Just the stairs up but it is worth the view

We booked a dorm for two nights especially for the pool and hostel events. The location was okay, you do have to climb up and that exhausts you but you can jump straight into the pool if you want to. We loved the outside sitting area and pool. Crowd was pretty young around 18-20 age group so we didn’t mingle much. Dorm was nice.

Not as social when I was there as I expected having stayed at the other two Blanco hostels, but I guess that does change by the day.

Great location and a decent view from the upper bar/pool area. Stayed in a four person dorm which was clean and fairly comfortable. With limited options for affordable accommodation this was a pretty good stay! 4 island boat tour was fun and a great price!

I personally don’t like places with age restriction, I think is dumb, but there’s not much other hostel alternative at Railay.

Great views from the pool. Room was ok but it would be a good improvement if the beds had a curtain or something to keep private space (and some lockers).

The social aspect and location was amazing. The staff were wonderful!!!

No curtains, lockers werent great

Staff. Common areas

Room has no proper locked storage. The lockers provided under the bed do not work properly - they can be very much accessed even when locked. They also keep the passport as a deposit, I find this practice questionable.

The pool was nice and clean. Some staff were really nice.

Lots of stairs to walk up to get to the hostel with no other option, no curtains on the beds

Was sociable and good location. Bar crawl is fun

Stayed in January 2024

The safe/ lockers are very poorly designed and have gaps big enough for your hand

I liked how it was a very social set up, with a bar and all dorms around the pool, it was also very clean

Stayed in February 2024

For the price would expect curtains around the beds and some areas of the hostel were a little rundown.

Great pool with stunning view, friendly staff and good social activities.

There is always party music by the pool- all day long. It is difficult to chill and listen to your own music as you can hear their loud music no matter what.

Location, facilities, staff.

Stayed in February 2024

Only one bathroom between 8 of us, shower pressure was a bit dodgy so one section was really painful, no privacy curtains

Pool is great, staff are really lovely and get you involved, lots of stuff organised like muay thai and pub crawls, amazing view from our terrace (i saw monkeys through the window too!)

Stayed in February 2024

Maybe a bit better restaurant and luggage transfer support to pier

The stuff, the facilities

Stayed in February 2024

I went to a Muay Thai event the Hostel organized saying it was professional flights and I paid 550baht to see 4 fights. Sad to realize later that it was a scam for tourists because there were only kids fighting. The only adults that fought were kind of fat and not professional at all. I don't think the Hostel should promote this type of events because obviously it was a total scam. They also take your passport when you check in which is very weird and they only give you at the end.

Sofia and the staff were very friendly 🙂 The hostel has a pool and they organize events almost every night. Really good to meet new people.

stairs were crazy but worth it could use curtains on the beds

great wifi & workspace for remote work (digital nomads) Party hostel is down stairs so you can still be social but also have the option to chill upstairs And enjoy the music/company social hostel, easy to meet people comfy and clean rooms, air conditioning great provide towel easy to get to from the pier easy to get to the beach lots of restaurants and shops nearby

Staff seemed upset that we were not participating in their planned events. Cockroaches in the room. Beds were not very comfortable.

They promised I will have the same price than the night before when I booked on booking.com but it was way more expensive.

I loved it. The view was awesome and with the pool it couldn't be better. The stuff was very helpfull. It was very quiet in the rooms. There was every evening something going on and they invited everyone.

Stayed in January 2024

Mattress are too hard, curtains would be a good addition. They take passports on check in :(.

Reaching blanco is a bit of a task but the property is at amazing location railay west overlooking the beach; however, you need to go to railay east for swimming. The hostel hosts different activities daily to keep guests engage. I would recommend to book 4 island tour from hostel as it is affordable and super fun ❤️.

Have to pay for water but to be fair it must be expensive bringing drinking water to Railay.

Friendly and helpful reception, good room and bathroom. I didn't want to party and had a great night's sleep - partying wasn't compulsory!

Stayed in January 2024

The stairs are quite exhausting. I didnt mind the workout but you should walk carefully.

Nice place to meet people. They offer a boat tour which is good to meet people and they also have activities all evenings. I especially liked the pub quiz. The beds were comfy and the bathrooms were fine. The small restaurant included has good prices and many options also for vegetarians. I really liked that even though there are many social activities they will never prevent you from a good nights sleep.

The staff could give more explanation about what to do around, and offer breakfast deal apart from offered the partie's meetings Bathroom could have a bit better apparence for the price. The water wasn't hot, however the temperature it wasn't bad.

The pool and the views from there were amazing the best thing. Everything clean even it is a basic hostel facilities.

Stayed in January 2024

They retain your passport during your stay which I believe it is not legal. The price of the coffee is quite high taking into account that it is powder coffee and the breakfast is not cheap, compared to other places in Railay, considering this is a hostel. Long stairs up to the hostel.

Very kind staff. Nice pool and views.

Stayed in January 2024

The view from the hostel it's simply amazing!

Stayed in January 2024

Mattress of beds are really hard, could be more comfortable. Improve bathroom by putting curtains or glass wall, so not the whole bathroom is soaked after someone showered

Nice reasonably affordable hostel. Located at the outskirts of Railay. Staff is super friendly and it comes with a nice swimming pool. Lockers under the bed are nicely spacious Consider that it is a youth hostel, meaning many roommates go for the parties and get back late night. If you are there for climbing, you might consider alternatives.

Great staff, very friendly. Didn’t catch their name but the person wearing a beanie in 30 degrees heat was very helpful

Stayed in January 2024

The beds were very hard, the air con is only put on at 6pm which is fine if you are not in the room in the day but if you are it's very hot. The door in our room kept jamming so whenever anyone came in or out it was extremely noisy because it would take 3 or 4 attempts to get the door open. You had to hold the shower head as it would only point towards the wall whilst on the the stand. It's not the cheapest option so did have slightly higher expectations.

The pool and hang out area are beautiful the view is worth the climb up the stairs and its a super peaceful place to hangout. The staff are very informative and helpful and I like that they keep your passport safe whilst you stay. I also like that they inform you that it is a 10 minute walk from the East pier and send you lots of information on how to reach the property.
