    One thing to note is that the air conditioner in the dormitory is turned off from 11 AM to 4 PM, so keep that in mind if you plan to stay in during the day. However, the common areas are comfortable, and the overall experience was still good !

    I stayed in a mixed dormitory, and it was a good experience. The bed was comfortable, and and well-maintained. What really made my stay special was the amazing staff and owners they were incredibly helpful, polite, and kind, always making sure guests had everything they needed ! Also The location was perfect, just a short walk to the beach and easily accessible to both the airport and the boat to go to other islands ! 🩵

    Nothing to fault.

    Friendly staff, in a great location for the ferry over to Ko Pha Ngan. The room was spacious, good air conditioning and a smart tv so we were able to watch Netflix. The pool is also of good quality with a complimentary table tennis and pool table. Lastly, they have a bar and serve large bottles of Singha/Chang for 70 baht which is the cheapest we’ve found anywhere.

    I wish they didn't turn off the air conditioning during the day (11:00 am until 4:00 pm)

    I liked everything here! Especially the staff they are very friendly and helpful. I stayed here for over 2 weeks, and then came back for one more week. I had such a nice time hanging out by the pool, I plan to come back next time I visit Koh Samui.

    There wasn’t a lot to do around the hostel, but since we stayed to relax it was perfect!

    The free facilities such as the pool, the ping pong table and pool table!! It was really fun and very easy to make friends. Their kitchen was also great and with good prices compared to the nearby restaurants. They also offered a taxi with a good price there, which was very useful whenever we needed to head somewhere :)

    Very busy street where all the shops are. Luggage storage is just outside of reception (no locked room or similar, but there is always staff around). In one shower there was no hot water.

    Huge chill area with pool. Easy to get to know other people. Freshly prepared food available at Bar. Amazing staff helping out with taxis, scooter rental ect. Comfy beds with privacy curtains. Super clean even in big dorms. Spacious dorms. I just chilled here instead of exploring the island, forgot there is a super busy area outside the hostel, since there is 0 street noise there. Very close to speed boat harbour to get to koh phangan and koh tao.

    No towel Very thin blanket and it gets very cold during the night due to AC so had to use my multiple sweaters to cover up Curtains on the top bed go only half way One night group of British people came in drunk late at night, made a lot of noise, vomited all over the room and disturbed 7 other people in the room. Although they cleaned the room it still smelled like the vomit for rest of my stay which was not very pleasant.

    Nice pool and socializing area Fairly comfy bed

    Not all beds have curtains on both sides, only some of them.

    Eventually I had read several comments regarding the location and eventually if it is a bit far from the "chaos". However, I found the hostel to be in a strategic location, on the main street and close to temples that are quite nice to visit, with 7eleven around and a gastronomic offer for all tastes and prices. In general you will need to rent a scooter if you want to make the island experience more enjoyable so if you do decide to rent a scooter the location will not be a problem at all. Also, the ferry ports for Ko Pah Ngan and Koh Toa depart from nearby ports in this part of the island. The beds are comfortable, although not all of them have curtains on both sides (some only on the right side) which reduces your privacy a bit. Regarding the bathroom, they generally stay clean. At breakfast they have cereal with milk and coffee, which is a plus. The staff is very friendly and helpful.
