Kerton Hostel

Lamai City Centre, Lamai

Set in Lamai, 200 metres from Lamai Beach, Kerton Hostel offers accommodation with a shared lounge, free private parking and a restaurant. The property is located 2 km from Rocky's Beach, 2.8 km from Silver Beach and 2.2 km from Grandfather's Grandmother's Rocks. The accommodation provides a shared kitchen and a 24-hour front desk for guests. Very friendly staff, big rooms and comfortable beds, I liked the stairs to the top bunk rather then a ladder. Had a bathroom in our room that was always serviced. Great location in the middle of Lamai shops with a 2 minute walk to the beach

Baan Hinlad Home and Hostel

Lipa Noi

Located in Koh Samui, Baan Hinlad Home and Hostel has a garden. Free WiFi is available and in-house parking is provided.

All units at the hostel are equipped with a seating area. The units have a shared bathroom. Beautiful and peaceful place, far enough from the crowds but not so far from the beach by motorbike. You can rent a motorbike directly at your accommodation, ask in Anjar. Anjar, the owner, is the kind of person you are really happy to meet on your trip. Perfect from the start to the end of your stay. He comes directly to the pier and takes you through your accommodation and does the same when you leave, free of charge. He is always available to give you advice and help, always smiling. This guy is a legend! I wish you the best for the future, thank you again my friend!

Chill Inn Lamai Hostel & Beach Cafe

Koh Samui

Chill Inn Lamai Hostel & Beach Cafe features a garden, shared lounge, a terrace and restaurant in Koh Samui. 500 metres from Rocky's Beach and 1.3 km from Natien Beach, the property provides a bar and a private beach area. The accommodation offers nightclub and free WiFi throughout the property. I can’t say enough good things about Chill Inn Lamai. They have bike rentals right on the property so getting around is a breeze for travellers, the facilities are clean comfortable and cold in the summer heat. Lamai Beach brings the most laid back of travellers and the bar and surrounding area on the property are both beautiful and comfortable. The staff are super happy and extremely helpful. Tours, hotel transfers and rides around Koh Samui are all available in the main office and the food available is wonderful along with 20% off of cocktails for guests. I have stayed here 2 times over my visit to Thailand and I had gone through a traumatic experience on Koh Samui off of the property. While I was in the hospital the manager Rob and staff helped me out as much as possible by helping me book rooms, watching my bag for me while I was in the hospital and always helping me with my bags. Chill in has been the best hostel I have stayed in for a laid back, comfortable backpacking experience. If you’re tired of the hustle and bustle of beautiful Thailand Chill Inn Lamai is the place for you to sit back, relax and paddleboard or kayak on the ocean with the equipment freely available. Thanks Rob and Team for ensuring my stay at Chill Inn Lamai was wonderful. I’ll be looking forward to staying with you in the future!
