Really affordable hostel with amazing facilities like two massive tvs, pool and speakers to turn it up on a night out but pool table ping pong and living area all built to be chill, was clean and the staff were so helpful fun and kind, would definitely stay there again

So good. Had an amazing time as I was able to use the pool and kitchen. Charlie, Amelia and Millie were especially good staff members :)

Great hostel with a really nice vibe, clean rooms, and friendly people. They also organized fun activities, which made it easy to meet new people and enjoy the island even more. The volunteers there were super cool and made the whole atmosphere feel really welcoming from the start. Special thanks to Sári for being so helpful and for giving me the best tips on what to do around the island. Would definitely come back!

Pai war so nett zu uns. Ich hatte mein Handy im Taxi vergessen und sie ist extra mit mir nochmal zum Hafen gefahren und hat hin und hertelefoniert, so dass ich mein Handy wieder habe. Sie ist die Beste!! Das Hostel war auch gut, man kriegt, was man erwartet. Roller mieten geht sehr gut:)

Sion, more like worn and torn. The man is like 45 years old, with two side quests- running parties for 15 year old Hispanic girls, and body painting anyone under the age of 20. The bunk beds are made of riveta crackers, but are draped in designer bedding, so that increased my 0 star rating to potentially 1 star. I really enjoyed waking up and having a staring contest with a steamy, as some pleb decided to shut off the water. Way too many pool inflatables, and not enough people wearing shoes

Staff incredibly friendly, especially Emma thank you so much for being understanding. Incredible prices for the facilities provided, probably the best place to stay in Koh Phangan.

Very social hostel with nice reps, but it wasn't that clean and the beds weren't that nice.

I stayed here for couple of nights and it was the most awfully ran hostel I’ve been to. Most of the workers were really nice especially John, Iddo and Mateo . However I found Sion disturbing, he is a middle aged man who seemed to always be around younger girls and I always witnessed him being rude to some of the staff and customers. The manager of the place also gave me bad vibes and seemed pissed off all the time. If you’re a younger female I would avoid this place like the plague.

Had such a great time at Wanderlust! The atmosphere is such a cool vibe & very social! The place is clean and all the staff were welcoming! I want to give a shout out to the manager Ema who was helpful and polite with my checking. Also Sion the volunteer who told me and my friends the beast beaches, viewpoints and restaurants! He also did a group tour jungle treck & made the evenings really fun with a cool quiz night and beerpong tournament!

A great hostel and i especially like that there’s toilet/shower cubicles separate from the rooms, instead of an ensuite in the room. A guy working there called John made me feel so welcome and he was so friendly, love ya john 🫶🫶
