United States
I extended my stay multiple times here because I didn't want to leave. The location is quiet and serene. Crickets at night, birds in the morning. The glass window/wall at the bed is amazing and you wake up surrounded by nature (but with a/c and no mosquitoes in your bed). Shower gets hot, but you rarely want the hot water. Hammock in the trees with string lights, looking up at the stars with crickets chirping is exactly the quiet space I wanted to get some work and climbing in. Breakfast and smoothies were delicious, bathrooms are super clean, cafe and pool table in the lobby area, the indoor gym is great. ***Tony, the climbing guide, is so wonderful. So friendly, very knowledgeable about actually teaching you how to climb and improving your skills whether you're brand new or have done some climbing in the past. I cannot recommend this place enough, and absolutely recommend booking a guided climbing trip!

The view, the friendly staff and the food was amazing. They also have kind volunteers too. Activities will make your stay fun even if you don't leave the hostel at all. Beds are comfortable and the shower in the room was amazing. A shower with a view :) The dorms have lockers. I stayed in a 16 people dorm and the room was so big that it didn't feel overcowded at all. Their kitchen is very nice and there is also a nice bar just up the hostel. Also the wifi speed is ok. Everyone on the staff was absoulutely amazing but Praew, you have my heart girl.

DaanSolo traveller - 8.8Scored 8.8FabulousRated fabulous· 247 reviewsBest Hostel, a bit far from the Main City but you need a scooter anyway so it’s totally fine. Close to really nice beaches, Tanote Beach was my fav. The staff is fantastic and you can have fun nights playing Deisha-Thai-Pool, getting professional bamboo tattoos and have good&cheap cocktails or some weed (or both :D)!! The View is epic, you can see the whole Island and shouldn’t miss it. It’s often booked out (book early!) so there are always many people. Will definitely come back some day!
