Everything perfect, the best combination of a hostel and a hotel. Private beach (in my opinion one of the best on Ko Samui), yummy food, hostel rooms very clean, comfortable and sleeping there was really nice. Free drinking water for guests in the shared kitchen as well! Jerome helped with everything and I am so happy I spent my time on Ko Samui here. I truly think this was better than 90% of accomodations I’ve ever visited throughout Asia, and I definitely will be coming back here. 11/10

This place is just perfect. Out of the chaos but still close enough to get anywhere comfortably. Moonlight, the owner, is the nicest lady, always ready to help in case you need anything. Really really good value for money. And a good variety of choices of accomodation: from Dorm, to single rooms with shared bathroom, from single rooms with private bathroom, to private bungalows. I recommend Ananas Hostel to anyone coming to Koh samui and looking for a little hidden gem, because that is what this hostel is.

It’s even closer to the beach than advertised, only 4/5 min walk! This location is amazing with some lovely local restaurants and coffee shops! This hostel attracts more mature travellers, if you’re keen to avoid overly young/party hostels! Also shoutout to the host who was super attentive and very approachable!

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.
