Located in Lamai, a 8-minute walk from Lamai Beach, The Rock Samui Poshtel Lamai Beach has accommodations with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a private beach area and a shared lounge....

There are luxury rooms with fantastic views and a solo travel part. I traveled alone and was looking for somewhere safe and unique. This place is where I will come back again for sure. The hotel offers a cozy 4-bed female room, and It’s a perfect place for solo travel. Staffs are also friendly.

Ananas Samui Hostel features an outdoor swimming pool, garden, a shared lounge and terrace in Laem Set Beach. With free WiFi, this 3-star hostel has a restaurant and a bar.

It is nice small hostel far away from party side of an island. Lady and guy are taking good care of their guests. You can rent a scooter there - recommended. 10-15 min away 7/11, and few restaurants. Nearby really nice „Cool Bar” at the beach. Guy took us to ferry and show where to check in and where to go. If you look for peace and quite place its perfect.

Located in Ban Thurian and with Grandfather's Grandmother's Rocks reachable within 5.5 miles, BBVC Hostel CollegeStay provides a garden, non-smoking rooms, free WiFi throughout the property and a...

Great place. Quiet location at a tourism, hotel management college. The college is a free college for under privileged Thai students. The hostel, restaurant, and hotel are practical training for the students. The service is excellent. the cheapest place I found on koh samui. A motor bike is key is pretty far from most attractions but they will book a motorbike for you and it will be delivered to BBVC. Also your money goes directly to funding the college. The food at the restaurant comes from their farm which another source of income for the college.

Located conveniently in Chaweng, Bad Monkey Samui Hostel has air-conditioned rooms, a terrace, free WiFi and a restaurant.

Goods: staff were super nice, the common spaces were very nice, the rooms were very clean, and the hostel activities were a great addition. Improve: no curtains around beds so no privacy, location was a bit away from most things and taxis are very expensive if grab is not available in that moment.

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.

    The perfect paradise, at the moment at a great budget as some of it is still in the making. Very friendly staff and smart management. And everything really is as beautiful, if not even more, as in the pictures. Also great location to chill I. Lamai, I was there for 3 nights and didn't even get a scooter

    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.
