    Small room. But all worked.

    Amazing value for the location. Walk few minutes to some ferry docks Pool and pool table bonus. They added a converter so we can connect to Netflix. Many restaurants nearby.

    Nothing to do with the accomodation but nobody seems to wanted to socialise while I was there and as I solo traveller I needed that!

    It is reasonably priced for the room I had. Very close to the airport so if you have an early flight here would be amazing

    - room smells moldy - the service they offer for the airport taxi is a real ripoff (300baht for 5 minute drive) - aircon shut off during the day and room has no real windows so it gets burning hot in the room. I was in the room sick and it was absolutely horrendous - I slept in the right 10 mixed dorm in the first upper bed that’s right to a tiiiiiny window which can’t be opened but right outside the window there’s a light which is on for the whole night and shines right into your face when you’re in that bed - the curtains don’t go around the beds of the upper beds, just the head part which isn’t enough for full privacy

    - clean - Pool - nice outside area - restaurants, massage places, 2 temples and scooter places close by

    Since its so close to the Airport, you can hear planes taking off very loudly from time to time. a little far from hotspots like chaweng or other beaches, so be prepared to drive everywere. the mattresses are pretty hard, not ideal for side sleepers 😅

    the owners were suuuuper nice and helpful! It is conveniently close to the airport, so if you are just here for a quick stop to rest, its nice because it has a good chill out area with a pool. small shops are close and taxis and tuk tuks pass by often.

    AC in the room was extremely cold. You need a bike to get around. If you want to go to bars this is not the place, but getting drunk at the pool on soju is always a good alternative;).

    Was there on Christmas. Common area/Pool is great met a lot of cool people just hanging out there. The puppies where definitely the best part of the stay. Loved them.

    Ten points here, if not it's booking.com cutting out some of my review. 1. Shower water stopped running for twice in two days. They called a water truck but it took time. (-1) 2. Long story in a sentence, on the 3rd day due to what had happened I reasonably thought they mistakenly thought I overstayed and was very worried until assured by the owner on phone everything's good. (-0.25) 3. Lights on public area are turned off at night even though people are still active. (-0.1) 4. Bed light switch is too close to the socket. The gravity of your adapter turns off the light by itself, which means the light cannot be turned on long enough to do anything. (-0.5) 5. Hard to find electricity for laptops in most of the public areas. (-0.2) 6. Only one side of the beds have curtains. (-0.25) 7. Nothing much interesting nearby. (-0.1) 8. Even though I was told the hot water is available from morning until 9 pm, very often I find the water boiler unplugged. (-0.25) 9. No AC remote control given. AC always off before noon. (-0.25) 10. Annoying locker sound. (-0.25) Rating: 6.65

    Three points here, if not it's booking.com cutting out some of my review. 1 Bed is comfy, host is nice and always smiling, environment is very good, people are friendly. Provide breakfast of cornflakes with milk, coffee and tea during 8-10 am. (+10) 2. Have the option to pay by credit card (but costs extra). (+0.1) 3. Have the option to rent a towel but for 50 bahts (and 150 bahts deposit). (-0.5)

    There were no curtains on our bed, despite the photos showing this. We had to hang up blankets for privacy.

    The pool was excellent and we also enjoyed the pool table and ping pong. There is also a small convenience shop nearby with a fantastic bakery!

    the upstairs dorm room which we have does not have curtains, which is a shame. when we were there the pool wasn’t very clean for swimming.

    lovely space for the value and big dorm rooms, and a small brekkie of cornflakes with tea/coffee included. 15 minute walk for seatran boat to koh phangan or koh Tao.

    Dont like the fact they charge you for a towel, and also any onward travel/activities they seem to be very over priced.

    The privacy in the dorms was great, and the outdoor facilities where also really pleasant.

    I was in a bed just in front the AC that was SUPER strong... I asked them to maybe just lower the AC fan, but they couldn't, instead, they gave me an extra blanked, that helped but didn't solve the issue.

    Good outside space with swimming pool and some games...

    The only negative is about the general area. There’s not much to do around this area.

    the property is very clean with lots of activities and a great pool to spend your down time in. the staff were very friendly and the grounds were well maintained. The rooms and bathrooms were very clean, and it was overall a nice place to spend some time. The location was both good and bad. There isn’t much to do in the area but there are some nice cheap restaurants nearby as well as a 7-11. It was very close to the pier we arrived on from Koh Phangan (Big Buddha Pier), we walked there.
