    General cleaning when we moved in no was the best one tbh (the towels and duvet set was clean). No fridge, this can make a huge difference in this review at least. No kettle, but they sell coffee for 30bth. The bed was uncomfortable for a long stay.

    The location was really good, for what you pay compared to others in the area is ok. But if you expect something for the room, find a different one. Paul was really nice and you get what you pay at the end. Note: The street looks a bit weird, not too much light, but is a local area of house and no other hotel so you will be fine.

    The hot water in the shower wasn’t working and the bathroom didn’t seem to have been cleaned properly before our arrival, with clumps of hair on the floor. Also no cold water filter.

    Good location and room. Nice bed size and aircon. Friendly staff. Good wifi.

    The aircon made us sick The balcony was very dirty The hostel wasn’t like the photos like the communal areas were just the hostels office basically so it wasn’t a place we could chill like in the photos The pool table always closed From the photos we thought it was going to be by the sea but the water pictures are just a reservoir down the road

    The host was really nice Our room was a good size with a wardrobe and the bathroom had the right facilities

    The location of this hostel is great, 20 minute walk to the walking street, less than 5 minutes to the beach. The host was so nice and helpful with booking trips and has a good quality pool table you can use for free. There’s a fridge that you can pop things in too. It’s great value for money, we stayed 6 nights and would stay there again :) I would recommend booking the pink dolphin trip through this hostel to get a good discount! It was such an amazing day!

    I had an extremely unpleasant stay at this hostel and would not recommend it to anyone. First and foremost, the hygiene was absolutely unacceptable. The entire place had a horrible, lingering stench—probably due to poor ventilation and lack of proper cleaning. The bathrooms were filthy, the bedding felt unwashed, and there was a general sense of neglect throughout the hostel. However, the worst part of my experience was the behavior of the owner. He is extremely touchy and makes uncomfortable advances, particularly toward male guests. Even after clearly saying no multiple times, he continued to push boundaries, which made my stay feel unsafe and disturbing. I was shocked at how openly inappropriate he was. I would strongly advise anyone—especially solo travelers—to avoid this place. Koh Samui has plenty of other great hostels where you can feel safe and comfortable. This is definitely not one of them.

    die lage war ganz ok.

    I found the location to be unnerving as a solo female traveler who arrived late at night. I also thought the shower and bathroom situation were not very comfortable or clean.

    I liked the owner guy. He was kind and helpful.

    Nothing negative to say. Was a great stay!

    Owner was very friendly and welcoming. Happy to help with anything you needed. Location was great as just out the way of the main strip so noise was low and no traffic. Very good value for money for the location!

    This place is a Party hostel, for 2 days in a row in the night. They don’t allow you to rest. So noisy because of music and load voices and screaming. The staff was so rude after complaining for that. Party till 3am. The bathroom was so dirty. No clean properly. You need to call them to do the checkout because they are not there. Business not so serious. If you have the chance to other accommodation try to avoid this one.

    The bed.

    One of our beds didn’t have a curtain as described on booking.com no discount was given even tho it was only the bed in the room like this. Even beds with curtains only had side and not back or front. DO NOT RECOMMEND FOR FEMALE SOLO TRAVELERS! The walk to the dorm is different to find and in complete darkness not safe! We were given a fluffy blanket instead of a towel. No light in bed only socket. Big gap between wall and bed so many of my belongings fell down during the night. No barrier so if you roll and on the top bunk. Good luck! Very dirty bathroom/showers. Need a good clean.

    Bed was clean, receptionist was helpful. There was air con and bed was okay.

    Never book this hostel!

    Never book this hostel! The staff steal from their guests. My partner and I stayed in a private room where we had two burglaries in two days. We had 10,000 baht stolen by the receptionist and there was no way to get it back even though we knew it was her. The owner didn't care. He told us to go to the police, which we did, but they don't do anything about it. Furthermore, we were not the only guests who had money stolen. We talked to two other guests who had been through the same thing.

    Nothing!

    Had a gross smell that will stay on your clothes and things for awhile when you leave. Would be nice for the shower to have hooks to put your things. Privacy curtains are needed and so are good blankets - mine were falling apart completely. This hostel should be much cheaper than it is.

    Good wifi.
