Situated in Chaweng and with Chaweng Beach reachable within less than 1 km, DK1Hostel features concierge services, rooms, a shared lounge, free WiFi throughout the property and a terrace. The property is around 5.3 km from Fisherman Village, 7.6 km from Big Buddha and 11 km from Grandfather's Grandmother's Rocks. The accommodation offers a shared kitchen, a tour desk and currency exchange for guests. Easily one of my favourite hostels I have stayed at. DKmama is the sweetest, always going out of her way to make sure her guests are comfortable. You genuinely feel welcomed as if you are her family and that is a very special thing. Met heaps of kind, interesting and fun people here. I initially booked for 3 nights but extended to 10, and so many people did the same. It's a testament to the kind of place this is :)

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.

All guest rooms in the hostel are equipped with a kettle. With a private bathroom fitted with a shower and free toiletries, rooms at Tian Ming Hostel also boast free WiFi, while certain rooms are fitted with a city view. The rooms have a safety deposit box. Very clean and the nicest staff and owner ever. Also a nice kitchen and a chill common area, just felt like a little second home especially when staying longer :)

Located in Chaweng, 200 metres from Chaweng Beach, Tnon Samui Hostel provides accommodation with a private beach area, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace. Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and a tour desk, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The property is 6.3 km from Fisherman Village, and within 2 km of the city centre. 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! ❤️
