Thank you for the App that made me get a room for a full moon night.
This hostel is extremely over priced for what it is. Doors do not lock without your own padlock and not enough bathroom space.
The cleanliness of this hostel was disgusting the bed sheets had bits on them.
The staff were helpful and friendly.
Staff were so welcoming and lovely, couldn’t fault any of them and if it wasn’t for them I would’ve had the worst night of my life.
The “bunk beds” are horrendous, 1 aircon for about 6 mini cabins and then on their roofs are double mattresses with barely any space to the ceiling so you’re cramped. We paid extra to get our own space, which was cooler but still 1 aircon to share for loads of private rooms.
Wasn’t expecting much but for the price we paid (£54 on full moon), it was a scam of our money for what we got in return. Even with our upgrade we still had shared toilets and were woken up in the early hours by a man continuously spewing. Fun place, the nightlife was excellent for pres and the people were amazing, but I don’t know how the hostel itself hasn’t yet been shut down.
I will always now book in advance if we ever go full moon again, and never stay here. No wonder it was the only place on the island not sold out.
Staff really treated me like an old friend, everyone was so friendly. Everything was simple and clean. Bar was really cute and drinks were cheap and strong! Really fun atmosphere
I stopped at the bar here at full moon and it was the craziest party on the block. Everyone was really friendly and the staff really seemed to love taking care of everyone. I made a ton of friends so when I was passing back through I stayed here.
When it's not full moon it's pretty mellow but a great place to relax and have a drink with the staff and chill on the beaches.
The place isn't fancy but staff keeps it clean. The beds aren't as hard as most hostels I've stayed in Thailand. They gave me an upgrade to these unique beds they have in the dorms that are tiny little wooden rooms. It gives you privacy and safety and has everything you need but much cheaper then a hotel room, and still easy to meet people. I recommend those!
Hoping I'll be back next year again!

Disliked: Cleanliness, room comfort
Average
Great location as it is close to Haad Rin for the full moon party. A bit of a cramped hostel, cleanliness was average. The male manager appeared very rude and kicked out a group of girls as they were mistakenly overbooked. Woke up another morning to him yelling at 8am the next day. Don’t expect to sleep before 2am if you stay here as there is a bar attached that blares music. Great for meeting people, met a great group of friends to hang out/party with
The owner Loren is lovely. Always available with helpful tips to do around the island and also if you wanted a general chat. Great place to meet people as there is a bar on site. Accommodation is basic but the atmosphere definitely makes up for this. Highly recommened for the full moon as location is perfect, 5 min walk to the beach.
Our room, on the top floor, was in 2cm of water after it rained overnight and soaked through all of our belongings. We weren't offered an apology and the one unhelpful staff member was asleep at checkout time leaving us no where to safely store our now water damaged bags.
