Hostels in Ko Yao Yai

One of the best places I stayed sp far. Let's start with beautiful location, which is on a small hill by the road, surrounded by nature and no neighbours. Beautiful view wherever you look. The dorm was very comfortable, beds were big and clean (beautiful smell of the bedsheets). Very cosy atmosphere in the hostel, easy to make friends and feel like home, place you come for a moment but you want to stay longer. And last but not least, the owner of the hostel was amazing, super caring and helpful. Very responsive and always going extra mile to make sure the guests had everything the needed. She even booked me the taxi to the pier after I had a scooter accident, without me asking for it! That was very sweet and I appreciated it a lot!

Thanks at the owner for his kindness and the advices to discover the island

Location excellent, room basic but clean. Plenty of shops and restaurants in the vicinity and a short walk to Loh Pared Beach. It is not actually a hotel but called Boodsarin Apartments so no room cleaning during our stay, however, 2 bottles of water were given daily. There are about 8 - 10 rooms here and the staff from the Andaman clinic next door stay here too as some are working here from Malaysia. Everyone very friendly and it’s great value. From Klong Hia Pier (we travelled from Koh Lanta) it’s a set price of 600 baht to the area. We shared with a couple going to Santhiya Resort as it’s just around the corner.

Preeya made my stay perfect. She is the kindest person and makes everyone feel welcome...

Marina and her family is the most caring and attentive host I have ever seen in two months of traveling around Thailand. From the first day Marina made sure I didn't need anything, she taught me how to scooter, took us to different points of the island herself and was always available to help us. The hostel offers a free breakfast, Jim makes sure to respect everyone's preferences (sweet / salty / vegetarian...). I ate every lunch and evening at the hostel and the dishes were very good and super cheap (incomparable with the prices of the island) which helped me a lot. There is free water available as well as coffee, and tea. You can also buy fruit and other drinks! I also entrusted all my clothes for a washing machine and everything went very well, they were ready the next morning! The hostel is located a stone's throw from a small super pretty beach (my favorite on the island), and the path that leads to the hostel overlooks the main road with a supermarket a total of 10 minutes walk. There are also restaurants on this main road. You can rent motobikes at the hostel and this is cheaper than others of the island. Marina made a small Christmas tree and we took a picture all together. Initially I had only booked one night and I stayed there for a week. Magical !!

Pom it's the most lovely person at the island 🖤 always willing to help you , she is so polite . the place it's nice you don't need anything else .

Room was big, quiet, and had a beautiful view of the sea. Staff were friendly and offered everything that was listed.
