I had such a great experience at this hostel! The location is fantastic—just a short walk to the beach and right next to a stunning temple featured in the first episode of the latest season of The White Lotus. Additionally, there's a charming café nearby called Front House, where I enjoyed a delicious breakfast every day. Their sticky rice is exceptional, and the cocktails/ coffe are a perfect way to start the day.​ The hostel itself is clean and well-maintained, with a relaxing atmosphere that made it feel like a home away from home. The staff were incredibly friendly and always willing to help with anything I needed. If you're looking for a clean, friendly, and beachside spot, this is definitely the place to stay. I’ll definitely be back!

Very clean rooms, bathroom and common space. (2 shared toilets and 2 showers for 4 room, toiletries was available in the showers) Anjar (the host) was very helpful. He picked us from the Nathon harbor when we arrive and dropped us to Lipa Noi harbor when we are leaving and he didn’t charge anything for these. Microwave, free water, coffee and tea in the common area all day long and we love the peaceful feeling of the garden. The scooter that they arranged for us was in good condition. 11 points out of 10.

Everything was perfect. The host lady was very sweet. The whole place was clean, we loved the pool, the small kitchen and refrigerator came good on our 10 days trip staying at Ananas Samui Hostel. We loved the location too. It was very peaceful and relaxing. One recommendation, definitely need a scooter to get around the island. We had an awesome time and would come back again.

The owners are very friendly and kind. They assisted with everything. A friend had an accident with the scooter and they took care of everything. Laundry service available. Good position. Powerful A/C. They could provide better cloth storage or a mirror in the room in the future, but they just opened a month aho and i think they‘re coming up with that.

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.
