Gute Lage und nettes Personal, jedoch war die Unterkunft sehr dreckig, es hat gerochen und es waren überall Insekten. Zu empfehlen eher weniger aber für 7 Euro kann man es mache wenn man den ganzen Tag weg ist und nur dort schlafen möchte.

Don’t bother booking the cheap option. Unless you wanna sleep on a literal brick go ahead. Owner was very kind tho. Very helpful and chatty so that’s a plus. The free breakfast is two poached eggs and a couple slices of toasts.

I only stayed here for one night, everything was reasonable for the price. Pretty standard hostel. I really appreciated the owner- she helped us book a bus very last minute.

Lovely owner, very kinda and attentive. Unfortunately the property was not as good. Whilst free breakfast is great (can’t comment on it as vegan so could not eat)… this property was Pretty dirty bathroom areas with toiletries scattered everywhere for days and hairs left in sink/on soap bars. “Curtains” were some thin sheer sheets so light could easily shine through. The ladder was a bit dangerous as sharper edges not cushioned. Beds comfy and location great.

Super noisy being right on the main road. Very friendly and helpful staff. Lots of beds crammed into one room and the ‘curtains’ were just sheets roughly draped over a hanging line. Very noisy.

Super Super Liebe Frau !! Sehr nett und sehr herzlich. Das war’s aber leider auch schon an Positiven Dingen. Das Hostel selber ist aber leider die reinste Katastrophe. Unfassbar dreckig, überall im Flur liegt irgendein Scheiß rum. Badezimmer ( mitten im Treppengang?) wenn man es überhaupt so nennen kann lol ist maximale Gänsehaut. Wenn man minimale Ansprüche an Hygiene und Lebensqualität hat dann sollte man nicht in dieses Hostel. Wenn dir alles egal ist dann Go for it.

The place is fine, spacious room but small lockers. Location is close to the beach but the island is along the coast so without a bike it's hard to visit much.

Maybe because it was low season but it seemed I was the only one staying in the hostel so of course zero atmosphere and one of the male workers was sleeping in my dorm despite the rest of the hostel being seemingly empty which didnt make me feel very comfortable. Other than that, free breakfast, soap provided, curtains and towels so good value for money.

Lovely family who run the hostel. It was very quiet and not many people around. Free fresh breakfast made in the mornings. I stayed in the aircon double room which was spacious. The bathrooms outside the room were shared but not clean. They helped sort my transport onto koh lipe which I was very grateful for.

The staff was so so sweet. But unfortunately the beds and the bathroom are very old. For the price it’s fine plus the hostel offers free breakfast as well

The hostel is great for low budget travel. It has a great location (you can walk to the beach in about 5 minutes). It has a great atmosphere there and the lady is the most awesome person ever and made our stay so much better. She also makes really great breakfast :) The toilets and showers could be cleaned more often and the beds are really really hard :( All in all is it a great hostel and worth a stay.

This has been so far the best accomodation that I had since I've been travelling around Thailand. I felt like home it was an amazing experience.

This place was fine. Reception area and bathroom were a bit messy and dirty. Bathrooms were really off putting and smelled bad, ants crawling the walls, clogged sink, dirty cobwebs hanging from ceiling. But shower was good quality. Room was pretty decent but the "curtains" were very thin plastic-like shower curtains clipped to thin metal wire with flimsy clips. Made an awful noise when pulling the curtains. Air con is shut during the day and they keep the remote so you don't turn it on.

Haben uns dort wohl gefühlt :) Sehr nette Betreiber, unkompliziert und hilfsbereit. (Wasser war mal ein Tag weg und Frühstück ausbaufähig)

Wir hatten ein Einzelzimmer, das an sich sehr geräumig war. Abgesehen von den Schränken, war es auch relativ sauber. Das Frühstück war jeden Tag 2 Toasts+2 Spiegeleier, was zwar nicht besonders war, aber für den Preis ein angenehmes Extra. Der Roller für 200 Baht war super günstig. Am negativsten war jedoch der eklige, kaum aushaltbare Geruch im Bad, durch den Schimmel an der Wand. Für den Preis kann mans also zwar aushalten, aber es ist nichts für mehrere Tage
