Everything was perfect. The host lady was very sweet. The whole place was clean, we loved the pool, the small kitchen and refrigerator came good on our 10 days trip staying at Ananas Samui Hostel. We loved the location too. It was very peaceful and relaxing. One recommendation, definitely need a scooter to get around the island. We had an awesome time and would come back again.

It’s even closer to the beach than advertised, only 4/5 min walk! This location is amazing with some lovely local restaurants and coffee shops! This hostel attracts more mature travellers, if you’re keen to avoid overly young/party hostels! Also shoutout to the host who was super attentive and very approachable!

The owners are very friendly and kind. They assisted with everything. A friend had an accident with the scooter and they took care of everything. Laundry service available. Good position. Powerful A/C. They could provide better cloth storage or a mirror in the room in the future, but they just opened a month aho and i think they‘re coming up with that.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
