All. It is very calm. You just listen to nature in the evening. Anjar does everything to make his guests happy. Unfortunately I could only stay one day. But I'll be back for sure.

It’s even closer to the beach than advertised, only 4/5 min walk! This location is amazing with some lovely local restaurants and coffee shops! This hostel attracts more mature travellers, if you’re keen to avoid overly young/party hostels! Also shoutout to the host who was super attentive and very approachable!

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! ❤️

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
