    Would be nice to have soap/shampoo dispenser in showers

    Great social hostel. Different mix of ages and friendly vibes. One of my favourite hostels in Thailand. It can be relaxed upstairs on the balcony as downstairs they usually play loud music but it gets turned off pretty early so you can sleep with no issues. The staff were super friendly and nice.

    It attracts party people, so the coming and going never stops. Get a bed with curtains and bring earplugs, or you won't get any sleep

    Laid back, good location, friendly staff

    Rent a scooter. You have to ask at the reception to turn the air conditioning down if it is not cold enough. Little storage capacities.

    Playstation and Wii were there for a variety of egames. Facilities are clean. Staff is friendly. Efforts are made to save energy and protect the environment.

    Because it was full moon I think I payed way too much for what the hostel gives you, I mean it’s a hostel…

    Everything was clean and in order. Location was great, there’s a beach right in front so walking distance. But it’s necessary to rent a scooter to go around the island. Good communal chilling area on the terrace to meet people. Since it was full moon they organized a family dinner which was perfect to gather everyone before heading to the party.

    The hostel is nice but there is only for female 3 toilets and 3 bathroom for 2 dorms of 10 ppl and 1 dorm of 4 ppl same for male. Seems that it's clean only once a day ( early morning ) so comon bathroom ( of women ) was really dirty. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Maybe it was because of full moon and hostel was full ! The mattress is super soft and was a bit hurting but when I said it to the team they said it's new mattress and offer me to change it ( see the team is nice ! ) but they didn't change it and I didn't want to ask because obviously I was sleeping there only 2 days. The outside alchol is prohibited in the hostel - neither wine even though they do not sell it. It's because they have a bar but the beer cost 80 bats and beer in 7/11 just few meters away cost 40.. and you are not allowed to put alcohol in the fridge ( not sure why if you are not drinking here ). Regarding the room it was OK but needs to put curtain also on the other side because I've paid more for a lower bed with curtain but there was curtain only on one side, the other side was in front of the door without curtain. it's better than nothing but still. The 4 bedroom are near by the terrace but noise is ok. :)

    Team is amazing ! They are super Nice they will help you for everything : I though I forgot my hat they replied to me and try to find it, they explain me main center of interest on the island, they propose scooter, taxi etc ! They organize also a diner for full moon which is absolutely nice ! Food is good and unlimited, they provide color painting and book the taxi for 300 bats all. Perfect to socialized. They have nice common areas : Playstation, plants everywhere, tables, games. Free water and hot water. I spend a good time. Tips : book in advance for full moon seems that they are always full !

    loved my stay here :) the team here will do their best for you to have a good time! Cee is the best! She made my stay so incredible and made sure I had the best time on the island. The water was also running the whole time without any restrictions - water for the shower is not an issue! In general the place was clean.

    not much privacy in the bunk beds, no curtains but okay. also the water was off a few times for long periods of time but I guess it’s nothing that the hostel can do about that

    There weren’t many people in the hostel but that was because there was no full moon party or jungle party at that time.

    This was the best hostel I have ever stayed in comfort and clean wise. The rooms were very clean and the matras was soft. They had a super nice roof/balcony terrace and a chill area downstairs. They had playstation with games, youtube and netflix. They also have free water, a fridge and they give you a towel. They have separate bathrooms for men and women, they we’re wonderfully clean. The staff was too sweet, the first night a stafmember lended me her scooter so I could go out to eat somewhere. Another girl gave me chocolate when I was on my period, such a sweatheart. And they helped me book my next trip (boat and taxi). It was lovely Thankyou!

    The sewage smell in the bathrooms at times was quite bad and some of the shower heads were not working great however saying this at the time we were staying the bathrooms had not been done up yet but the owner had said they were going to be refurbished so this may resolve those issues

    We stayed in this hostel for the full moon party and it was a place to go to for it because the owners host a family dinner the evening of the party, the dinner was a massive buffet and there was more than enough for everyone! You paid a very small price for the dinner and a taxi to the full moon but it was 100% worth it. This helped everyone in the hostel to socialise and make friends for the party. They also had sold buckets and gave the guests glow paints to paint ourselves with! The hostel owners were also really nice helpful people

    Only thing I’d suggest is curtains for the beds!

    Nice little hostel, owners were super nice and extremely helpful with tips and suggestions about things to do around the island. One of the bathrooms is being remodeled currently, but I didn’t feel like it was ever crowded in the one they have available! They have good communal places to chill and meet people as well, it has the making of a good social hostel with more people there.
