The bar was awesome, music with not too crowded. A place where you can smoke and drink which I found to be a rare case. The beds are great and comfy and enough bathrooms to accommodate a lot of people. I slept peacefully despite for which I am very grateful coming from Koh Phangan. And a big shout out to Samui, he was such a chill host. Definetly coming back!

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.

    Really really attentive staff, the homeliest we have felt away from home! Clean rooms and great location in Lamai, had a laundry service (colours separated) and bike rental available with no deposits. Even when we had a punctured tyre, they were quick to help and find a cheap fix for us even with the songkran celebrations. Will definitely be returning given the chance in the future!

    Very great location close to anywhere in Lamai beach. For beds per room, every room got aircon and private bathroom. You can book cheap transportation to Surat Thani or Phuket. Tutu car to Chaweng costs 100B , remember to bargain.

    This is one of the best hostels I have stayed at an Asia. It was beautiful. The rooms are so comfortable, there is a kitchen for you to use and a nice communal area. The staff are lovely and always willing to help. I have nothing to fault with this hostel. It is also in a great location.

    The host was super friendly and really good at customer service. I was welcomed like a special guest and that left a really good impression on me. The Hostel had an amazing view on the beach including a terras facing ocean side. If you're a coffee lover you will also love this place because they have amazing coffee. The hostel also included a mini kitchen with microwave and a fridge for each dormitory.

    If you are looking for a budget friendly accommodation that’s safe and clean this is it. I was travelling alone and found this place really welcoming and friendly. It’s close to the night market and to the beach. It’s cycling distance to Koh fit and Koh fight ( I was there to do BJJ). Loads of laundry’s and restaurants close by too. I would stay here again.

    A warm welcome and a great location, just over the hill from Lamai central/beach. My seaview room was spacious, very comfortable with gorgeous views. The protected bay is perfect to swim in with a fresh water shower after. Low tide walks along the beach, safe swimming and comfortable loungers. Perfect pool location. Incredibly helpful staff and owners. Scooters available if you need but I chose to taxi or walk back from Lamai Beach area. Safe, comfortable and a superb experience
