I had such a great experience at this hostel! The location is fantastic—just a short walk to the beach and right next to a stunning temple featured in the first episode of the latest season of The White Lotus. Additionally, there's a charming café nearby called Front House, where I enjoyed a delicious breakfast every day. Their sticky rice is exceptional, and the cocktails/ coffe are a perfect way to start the day.​ The hostel itself is clean and well-maintained, with a relaxing atmosphere that made it feel like a home away from home. The staff were incredibly friendly and always willing to help with anything I needed. If you're looking for a clean, friendly, and beachside spot, this is definitely the place to stay. I’ll definitely be back!

The service provided by the staff and most of all Jerome were excellent. We got all what we requested and even the additional free breakfasts. All hotel is super clean, the cleaners are passing regularly and do a good job. The swimming pool is using a salted water system, which is ecological and free of chemical substances. The family room with big bunk beds for the children and living room with small kitchenette and TV was very comfortable. The kitchen and playing room (with board games) on the first floor. The coffee is just one floor down. Nice hotel beach and nearby beaches were excellent and clean. Free kayaks and paddle board provided by hotel. Good jogging routes around the hotel. Massage place and local restaurants nearby the hotel.

Super nice and kind owner. The lady who met me by the reception. It was nice to talk with her and she was super friendly. the room was nice. Big window so it’s bright enough during the day and you have AC and windows can be open from the outside And there’s a lot of space chair and table so you can even work with your laptop and the best thing, bathroom is just next to you,and almost 99% just for you. There’s a nice pool nice chill area with books , water refill station, little kitchen and the fridge so it’s basically everything just to settle down for a few days and enjoy your time.

The owners are very friendly and kind. They assisted with everything. A friend had an accident with the scooter and they took care of everything. Laundry service available. Good position. Powerful A/C. They could provide better cloth storage or a mirror in the room in the future, but they just opened a month aho and i think they‘re coming up with that.
