Netherlands COUPLE 18-24 Mar 22, 2026 Atm 80%

We really loved our stay here! It felt like a resort, but for a hostel price! You have your own bathroom and fridge and can use the pool of the actual resort a little up the road!! The owners were super kind and helpful! We rented scooters from them and they booked tours for us. You can also ask them to wash your clothes for a good price and they'll dry and fold it as well. There were some insects in the bathroom as it's humid and warm. It's not a social hostel, it's more quiet and serene.

Wij hebben hier een fijn verblijf gehad! Je mag gebruik maken van het zwembad en de eigenaren zijn super vriendelijk. Ook konden we hier een scooter huren. Ongeveer een kwartiertje lopen richting restaurantjes en supermarkt.

Super hôtel, nous nous y sommes senties bien ! Plage très proche et en plus il est possible d'utiliser la piscine du resort situé derrière. Propriétaires supers, nous avons même fait une excursion en bateau avec le mari !

Loved this spot. Air con, fridge, shower, short walk from the beach with a few bars and restaurants, nice and helpful owners. The huts are exactly that so don’t expect anything that luxurious but it’s exactly what we were after !

The bungalow owners are incredibly friendly and always approachable, even late at night. On our first day, the lady even drove us to 7/11 so we could grab some food. The location is central yet quiet, and with a scooter rental on-site (200 Baht/day), you can get anywhere quickly. Laundry service is also available. We were extremely impressed. Expect some insects or small geckos in a bamboo bungalow, but it was very manageable. The price-to-quality ratio is excellent – truly a low-budget dream!...

This isn’t a hostel, it’s individual bungalows so you won’t meet other travellers. We liked the wooden vibe and the doors of the bungalows had a lock. The bed felt comfortable. We also hired a bike from reception. However, be warned that given the fact it is a wooden bungalow there is a good likely chance of bugs coming in.

Lovely stay here. Being in the forest there obviously are critters in the room at times but a mosquito net is provided and the owner came to help us remove a scorpion from the room as soon as we asked.

Loved this hostel, the huts they are are really nice, lovely air conditioning, it’s a 3 minute walk from the beach and there is a restaurant on that same beach that does amazing food for a good price. The sunsets are also stunning on that beach, and if it’s not cloudy then you can see so many stars at night. 10/10 hostel, wouldn’t recommend to anyone who’s coming to Koh lanta

Really good value for money, you must be comfortable with creepy crawlies (cockroaches and frogs and millipedes) and using a mosquito net (we had to tape up a lot of holes), but can’t expect much else in the midst of nature and it was still a really cute little stay, very cheap.

Owners steal money from their customers and people don’t realise it’s happened here due to short stays & the fact they leave some money behind so you don’t notice! There are loads of reviews on Google, Agoda, Expedia etc. please look for yourself and DO NOT STAY HERE! I stayed for over 5 weeks and they stole $100 from me. I’m devastated as this family treated me so kindly. If for whatever reason you choose to stay, PADLOCK YOUR BAGS! even when left inside the hut, as the owners have sp...

Great stay in the private bungalows. Family running the place was super sweet and helpful. Not a social place, but a good place to recharge and have some privacy. Close to the beach.

Had a lovely stay at Baanmaiphai. The hosts were very welcoming and even gave us a lesson on how to use a motorbike. Definitely recommend as a good base if you’re visiting Koh Lanta but you will need a bike to get around!

Loved to stay here, it was very different from where I stayed in other place! You definitely will need to rent a scooter to get around in Lanta as everywhere is a distance from each other! This place does offer to hire a scooter, they even would show you how if you haven’t done it before, the people were lovely! (P.S. not ideal to stay if you’re scared of insects, etc as it is a bamboo house and in middle of nowhere)
