Некомфортно.

Staff is ok

Очень шумно! В хостеле каждый день вечеринки до 00:00. Напротив хостела находится бар, где громкая музыка и басы до 3 часов ночи. Также хостел находится прямо около главной дороги- шум от транспорта ежесекундно. Всё очень старое. Рваное. Очень темно в номере- из всех ламп на потолке светят только 2. Везде паутина. Напротив кровати огромное зеркало во всю стену - спать некомфортно. Всё ветхое и держится на одном шурупе.

Would not come back, even for the low price

The only reason we booked this place was the the very low price offer we managed to find. Location is okay, fairly close to the pier, there is an okay beach nearby, some bars and restaurants.

The place is run by many volunteers, the ones we dealt with were utterly unprofessional, there was an ongoing issue with people coming in and being assigned beds that were already taken, the staff member came up with a solution as follow: "f*ck it dude take whichever bed you want". Sketchy people kept coming in and out, there was no way to know who was actually meant to stay in our room. As for the low price, these things would have been acceptable, but not the lack of hygiene standards, specifically in the bathrooms -no hand soap either. ridiculously uncomfortable beds. Also brace yourself for loud music playing at night and no bedside lamps in the room, meaning it's either pitch black or eo bright that you'll end up waking everyone in the room. Organisation was a joke as well as no proper lockers, seriously they couldn't invest in furniture and used building blocks instead.

Preisleistung absolut Okey, den Rest nimmt man hin.

Das Einzelzimmer das ich gebucht hatte, war wirklich in Ordnung, da gibt es nichts zu bemängeln. Der Balkon war ideal gelegen, dass man auf der Straße direkt die Unfälle beobachten kann und die Party mit erleben, aus sicherer Entfernung. Wer jeden Abend Party machen will, der kann mit feiern, auch OK...

...aber das geteilte Badezimmer war nicht so nett, als ich duschen wollte lag die Klobrille unter der Dusche und jemand hatte Spaß dabei das Toilettenpapier im Bad zu verteilen... das wurde leider auch nicht mehr während meiner Abwesenheit gereinigt.

It's was a great experience, definitely recommend.

It's a party hostel, it's fun there are a lot of activities to do at the hostel itself. The location is great, everything u need is 5mins walk away.

Since it's a party hostel it's not really quiet, as loud music starts playing in the morning and the sound can be heard even with the rooms shut.

No room at the inn

Sadly when I showed up to the property they told me it was fully booked even though I booked through the booking app. They said that in the fine print somewhere it says to call up the property and pay in advance. When I asked for them to show me where this was mentioned in the listing they couldn’t find it.

Again? Not sure…

It is a party hostel. In off season dont expect more. During special events on the island, hostel gets crowded. Music starts early until the midnight. So basicly if your room near the speaker, you definetly wont sleep at all. Over all, it’s cheap for a stay. Staff was friendly. Room were clean but not too much.

There are a lot of cockroaches. It is 3.5 km far away from the ferry so you have to get in taxi (100 baht/per) or need to rent a bike.

Love island vibes hostel with great facilities

Wow this hostel has everything! Food, drinks, all sorts of drinking games, large social areas, pool and entire sports facility. I couldn’t believe how cheap it was for the price. It also had the best pad Thai that I had in Thailand. Organised beer pong tournament was fun! Short walk to 7-11 (don’t go to the one at the petrol station if after alcohol).

Drinks a bit pricey. The location was isolated and taxis on this island are 150 bahtt to go even 5 min drive and doesn’t matter how many people you have in group. The pool would be even better if cold!

Good party hostel with great people and kind staff, some small stuff could’ve been better.

Great people staying there, good vibes all around and nice activities to do there. Also hosted beer pong tournament there.

Didn’t have that warm water when I showered, might have just been temporary. No view out in the dorm I stayed in but saw that other private rooms had so there’s that, if you want the view and ok w paying a bit more I believe

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the swimming pool, pool table and the football pitches were nice and communal.

This was the most expensive place we booked on our trip and by far the most awful. The whole place was awful. we ordered food which took an hour and a half to come and staff were rude when we asked them where it was. The water in the showers and the sink came out orange and stunk like sewage so we had to spend a lot of money on bottled water just to clean ourselves. The bed had hairs all over it and especially on the pillows when we arrived which was gross. The bathroom was also very dirty and not clean at all. The doors to the rooms didn’t shut properly so bugs very easily flew into the rooms and attacked us all night (this happened especially in the dorms, but we had a private room of which it happened too). We did laundry at the hostel, some of our clothes were missing, we had other people’s clothes and clothes were all discoloured and washed together even though we had separated them into colours. There was no refund given for the washing for any of this. I booked a ferry ticket through the hostel as I left early due to it being so awful and they gave me a ticket for the wrong date so when I arrived at the ferry port it could not be used.

Very poor

Stayed 1 night, planned to extend for longer but they had no running water when I was there. Couldn’t shower and brush my teeth and the toilets were disgusting filled with unflushed waste. The pool had been drained and couldn’t be used. didn’t have a nice atmosphere at all

Did not enjoy my stay

None

Bugs all around the place and in the room!! Horrible shower, the water has a weird smell! Made me nauseous. Supposed to be a party place but isn’t! AC didn’t work so they switched our room. Everything costs extra money.

Bad

location

I can write a whole page about what was wrong, and I'm not even talking about cleanliness or expired food they sold me at the bar and then asked me to pay for it.. I'll just say this hostel made me feel so much uncomfortable in every possible way, as a woman , and as a person. I took a taxi to the other side of the island at 12 at night, it was unbearable
