I loved everything!! Especially that it was a peaceful place, mostly just girls. The girls at the reception were nice and they have a cuuutie cat called fatty! You can book the ferry tickets and trips in the hostel too. Even tho there is no breakfast there are snacks, coffee and tea. The AC was good too. I'm really happy that i stayed in this hostel, it was such a beautiful stay!!

Really liked it. Happy to stay again.

There was a booking error for the dorm when I arrived, so was given a private room as a gesture of goodwill given, I had travelled on two flights plus a minivan and ferry to get to Koh Lanta. The lady at reception was really friendly and I even met the cool resident cat. The room was spotless and had the amenities you find in a regular hotel from complimentary water, a kettle with tea/coffee, and a fridge. Being a private room, it had AirCon that you could control. I loved that there was a Big-C convenience store literally across the road. There are also bars and restaurants within walking distance. Plus, you can easily walk to Phra Ae Beach. The hostel also has scooters and bicycles you could hire from them directly. An added bonus is that you could book any tours through the hostel as well. The general atmosphere of the place is laid back, so don’t expect parties or a flurry of people hanging out.

Definitely worth it!

Great location! Close to the beach, bars, restaurants, 7 Eleven etc. Staff were lovely! One of the ladies actually offered us a ride to beautiful beach which was really kind 🥹 They also had little snacks, kettle, drinking water & microwave which was very handy.

- its a very small hostel with only a small community area but somehow its still very social, maybe because its so small - the owner is a super cute woman and she loves cats, theres even a cat in the hostel that is very cute - theres a few supermarkets and also good restaurants right next to the hostel which is convenient

Best hostel in ko lanta

You can definitely see how much love and caring they put into this place. The dorms are comfortable, with aircon, curtains and enough space to leave your stuff. The bathrooms are cleaned and there’s many products to use for free. There’s a social vibe as well. They offer tours, transport and laundry service as well. Booked for 3 nights ending staying for 3 more nights. Very close to the beach, 7 eleven and restaurants and shops. Amazing place to stay!

Happiness in Koh Lanta!

If I good give more than a 10 star, I would've!! One of the best hostels I have stayed at..... clean, very thoughtful touches to the kitchen, bathrooms and the common areas as well. The dorm was very comfortable, with a good bed, pillow and enough space to keep your stuff beside you. Great cooling as well. The best part was the simplicity of the place as there were only 12 beds in the dorms, so you get to socialize with many of the folks out there. Good friends made as well.

I could 't have loved this more! Atom & the staff are very lovely and helpful people, fatty the cat is an added bonus, and Koh Lanta is my favourite place to visit so far. Very grateful to have found this place, I stay for ten days and it felt like home.
