Staff was absolutely amazing. They were so friendly and wanted to bring my creditcard when I forgot it. Really nice that you have a fridge and kitchen, i'm not used to that. Great that you can kayak and pool + view is amazing.

Everything was excellent, service, room with an amazing terrace, location far from the hustle, close to the really local street food. We used the bikes as well as we rented a scooter for 1 day. Amazing place to relax and enjoy Koh Samui!

Everything, but mostly the kind owner who cares about everything at a high level of service. This is a very cheap accommodation, maybe the best you get for that price. I really can recommend it, 10+

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.

EVERYTHING!!! Sam and his wife are amazing, we really felt like family. Also the community and the people in the hostel are just spectacular. We’d always come back 🥰 Pick up and drop off to the pier is also available for a cheap price.

This is one of the best hostels I have stayed at an Asia. It was beautiful. The rooms are so comfortable, there is a kitchen for you to use and a nice communal area. The staff are lovely and always willing to help. I have nothing to fault with this hostel. It is also in a great location.
