A compact hostel with a welcoming vibe. The host Nick is super helpful and knowledgable about the island and many other parts of Thailand which made the stay even more valuable. Coffee, tea and cereal available, clean showers and nice beds!

+ Stayed here for a week and really enjoyed my time! Definitely one of the best hostels I’ve stayed at. The room and bed were great, and there’s plenty of seating in the common area to relax or chat with others. The bathroom (and room) is super clean thanks to the lovely receptionist Jang. Nick, the owner, is really nice and helpful, always ready to answer any questions. He clearly puts a lot of effort into making your stay great. Also, make sure to check out his guides as they’re super useful.

Awesome little hostel right in the center of town. They do their best to make you feel at home and welcomed. Super comfy beds, little lounge area inside, free cold water, a fridge for your snacks and really nice washrooms. The owner made an extremely helpful island guide that really helps you make the most of your time here. Also the hostel puppy is such a cutie and is always up for snuggles or pets. Would return if they weren't sold out!!

I had a great stay at Cocoon Hostel, the bed was super comfy (and you get 2 pillows!!) and the bedroom and bathroom were kept clean at all times. The staff were also lovely! Loved the location, near pier and also the Main Street & beaches. Would highly recommend :)

+ Small family run hostel with just eight beds in a dorm. Owner and other staff very very welcoming and provide good information for stay - owner has written an island guide which you can access with lots of good information on places to go/ restaurants/ bars/ trips etc. Good location - just a couple of minutes walk from ferry port. Very clean and other guests friendly and considerate. Free breakfast/ tea and coffee provided and laundry done for a small charge.

+ Nick, the owner, is very friendly and helps wherever he can. During my stay, he also shared a few things beyond the usual hostel small talk, which was very interesting. My bed was typically quite firm for Thailand standards, but still comfortable. The air conditioning also runs during the day, which is great for cooling off when coming back from the beach. If you need to work remotely, you can do so in the entrance area. For phone conferences, there is also a small side room where you can be alone. The Wi-Fi works well. Since I only worked a few hours a day, it was fine for me, but I wouldn’t want to work full-time as it’s a bit too uncomfortable for that. I would come back here again. Thanks again and all the best to you!

+ Questo ostello è l'esempio di come vorresti una sistemazione economica e quindi di come un ostello dovrebbe sempre essere. Essenziale ma pulito e con tutti i servizi necessari. Staff presente, competente e ultra disponibile. Mi sono sentimo molto a mio agio. Il titolare ha anche realizzato una guida interattiva sui punti di interesse dell'isola. Stra consigliato. +++++
