I had an amazing stay at this hostel! The place is super clean, comfortable, and has such a nice vibe. The beds are big and cozy, and the common areas are always tidy and well kept. Pannita is the best — always smiling, super helpful, and gives great recommendations for places to visit, eat, and hang out. She really makes you feel at home. I’d definitely come back and highly recommend this place!

All hostels in Koh Samui

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.
