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 :)

Ananas Samui Hostel features an outdoor swimming pool, garden, a shared lounge and terrace in Laem Set Beach. With free WiFi, this 3-star hostel has a restaurant and a bar. The accommodation provides evening entertainment and a tour desk. Moonlight was an exceptional host! The nicest person we've met in a long time, and that's saying something. Highly recommend this place. It's on a quieter street so you can take a break from the partying in the evenings if you'd like.

At the hostel, rooms are fitted with a balcony with a city view. At Tnon Samui Hostel, every room is equipped with air conditioning and a safety deposit box. I cannot rate this hostel highly enough! It is simply the BEST in Koh Samui. The staff, Wan & Piak, went above and beyond everyday during our stay, from helping us finding a rental scooter place, to asking how our day was, and overall just being such lovely helpful people, they definitely made our stay feel like home ( the fluffy blankets were a bonus too!!). All of the facilities were cleaned every single day, the rooms smelt amazing, and the location itself was very good! We felt so sad to leave here- we absolutely loved it, and would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for somewhere to stay in Koh Samui! ❤️

Located in Bangrak, Samui Backpacker Hotel is a 1-minute walk from a pier that can take guests to Ko Phangan and the famous full moon parties. It offers dormitory-style and private rooms with free WiFi. Honestly, aside from this being such an incredibly low price, everything was great quality. Rooms are kept well and renovated … our private room was well ventilated, clean and has been maintained well. The staff was super helpful, friendly and accommodating. The community is great. The food is affordable and good! Loved their smoothies and their Tom Kha Ga (one of the best Tom Kha I have ever had in my life). I was expecting to get something of lower quality for the price, but this hostel exceeded my expectations. I would definitely stay here again if I am back in the area. Thank you Samui Backpackers for running a great hotel & hostel.
