    It wasn’t very social able and felt more of a hotel then hostel. Luckily was staying with my friend otherwise would’ve felt lonely. Walls were pretty thin and could hear people in their room closing doors but wasn’t a huge problem as was quiet when we stayed

    Was mostly clean and the size of the room was good.

    Their reception/restaurant was the biggest mess I've ever seen in a ho(s)tel. Trash and stuff everywhere. Room was very small for 2 people. It's not a social hostel. Staff was friendly but couldn't help with simple questions. Khao Lak in general is not my kind of place. Mostly older people that stay in big resorts.

    The bed was comfortable. Shower was good. Location is ok, close to the beach.

    The entrance is a bit messy. The room could be a bit bigger. But again, great value for what is offered.

    Great value for money :D Room with cute decoration, AC, hair dryer. Towels, soap, water bottles are provided. Good location, 5 min to the beach, 10 min to town center and bus stop. Everything you could ask for :)

    Staff was not friendly, we felt like a burden to them. Asking for laundry or anything else seemed always to be a problem Receptionist was sleeping when we arrived at around 5pm, we didn't wake her up and waited until she woke up after around 15 minutes, we felt like we disturbed her. I think this place is supposed to be a restaurant and then they decided to open a hostel without knowing there is a certain kind of friendliness and service involved. The room has no windows, it's quite dark and the air ventilation system doesn't really affect the air quality which was quite bad. There is not much space in the room for backpacks or your personal belongings. I didn't get the necessity of the chair, it just takes away more space and I can't think of any situation I would like to sit on a chair in such a small room. Beds were not very comfortable. You can hear everything from outside and the surrounding rooms in your room We woke up several times in the middle of the night, at around 3am, because people came home late and started talking in the rooms. Not their fault, but I think it's worth knowing. WiFi was okay but not very good Most of the staff around doesn't speak much English, which makes it even more difficult to communicate. It's okay for one night but I would not recommend staying there longer

    AC was working well Netflix on the TV

    Too many people smoking weed noise of a night time from other rooms main door to bedroom from hallway didn’t close properly gaps all the way round it big bowl of water on in the hallway outside the room dripping all night empty when you go into your room of an evening full up in the morning water dripping all the time, holes in the bedsheets holes in the towels I could go on forever.

    No glass mirror in the bathroom dirty area in shower area mould no tiles on the floor in the main bedroom or carpets or mats windows didn’t work correctly. The walls are just better. Sand Cement polished dust on the doors as you come in on the back of the door on the ledges the shower door didn’t close had a major gap at the top no safe no tea or coffee Metal re bars for hanging your clothes only free hangers generally just the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in my life and I’m 68 years old shocked

    I was disappointed the room did not have a window. Host said he could not change rooms that night but could the next day. I declined as didn't want hassle of moving rooms. Cleaning staff started entering my room without knocking which was annoying. On checkout, staff had difficulty understanding that I wanted someone to bring my heavy duffle bag down from second floor. Sometimes there was no staff available downstairs. A female from next door would try to assist but wasn't very helpful. The other problems were due to other guests. One guest was frequently smoking at a table by the entryway so that I had to inhale his toxic fumes when walking in and out. Males in room opposite mine had their door open and the TV on extremely loudly. I informed the host and he said he would talk to them.

    Place was only a few minutes walk to beach and restaurants. Free filtered water available in restaurant. Wifi was ok. Hot water in shower. Host arranged transport from airport and to my next town.
