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! 🏝️

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!

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.
