toilets were all broken, had no water for one night, rarely anyone at reception and my friend got bed bugs bites.

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.

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 🫶🫶

My stay was amazing here. Sion, Jordan, John and Ido were great with all the guests and made them feel welcomed and ensured we all had a great night. Sion also showed me around the island, which was very nice. 10/10 stay and will be returning.
