Staff was absolutely amazing. They were so friendly and wanted to bring my creditcard when I forgot it. Really nice that you have a fridge and kitchen, i'm not used to that. Great that you can kayak and pool + view is amazing.

Very clean rooms, bathroom and common space. (2 shared toilets and 2 showers for 4 room, toiletries was available in the showers) Anjar (the host) was very helpful. He picked us from the Nathon harbor when we arrive and dropped us to Lipa Noi harbor when we are leaving and he didn’t charge anything for these. Microwave, free water, coffee and tea in the common area all day long and we love the peaceful feeling of the garden. The scooter that they arranged for us was in good condition. 11 points out of 10.

It’s a private room for a very good price. Moonlight is taking good care of the property and her guests. She is a delight to talk to. There is a kitchen and fridge for guests to use and a pool. The common area is spacious. The place is clear and tidy, very comfortable to stay at. It’s not near a big road so at night it’s quiet and peaceful. There’s the possibility of renting a scooter to get around more easily. The mattress is a bit hard, but there are special blankets available which she’ll put on top to make it more soft. It’s a delight to stay here.

I cannot rate this hostel highly enough! It is simply the BEST in Koh Samui. The staff, Wan & Piak, went above and beyond everyday during our stay, from helping us finding a rental scooter place, to asking how our day was, and overall just being such lovely helpful people, they definitely made our stay feel like home ( the fluffy blankets were a bonus too!!). All of the facilities were cleaned every single day, the rooms smelt amazing, and the location itself was very good! We felt so sad to leave here- we absolutely loved it, and would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for somewhere to stay in Koh Samui! ❤️

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.

    I had an amazing stay at this hostel! The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, the room was clean and the bed was comfortable, and the atmosphere was so welcoming. Plus, the Persian restaurant was a delightful bonus. The flavors were incredible, the presentation was beautiful, and the service was top-notch. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a great place to stay and dine. They also have vegetarian options to choose from. There is a beautiful beach just a few minutes away and a 711 next door.
