    Honestly this is one of the best hostels i’ve ever stayed at. It is not your typical “social hostel” but you easily find a good chat with a couple of people at night. There are some incredible sunsets at this place. They have an honor system at their fridge which I love. I truly mean it when I say that I’ve never encountered a better host than Gigi, she is helpful, kind and super forthcoming. There are cats that are very social roaming around which I personally love, and there is a couple of very peaceful, clean and cute stray dogs that occasionally come by. I can only recommend this place

    Amazing and welcoming place! Gigi the owner makes you feel welcome, helps you with everything and is always up for a chat. The food they cook is incredible! The facilities are clean and everything is in good condition. The place is right at the beach and nice for Sunset. Thank you so much for an amazing stay 😊

    Niks viel me tegen

    This place has been my home for the last week of my stay on Samui. It has been an absolute dreamcatcher indeed. Hygiene was beyond great hostel standards. All clean. All neat. Lovely beach and the atmosphere here is the one you look for when you want to relax. Nights are calm and soothing because of noise-regulation rules after 10pm and the food is great. There is far more to say but you want to experience it yourself. This is definately a place i will come back to.

    Only minor potential for improvement would be the dorm's curtains which don't really create a private environment. But that didn't feel uncomfortable due to the 4 bed rooms and the nice people that were staying

    Hostel is located in the less touristy part of the island. A beautiful beach and a very chill atmosphere. The owner GG and her team are incredibly welcoming. Scooter rental is available and very uncomplicated. I was staying for 3 nights and had to come back in the same vacation again.

    the bed could be a bit more comfortable (but all in all it was okay)

    One of the best hostels I've ever stayed in. The location is perfect. The hostel is situated at their own, private beach and the common space is one of the most pleasent places to spend time. I've stayed in single room, but the common bathrooms were really okay. The bed could be a bit more comfortable (but all in all it was really okay) and the lights could be a bit better, but these were just some super tiny inconviniences and the general impression is just perfect. The staff is extremly helpful, you can eat some delicious breakfest and dinner at the hostel with some reasonable prices. It takes only around 10-15 minutes to get to Nathon pier and the night market. There are lockers you can use to put some your belongings (bring your own padlock). I absolutely and totally recommend the place. If I will go back to Koh Samui at some point I will deffinitly stay in Dreamcatcher again. Thank you for the lovely stay <3

    Too many cigarettes smokers

    Seriously cheap, and good location. Actually booked it for my group as emergency backup option, thinking we would just no-show if things changed. But then we ended up staying there, ha ha. Fun to hang with the 20 year old backpackers for the night ( we're all retirees). They serve up some seriously cheap but decent food, also! There's da beach, some hammocks, and bean bag chairs to lounge in

    Relaxing without a care in the world

    If you want to stay somewhere close to the action on the island, this is not for you - it's really a place to wind down (which was perfect for me). The private room was a bit small, I couldn't unpack my bag well, but it wasn't a huge deal.

    Absolutely amazing place in a quieter area of the island. The host, Gigi, will take care of all your needs (I got injured and she was immediately there with disinfectant and bandaids, even sent someone into town to buy more bandaids). You can get good food there and buy drinks, etc., so you don't really need to leave the place, but if you do, the 7/11 is 2 minutes away and it's about a 15 minute walk to Nathon Pier (where there's a Night Market and you can catch ferries to other islands). It almost feels like staying at a resort except it's cheap and not tacky. The best thing to do here is just to relax on the beachfront and enjoy the mood. Most other hostel guests are very friendly and relaxed and you'll get to know them quickly (it helps that the hostel has a guitar).

    We loved it all.

    We stayed for one night as we needed to get to Nathon pier in the morning. This was a convenient location and great value. The beds were really comfortable and the food was amazing, at dinner and breakfast. Everywhere was beautifully clean. The entrance to the hostel is on the main road and it backs onto the sea, with its own small section of beach. The hostel's beautiful owner was very warm and welcoming, helped us to get transport to the hostel and allowed us to check in early, which was very much appreciated.

    Absolutely nothing! The most beautiful place with the most beautiful people.

    The property itself is situated in the most peaceful beautiful area of Koh Samui. The rooms are spotless, quite spacious, great air conditioning and the comfiest bed I have ever stayed on! Every morning there is a common area where you can have your breakfast or dinner with overlooking the sea. Right next to the sea. It was the best view I have I have seen to date. I struggle with relaxing but this property promoted calm like nowhere I have ever been. The showers are lovely and hot and bathrooms spotless! The woman who manages the property GiGi is the most beautiful kind hearted woman! She goes out of her way to make you feel at home. For example, she woke up early to make me and my partner breakfast today before we checked out. It was the little things that we appreciated. She organised all of our excursions perfectly! By the end of the stay we felt like part of the family. We only booked 2 nights and booked an additional 2 nights! We are sad to leave but are so grateful to Gigi and the team! They will be missed. We will return as soon as we can.
