Really good hostel. Social but not too party. They have events every night but music stops at 11. Also there is white noise in the room with your own personal fan and the a/c so you don’t really hear the music. They give you towel, locker, etc. Pool and common area is great. Only thing is since it’s such a big hostel sometimes it’s weirdly harder to meet people, but quiz night is a good night to meet. 100% would recommend

I loved this hostel. I booked a 4 female dorm and it was a nice size room with double beds and a big bathroom. My only critique was the AC was so cold we were all frozen. I love the set up, there is a pool with lots of space to sit and a bar. It’s definitely the place to be social. I wish I stayed another night. They have activities, tours, and everything, The staff were super friendly and amazing. Probably the best staff service I’ve ever had in a hostel. I highly recommend here!

Had a great stay here. I stayed in the all female dorm. The beds are huge, which was a nice treat. I wish I had more time here. Great location. Very easy to bike to things and grab is readily available.

Great location, great vibes, great facilities! Really nothing bad to say about Banana Tree. Good combination of social activities and the ability to just sit by yourself if you want to.

Lovely hostel in a good location, with great rooms and decent bathrooms. The beds were big, with fans and sockets. The whole hostel was very clean and pretty. Staff were so lovely, super helpful and spoke amazing English. Food was really nice and decent activities. We rented both motorbikes and pedal bikes from them too at a decent price. Beds had a plastic cover on the mattress which felt a bit weird, but butter than bed bugs and dirty mattresses I guess. Having stairs was nice. Get desserts!!

Don't book the 8 bed dorms, it smells horrible and people walk in all night long and slam the doors. Could not sleep so went to another hostel and didn't finish my stay.

A really great hostel in a good location in Tam Coc. The staff were very helpful in helping to organise onward travel & the laundry service was good. Really comfy and spacious bed in the dorm with your own locker, light & fan. Bathroom was also spacious and plenty of showers around. Pool was great for the hot days to chill. Sociable but not party vibes and get everyone involved in the activities at night time.

Das Hostel hat eine Mega Atmosphäre! Durch die Veranstaltungen jeden Abend ist es super leicht neue Leute kennenzulernen. Das Essen ist lecker und die Mitarbeiter sind alle total lieb und hilfsbereit. Die Zimmer und Bäder sind sauber. Die Klimaanlage ist vom Personal leider etwas kalt eingestellt also sollte man sich für nachts evtl. etwas wärmeres mitnehmen wenn man schnell friert, da die Decken extrem dünn sind.

Ik snap de hype niet helemaal. De locatie is echt top, maar mijn dorm was erg warm ondanks de airco, de matrassen zaten in een soort plastic hoes en de sanitaire voorzieningen waren buiten het gebouw. Het gaf heel erg camping vibes, en ik vond het hier wat moeilijker om vrienden te maken omdat er niet veel activiteiten zijn. De adventure tour was wel erg leuk!

The 4 bed dorm was large and comfortable, with lots of space to walk around and the biggest beds i’ve seen in a hostel. The balcony attached to the dorm was also very cute and comfortable to sit. However, the hostel had a strange vibe of not being very social but rather just randomly coming alive in the evening, although i would not describe it as a crazy party hostel. It is not the ideal set up to meet people as a solo traveler. Other than that, staff was friendly and bathrooms were clean!

felt like a resort with the facilities but as it’s so spread out very difficult for solo travellers to meet as u aren’t forced to speak to others also everyone seems to leave room doors and windows open and unlocked yet it still felt safe

Pros: -good location -clean and large rooms/bathrooms Cons: - beds not comfy - no one on reception when I went to rent a bike early morning - I was messing the hostel about transport to the hostel but they stopped responding to me mid conversation, wasn’t helpful Overall I would look for an alternative option if I were to return

Great place to stay and very social. Basic rooms are quite small and cramped so would recommend to book the deluxe - however there is no en suite bathroom with the deluxe unfortunately

Couldn’t recommend this hostel more. By far the best hostel I’ve stayed at in SEA. Great atmosphere, lovely food, really friendly staff comfortable beds and pool table is always a bonus too!
