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. 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🌸

Set 300 metres from Taling Ngam Beach, TRIBE by Aforetime offers rooms with air conditioning in Amphoe Koh Samui. The property is situated 28 km from Fisherman Village, 32 km from Big Buddha and 7 km from Hin Lad Waterfall. The property is non-smoking and is located 14 km from Grandfather's Grandmother's Rocks.

At the hostel, all rooms have a terrace. All guest rooms will provide guests with a microwave. 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.

At the hostel, rooms are fitted with a balcony. The shared bathroom is equipped with a bidet and free toiletries. 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! ❤️
