This is my favorite hostel in Thailand. I was planning to stay just two nights, but I extended it for 15 nights so far. Tharita is a very lovely person, like a mom for everybody, and this makes the whole difference. There are good restaurants around and a beautiful beach just 6-7 minutes walking, what else can you ask for?

Definitely it’s one of the best places where I stayed for the last period. I was lucky and stayed there alone. This place is close to waterfall within 10 min of walk. All facilities need are provided. And the whole vibe of this place was like a miracle and reminded me Bali with its rich nature, amazing sounds of birds, the meditative atmosphere and calmness. No noise, no fear, all is safe, modern. Respects and gratitude to the owner🌸

It is nice small hostel far away from party side of an island. Lady and guy are taking good care of their guests. You can rent a scooter there - recommended. 10-15 min away 7/11, and few restaurants. Nearby really nice „Cool Bar” at the beach. Guy took us to ferry and show where to check in and where to go. If you look for peace and quite place its perfect.

This is truly one of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed in. absolutely fantastic! everything is spotlessly clean, and the shared kitchen area is really nice. The owners, especially Pannita are incredibly friendly and make you feel at home from the moment you arrive. Highly recommended!

The room was very comfortable and clean. It had all you need for comfortable stay. It was also cleaned by request during our long stay. Common kitchen well equipped, had mixer, microwave, toaster, rice cooker and gas stove with all utilities. I cooked breakfasts and sometimes even dinners there. Plenty areas where you can chill in common area. Good WiFi. Location is quiet and a bit distant from supermarkets, atm and exchange. But stuff was very accommodating and helped us with the ride for very friendly price. Also you can rent a scooter and it will be very convenient. There are few nice restaurants in a walking distance, beach is 400 meters from the place. It’s ok to swim in the evening, but in the morning time ebb tide is strong and you will need swimming shoes to go through line of stones to reach water. Overall we had great stay there.
