“Highly recommend a visit!”
I had such a great stay here and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area. The check-in process was really easy and I stayed in both the private bungalows and the dorm room — both were comfortable and suited different styles of travel. The overall vibe of the place is amazing and it’s the perfect spot to meet like-minded travellers. The staff were all great and made the stay even more enjoyable. The location is also ideal, only a 2-minute walk to Haad Yao beach and close to plenty of lovely local restaurants. The onsite food was okay, and one of my favourite parts of the stay was the morning yoga classes with the amazing teacher Rebecca.

“A great place that could use a bit more cleaning and maintenance.”
The pool, garden, gym and common area are awesome, really beautiful with chill vibes. You can easily meet people and make friends. The pool is open 24/7 : you can go for a night swim, chat and eat around the pool.

Nice older style but modernised huts, 5 mins to main beach. Beds a little hard for me. Staff friendly and helpful. Good pool.

The staff is very attentive, it’s very close to the beach, and the vibe is social but not party-focused — you get to meet really wonderful people here. There are lots of classes, and the front desk makes it easy to book everything you need. It has good storage space for your luggage, and they provide a lock and towel at no extra charge.

I had a truly wonderful stay at this hostel. The facilities were excellent, the location was perfect, and everything was spotlessly clean. I would especially like to highlight Laura, a member of the staff who truly made a difference. She is incredibly charismatic, always attentive to my needs, and went above and beyond to ensure I felt comfortable throughout my stay. Thanks to her kindness and dedication, my experience was not only pleasant but truly unforgettable. I would highly recommend this hostel to anyone looking for a memorable and enjoyable stay.

“My happy place ♡”
I stayed in the dorm with 18 other Girls and it was so amazing everybody was so considered and quiet in the morning and evenings, also a very nice place to meet other people. The people who work there are the best! Kind and very helpfull. And on top of it all a free gym, pool and a great community space/restaurant.
