Situated in Ko Lanta, 300 metres from Kantiang Beach, Aha Lanta Cozy Hostel features accommodation with a shared lounge, free private parking and a terrace. This 4-star hostel has air-conditioned rooms with a shared bathroom. The property is non-smoking and is located 6.5 km from Mu Ko Lanta National Park. Everything. Of the many hostels I've been in, probably the best: nice building with lots of bamboo structures, beautiful common spaces open to greenery, comfortable beds with strong unshakeable structure, nice clean bathrooms and all the facilities. And all of this seems to generate very nice vibs among quite, talkative and kind people. Unbeatable. I would put some hungers for clothes in the bed space. But, most important, I would led-lit or paint bright the edge of the step between the two levels in the rooms. Frankly unpleasant and dangerous when dark.

Set in Ko Lanta, 600 metres from Saladan School, Aloha Lanta offers accommodation with a garden, free private parking and a terrace. This 2-star hostel offers an ATM and a tour desk. The accommodation provides airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available. Well-appointed, spotlessly clean room in a charming little hotel by the sea. Five minute walk to the night market with lots of affordable food options. Peter and the entire staff were warm and welcoming, and responded to our needs and many questions with limitless patience and grace. My girlfriend and I felt as though we were visiting family. We absolutely loved and highly recommend Aloha Lanta!

Saladan School is 3.5 km from the hostel, while Police Station is 3.8 km from the property. Krabi International Airport is 75 km away. Just a few of my observations during my long stay here, of “travellers on a budget”. AKA; “checking in at a hostel”. Which incidentally, was delightful! The hosts here are amazing and offer help with just about anything and everything their guests need. Within reason!😅 Some people simply forget to leave their sense of entitlement at home. Some want EVERYTHING for free. Some were thankfully kicked out/called out by the owner for their rude and nasty behaviour towards the staff and other guests (hence some of the bad reviews for this property). Some guests audaciously threathened the owners, of leaving bad reviews, if they couldn’t get things their own way. Still, they were “politely” asked to leave by the owners 😅 An Italian woman in her 50’s, behaving like she had a reservation in a 5-star hotel. Demanding this and that. Very rude. She talked to the “staff” (without knowing they are the owners) like they are scum. Another woman in her 50’s, Dutch, huffing and puffing about other hostel guests hanging out/chilling and smoking in the designated “hangout area” (that’s the purpose of that space 🤷‍♀️). Also she complained of the shower room being wet (since it’s a communal shower room where people are in/out, it’s wet 🤷‍♀️) A young Austrian couple in their 30’s, washed their entire laundry in the shower late one evening, despite being asked not to, then hung it all around the hostel, underwear’s and everything for all to see (everyone is briefed on arrival about the water, drawn from a well starting to run dry in dry season, the simple plumbing system of the property and the no-tissue-down-the-toilet etc which they ignored) After being asked to leave, they suggested the manager should learn how to speak to people. A young indian female in her 30’s, complained the water from the dispenser not being chilled, even after being told that she can use the fridge, next to the dispenser.
