Situated in Chaweng and with Chaweng Beach reachable within less than 1 km, DK1Hostel features concierge services, rooms, a shared lounge, free WiFi throughout the property and a terrace. The property is around 5.3 km from Fisherman Village, 7.6 km from Big Buddha and 11 km from Grandfather's Grandmother's Rocks. The accommodation offers a shared kitchen, a tour desk and currency exchange for guests. The highlight of this hostel is the owner, DK Mama. This place feels like a home away from home while traveling. It’s a ten minute walk from the beach, a fifteen minute walk from the mall and other shops. There is a small market and 7/11 just down the street as well. The showers and beds are comfortable but not glamorous, don’t come expecting luxury. There is not necessarily a designated common room, but people socialize in the lobby. There’s a kitchen for you to prepare your own food. I loved this hostel so much, I extended my stay and am planning to come back :)

All guest rooms at the hostel are fitted with a seating area. Rooms are equipped with a kettle, while some rooms include a kitchen with a fridge and a microwave. All rooms at The Rock Samui Poshtel Lamai Beach have air conditioning and a wardrobe. Was absolutely incredible Stayed as a solo traveller who has stayed at a LOT of hostels and this by far was one of the nicest ones. Very laid back vibe and all the staff were so lovely. It's a mixed use hotel with small rooms, the dorm rooms and villas so you will see a variety of guests from young families and young travellers. The outdoor spaces such as the terrace, pool and beachside area are fantastic. The area is really nice, on the edge of Lamai beach its a very easy walk or scooter into the main areas of Lamai beach and a 20 minute scooter to Chaweng or fisherman's village

Set in Lipa Noi, 2.4 km from Laem Din Beach, Baan Hinlad Home and Hostel offers accommodation with free bikes, free private parking, a garden and a shared lounge. Boasting a concierge service, this property also has a restaurant and a terrace. The hostel also provides free WiFi as well as a paid airport shuttle service. The place is peaceful and beautiful, the owner super kind and helpful! The area is quite local but has still beautiful beaches and waterfalls. There are also great local restaurants very close. The owner pick us up from the pier for the check in and check out which was a real plus. The free bicycle rental was also very practical to move around. I’d highly recommend to have a break from the touristy and agitated areas of the islands.
