By far the best hostel in Koh Samui! The location is perfect — right in the tourist area of Chaweng. It’s about a 10-minute walk to the main street where all the parties are, but in return you don’t have to deal with loud nightlife noise until late at night. ;) Tharita, the “hostel mom,” puts her whole heart into this place. No matter what you needed, she was always there to help. She also organized everything around the stay and arranged every transfer and ferry ticket at very fair prices. There’s free water, tea and coffee. The beds are super comfortable and beautifully prepared. Overall, it’s an extremely clean and well-maintained hostel! When I come back to Koh Samui, I will definitely stay here again! It was just perfect!

everything is fine, very nice, nice hotel, quiet around. The owner is very helpful. Right next to a beautiful waterfall with a nice route through the jungle. As the place is a bit out of the way, the owner offers free bikes and allows you to rent a scooter. also offers transport from/to the port. I recommend it

Brilliant location and the kitchy noodles theme was really cool. Beds were super comfortable with all the amenities needed to keep self sufficient in my nook - personal USB, privacy, reading light etc.

All hostels in Koh Samui

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.

I had an amazing stay at this hostel! The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, the room was clean and the bed was comfortable, and the atmosphere was so welcoming. Plus, the Persian restaurant was a delightful bonus. The flavors were incredible, the presentation was beautiful, and the service was top-notch. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a great place to stay and dine. They also have vegetarian options to choose from. There is a beautiful beach just a few minutes away and a 711 next door.
