This was my last stop before leaving Thailand and it was the best decision to stop here. Very quiet and chill hostel, definitely not a party hostel. Very tropical feel around in the outside area, with the green garden and all the spots to just chill out. The room and bed are very spacious and the bed it's just right - not too hard and not too soft. I had my best sleep here during my travel across Thailand, for sure. This part of Lanta is quieter because it is more remote, but if you are looking for a place to unwind then that's it. On a side note, if you want a really chill bar with the best and most welcoming stuff, check out Aqua bar down by the beach. They made my stay while I was there.

We loved staying here! I would give it 11/10 if I could. The lady who runs it is so kind and friendly. On the first day the hot water heater for the shower broke, and she got it replaced within 2 hours. The service was very good. The room was very clean! Probably one of the cleanest places I stayed during my time backpacking in thailand. It is a 7 minute walk to the beach and there are a ton of well priced restaurants within walking distance. There are also many bike rental places close by so that you can explore the island. This place is such a good price for what you get, it feels like having your own little oasis. She also had beach towels for us to use, and umbrellas for the rain.

I love everything about this place, the amazing staffs duo (marky & tham) - good vibes (always so helpful) the location is perfect for me, the common area where you can look out at the palm trees & about 5 mins walk to the sea! There are food places nearby as well! + swimming pool next door you can use! Affordable price in Koh Lanta! 🤩 I stayed in a 4 bedder & 6 bedder as well (Extra space for the 6 Bedder) Love the place & the friendly staffs so much that I extended my stay from 2 nights to 23 nights! Made my trip to Koh Lanta a wholesome one! ❤️

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Ra and Suleiman were the greatest, so many free things they give such as coffee/tea/juice, breakfast, popcorn even. The location is the best hostel you’ll get in Ko Lanta, facilities were good

    Lovely hostel. The owners are super lovely and helpful. Helped us book transport, trips, were super chatty with us and even asked around the hostel to see if others wanted to join us to go to the old town festival that was on to make the taxi cheaper! Bathrooms had enough toilets and showers for everyone and the room was clean and comfortable!

    Best hostel I’ve stayed in on my travels so far.Staff are so kind and will go out of their way to help you in any way they can.Breakfast you have the choice of eggs how you would like them,toast,fruit,juice,tea,coffee and muffins etc. Rooms are clean as well as the bathrooms and the beds are comfortable.Only a two minute walk to the beach and lots of nearby restaurants.There is also a separate quiet area for working and a free popcorn machine which is a nice touch. They also rent out scooters for a cheap price.
