Dirty and dark. In the middle of the night there was music. Some towels got mussing and they had to pay for it.

This was the worst hostel I’ve ever stayed at. There were cockroaches dead all over the room I found 7 of them! It was really far out of town and it overall was terrible. The owners were Lovley but really need to get rid of them roaches and the toilet in the front garden.

Das erste was sie gemacht hat, 400 Baht zusätzlich für den Schlüssel als Pfand . Am ende nur 300 Baht zurück bekommen und die 100 Baht haben wir erst durch viel Diskussion zurück bekommen . Wir haben unsere Klamotten dort waschen lassen,3 bis 4 kg maximal,sie meinte es sind 4 kg und wir sollen 200 Baht bezahlen, bei der Übergabe der Klamotten meinte sie wir sollen 350 Baht bezahlen,weil es angeblich 7 kg sind . Als wir dann meinten wir wollen es selbst nochmal wieder meinte sie das es egal...

Kakerlaken in der Dusche, Gestank im Bad, keine Leute, kein Social Life, ab vom Schuss im Nirgendwo. Bin nach einer Nacht gegangen.

Cockroaches in the shower, Gestank in the bath, no people, no social life, ab vom Schuss in the nowhere.

Mixed review, the hosts were really nice on arrival and tried their best to help where they could. We had a private room which was a good size and we thought would be safe, however we left a wallet in the room and 3,000 Baht got taken from this while it was left in the room. We obviously had no way of knowing where this had gone/ who took it but just a word of warning to be extra vigilant if you’re staying at this property. A real shame because everything else was great for the price we paid.

Property not bad but location quite out the way and a bit hidden. Felt creepy travelling back to it at night. Suppose it did the job. The owners were really lovely and enjoyed talking to us.

It was the only place left with a bed available so had to stay here. The dorm smells like mold and has no aircon, so it will get over 30 degrees in there. Beds were okay but the hostel definitely needs some work

Paul was super helpful! Laundry service was great! Coffee was a 10/10. The bathroom could have been cleaner and the bed wasn’t very comfortable in the one single bed room but the view from the balcony was pretty. Overall I would suggest this hostel if it meets your standards!

Was a nice hostel that my girlfriend and I were satisfied with for the 3 nights we stayed. Bed was super spacious and comfy. Balcony was great too! (En-suite private room). The location of the hostel itself isn’t amazing but it’s not a far walk at all from the main strip, about 10-15 mins? The shower head wasn’t brilliant so may just need a simple fix?. Otherwise, the staff were very nice and welcoming, and we were happy overall with our stay :) :)

The owner was very friendly and helpful, everything was clean. The location is a bit far out from other things but not massively. For the cost it was very good.

Affordable and quietly located hostel. Perfect for (solo) backpackers who want to meet new people. The people there were friendly and relaxed. Both the guests and the staff. The shared bathrooms were fine. The main mile, where many bars and restaurants are located, is within walking distance.

Ich würde auf keinen Fall empfehlen, in dieses Hostel zu gehen. Wichtigster Punkt zuerst: Mir wurden von einem Angestellten des Hostels 2000 THB aus dem Locker gestohlen. Da man hier kein eigenes Schloss anbringen kann, haben die Angestellten die möglichkeit, sich hier zu bedienen. Leider konnte ich das nicht beweisen, sonst wäre ich zur Polizei gegangen. Außerdem sind die Matratzenbezüge dreckig und im Bad wachsen schon Algen. Gebt ein bisschen mehr Geld aus und tut euch das nic...

Translated to English

I would not recommend going to this hostel under any circumstances. Most important point first: I was robbed of 2000 THB from the locker by an employee of the hostel. Since you can't put your own lock on here, the employees have the opportunity to serve themselves here. Unfortunately I couldn't prove it, otherwise I would have gone to the police. Besides, the mattress covers are dirty and algae already grow in the bathroom. Spend a little more money and don't bother!

The hostel was fine for a few nights and it was cheap. It was in a local neighborhood but there weren’t a lot of activities nearby but the owner was very nice but it wasn’t a social hostel

stayed here 6 nights & the bathrooms were disgusting, they were barely, IF ever cleaned. same as the room, the floors were so dirty yet they expected us to wear no shoes. there is nowhere in the showers to hang your clothes/towel/toiletries. beds were clean, but not the most comfy. location was not ideal, a bit of a walk to any attractions/the main strip. the wifi worked great though. was as expected as what you pay, is what you receive. and the price is super cheap.

Goed hostel, niet echt een ontmoetingsplek. Personeel is heel aardig en behulpzaam, maar ze kunnen geen Engels waardoor het soms wat langer duurt:)

Staff are so welcoming, met lovely people, very intimate and easy. Loved the location as well. Big up Paul and the maid (we nicknamed her Mama cause she mothered). Only thing re cleanliness was the bathrooms which were unfortunately not the cleanest - a few dead roaches here and there but honestly not a big deal imo. Would recommend to any and everyone - our friend joined us mid-stay and way preferred it to a hostel she was paying £40+ a night for prior. Hope the rest of our hostels are as epic...
