Very good price for what’s included and the facilities
Not the best location you need a bike

Some sinks in the open washing area where clogged and the water could not go down.

Amazing staff, so lovely and the food in the restaurant is so good! The rooms were lovely and bathroom clean.
People can bring a lot of sand into the rooms but that’s the people staying there :(

Great location by the beach and really good value for money, especially with the free breakfast that was really appreciated!!!
Not the hostel’s fault, but just be prepared for the Adhan from the local mosque in the morning! Made me jump at first but fine after a couple seconds!

Big common area to work or just hang out (indoors and outdoors).
Super social.
Less than 5 min walk to Long Beach.
I was there during Songkran (the Thai new year) and the staff included us in the celebrations, which was nice
Not that clean.
Breakfast was toasts, eggs, coffee and some jam. You'd have to ask for the toasts, so you couldn't just eat 3 instead of 2 if you wanted to.
There was no curtain ring in the curtains, so they were very hard to open or close

Perfect location! The staff really makes this place! Very comfy, very clean, & plenty of indoor/ Restaurant/ and Patio (for smokers) seating. I stayed for one month & had a great experience. They have everything you need, laundry service, motorbike rental, a cafe' & Restaurant, & best priced Tours. The Restaurant was great, tried many of what is on the menu. Short walk across the street to the Best beach & plenty of places to eat.
No complaints!

Breakfast was eggs with toast usually.
Sometimes pancakes. Filled the void. And a piece of fruit.
The front desk woman was wonderful when I asked for her help.
Scooters were 200 baht for 24 hours. That was good.
The beds are non too soft. :-( The hostel isn't on the beach but only about a 10 minute walk. It is located on a busy street.

Nice breakfast.
Incredibly dirty. The bed frames had thick dust settled on them, bathrooms and showers within the rooms were dirty too. The hostel had a rule about taking shoes off but the floors were always unclean.
The receptionist messed up our booking on their end as the 4 bed dorm we have booked wasn’t available anymore. We have compromised to go into the 8 bed, but we had to get the receptionist to call her manager in order to get the booking.com price match.

Everything!
My bed was clearly not changed and it was the same linens of the guest before! (I'm hostel manager in Portugal and I'm 100% sure of it)
There were 3 lady hairs inside of my bed. Disgusting!
I went to the reception 2x to ask for changing but there was nobody there.... ended up sleeping with the dirty linens of the previous woman guest..
The room was clearly not cleaned as well. Floor full of sand and hairs all over.
They give you a electronic card for entering the room (safety) however the room opens without any card!
My bed didn't had any locker because it was broken (my number)..
There is no space for you inside of the room only for the bunk beds... There is a 60cm "corridor" where you can walk in the room to get to your bed.... 14 beds in the same room and still they didn't cleaned it. It's bad

No water in the showers on the night time, staff weren’t very talkative/ friendly.
4.0 / 10.0
Bed's were fairly solid and clean. Location is good for arriving in Ko Lanta.
Front desk were very dismissive and a little rude to some people. The water did not work and we were told to wait it would cone back on, but it seemingly did not for hours. The place felt very antisocial with not a lot of people chatting or conversing. The showers were dirty and smelt awful with broke razors, empty bottles, old clothing and broken facilities. The first shower I went into had old nails and screws, a broken razor head, a discarded bikini and various unidentifiable fluids floating around. A small nuisance but the door plays a very loud electronic melody when you key in, so anyone arriving late trying to be quiet would greet everyone else with a rather startling beep ba da boop bap bing.

Over populated dorm.

Very pleasant hostel with great breakfast. Joy, the lady at the reception, is very kind and helpful and speaks very good english! The female dorm was very comfortable, with clean beds, privacy and bathroom with separate shower in the room. The ladies at the restaurant were also very friendly, and the hostel is 5 minutes walk from long beach. Will stay again!
No shoe policy could be moe strict, because top much sand inside .

Rooms are clean. Good showers. Privacy curtains. Lovely and friendly staff!
AC is not on between 10AM and 5PM but the receptionist was kind enough to give the remote for AC beforehand at 3 PM when I arrived from a long trip.
Not a very social hostel but there are many hostels next to it which fills in the social aspect. Great place to calm down in that sense.

Single bedroom is ok but bathroom smells a lot. Staff is friendly. Scooter rental in the same building 200B/day. They help you booking minivans, ferry, etc.
Common room is not so welcoming so that hostel is not so social.

The staff was super friendly.
We had a stoned old woman in the dorms who smelled awful! But that is I guess bad luck 🤷♀️

Extremely friendly lady's run this hostel. They are very helpful with every need you have. The beds are comfy and you have some privacy because of the curtains. The breakfast is exceptional for the price you pay per night. Would definitely recommend it.
The cleaning of the bathrooms could be a little better but honestly the behavior of some travellers too...
9.0 / 10.0
There was delicious homemade breakfast every morning and the ladies at the reception were always smiling, warm and welcoming. The overall vibe at this hostel is positive and light, and makes you want to extend your stay.
The beds are very hard, which is a common thing in Thailand, so I will not rate negatively for it, but the dorms were full of mosquitoes and we would wake up every morning with a lot of bites.

The lady at the reception is lovely and super helpful. You can book a tour through them for a really fair price. Possibility to rent a motorbike for 200 TBH per day. Breakfast with generous quantity.
