The best hostel I've stayed at in Thailand. This is thanks to its owner, Tharita. She treats you like a mother and makes you feel at home. I recommend you stop by and talk to her because she's a lovely person and a shining example of self-improvement. The hostel is in a very quiet, local area, so you'll find reasonably priced restaurants right on the street. The facilities are clean and it's very easy to make friends there. Tharita can help you book any transportation or excursions you need. I'll be back to see my Thai mom, I love you Tharita, thanks for everything.

This is the perfect place to escape the crowds and truly relax. The surroundings are stunning, and the atmosphere is peaceful, slow-paced, and incredibly refreshing. The hostel team brings so much positive energy — they are warm, attentive, and always ready to help. They made us feel genuinely cared for and were happy to answer all of our travel questions. We also took the opportunity to hike to the nearby waterfall, and it was absolutely breathtaking. It turned into one of the most memorable highlights of our trip. This is without a doubt my favorite place to stay in Koh Samui. It’s conveniently located near Nathon Pier and close to my favorite beach on the island, Lipa Noi Beach. The location is excellent — about 30 minutes toward the airport and 30 minutes south — and the journey takes you through charming towns filled with great restaurants and interesting places to explore. The next time I visit Koh Samui, I will happily return to this warm and welcoming place without hesitation.

It is a great location, 2 minutes walk to the night market but nice and quiet and relaxing, very clean and new hostel, the co-working space has been excellent for digital nomads and more of a mature vibe. The perfect place for travellers who want to experience community and connection. The owners and staff could not do more, this is the best place for solo female travellers, very safe but also a home away from home, I recommend this place for long term travellers. Somewhere you can settle and chill out. Very clean bathrooms, refreshing clean bedrooms. I have also enjoyed the TV space and lounge.. Live football hangout, 15 minutes to big Buddha, 25 minutes to Chaweng beach, 7 minutes to Muay Thai classes, 4 minutes walk to Ban Thai (local food), 1 minute to 7/11, 1 minute walk to ATM, 5 minutes walk to Bo Put Beach, 6 minutes to Coco Tams.. everything is so local! I extended my stay 3 times because I never wanted to leave! The best accommodation in Koh Samui! Digital nomads this is the perfect home from home! 🏝️

This accommodation was excellent. The room was clean, hygienic, and beautifully maintained, and the balcony was a great bonus. As the hotel is located near clubs, it can be a bit louder at night, but this is absolutely manageable—once the doors and balcony are closed, it’s quiet enough to sleep peacefully. The staff, the owner, and his partner were exceptionally friendly and helpful. When I had an infected wound on my leg, they recommended a good hospital and an affordable pharmacy and regularly checked on how I was doing. They also offered first-aid supplies and asked if we needed anything. I have rarely experienced such genuine hospitality. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this hotel.

Nele (the event promoter) did a great job making sure to inform the guest about events and that everyone feels included. Near to the party hotspot but still a quiet hostel. The food is amazing!

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.
