Aung makes sure that every guest is comfortable and is having a good time at the property. He is always available and willing to help with a smile. The property is really beautiful as it's on the beach. The rooms are nice and well-maintained, and it's also very close to the Raja Ferry Port. It's available at a great price, definitely recommend it!

The service provided by the staff and most of all Jerome were excellent. We got all what we requested and even the additional free breakfasts. All hotel is super clean, the cleaners are passing regularly and do a good job. The swimming pool is using a salted water system, which is ecological and free of chemical substances. The family room with big bunk beds for the children and living room with small kitchenette and TV was very comfortable. The kitchen and playing room (with board games) on the first floor. The coffee is just one floor down. Nice hotel beach and nearby beaches were excellent and clean. Free kayaks and paddle board provided by hotel. Good jogging routes around the hotel. Massage place and local restaurants nearby the hotel.

It’s a private room for a very good price. Moonlight is taking good care of the property and her guests. She is a delight to talk to. There is a kitchen and fridge for guests to use and a pool. The common area is spacious. The place is clear and tidy, very comfortable to stay at. It’s not near a big road so at night it’s quiet and peaceful. There’s the possibility of renting a scooter to get around more easily. The mattress is a bit hard, but there are special blankets available which she’ll put on top to make it more soft. It’s a delight to stay here.

All hostels in Koh Samui

Looking for a hostel?

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.

I had an amazing stay at this hostel! The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, the room was clean and the bed was comfortable, and the atmosphere was so welcoming. Plus, the Persian restaurant was a delightful bonus. The flavors were incredible, the presentation was beautiful, and the service was top-notch. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a great place to stay and dine. They also have vegetarian options to choose from. There is a beautiful beach just a few minutes away and a 711 next door.
