at the back of the hostel was also good and cheap drinks!

    Chill and welcoming hostel in great location, walking distance to two beaches. June is the most friendly and helpful host ever! Also, if you are a cat lover, this is the place to be! The hostel is located next door to the best bar in Langkawi, Brian’s Bar, which is great for meeting people! Comfy beds and full kitchen. Great value too.

    Very friendly hosts. Common area was very cosy. Decently priced packages. Clean comfortable beds and clean showers. Safe spaces to store baggage and personal belongings. Strategic location, walking distance to Pantai Cenang and food stalls. Our first time trying a backpackers hostel and we were pleasantly surprised! Would recommend and come again the next time :)
