“Good hostel”
Great quiet location but close enough to the beach, shops and restaurants. Friendly staff. Comfortable room with a fridge and en suite. Water station. Communal seating area to socialise as you would expect from a hostel. All in all, good.

I honestly had such a good time staying here. The AC is seriously one of the best parts — it actually works properly and keeps the place nice and cool all the time, which you really appreciate in Langkawi. The volunteers are awesome, super helpful and easygoing. They’re always around if you need anything and make everything feel really relaxed and friendly. There’s also a shared kitchen which, for me, is a big plus. It just makes everything easier and more comfortable, especially if you’re staying a bit longer. And I want to give a special shoutout to Mantra — you can really feel the positive energy she brings to the place. She’s done an amazing job creating such a welcoming vibe. Honestly, for me, this is the best hostel in Langkawi. I’d definitely come back again.

Mantra and the volunteers are a sound bunch who really made my stay! It’s a hostel with chill vibes and attracts a nice crowd. This is my favourite hostel in Malaysia so far so I’d highly recommend.

Decent hostel, a little isolated though as you need to go through a small secondary road for a little while to get there. But it's not big deal if you have a bike. The personnel is nice.
