Baan Tai - Backpackers Reviews

Had a good stay at Ban tai , its a good place to meet people and have fun

We had a great stay here, the staff were amazing. Scott really made us feel at home and welcome and helped us with everything we needed.

Dorms were really lovely, big windows and ours even had a balcony! The bathroom was great too, nice and big, and even had a showergel provided (and a stack of loo roll - non of this having to venture out to get a new one everyday!) We only stayed a few days for a half moon but loved our stay and all the staff (including the bike hire thing - if you need to get one defo get it through the hostel, fair and friendly!! :) Would recommend for sure!

Brilliant location, friendly staff and good atmosphere. If staying for the halfmoon, definately the place to be.

Th best place to stay in Koh Phangan and a short ride to Haad rin beach. Great atmosphere, helpful staff and Scott is a good guy plus it has an Xbox!! 10/10

We stayed in a private room and thought the facilities were amazing, better than any hotel in Thailand we had stayed at before! The lady on reception was so friendly and helpful. The hostel is the perfect location for the half moon party and you can meet loads of people in the communal area to party with. Already recommended this hostel to fellow travellers!

Overall I have no recommendations for improvements. You are doing good with the location and building at your disposal.

Great in every area. Location is good, especially if going to half moon.

Had an amazing stay here for January full moon. So helpful, clean, great rooms,. Would definitely stay here again. Really easy to get taxis around if needed and some great places to eat just down the road. Thank you had an awesome time

Sociable hostel with a communal area that also has a TV with a hard drive full of films. This is the kind place where everyone in the hostel gets to know each other which is cool. The owner Scott is friendly and can sort things out like moped rental as well. I stayed in a dorm which felt like more of a hotel room than a dorm room as it was clean and had an ensuite. There is WiFi in the dorms and common area and lockers too. There's a fridge where you can buy beers and water as well. Great place

Scotts fit ;P

Very cool hostel and Scott was great right from the start even tho his employee was sick.

Really good hostel, clean, good location, everything you are looking for is there. I stayed during the "No big party time" and it was great to relax and enjoy the island. Scott is always willing to help you with anything.

Overall it was a good hostel, you have free Wifi, access to computers and endless amount of movies on the TV. The atmosphere is really good and Scott is always helpful. A taxi ride is needed to get to anywhere decent but there is a 7Eleven 10mins walk down the road. I would like to note my Room/Bathroom wasnt cleaned for the duration of my stay (5 days) and there are only small lockers for valuables available downstairs. During the festive period I thought it was hugely overpriced aswell.

Scott is a really great guy. I had an accident and he was very helpful. Baan Tai is around 15 minutes where the Full Moon Partys happen but they have Black Moon Party and Jungle Experience really close. I had a great time there. Take care, Scott.

Great hostel. As the info says it is not in Haad Rin but Baan Tai (as the name suggests). However, it is just a 10-15 minute taxi ride away from Haad Rin (for the Full Moon Party) and closer than most of the Island. Owner (I presume) is an American (I think) dude who lays it out straight, no messing. That's what I like so I really appreciated it. Room was awesome with balcony and a great bathroom. Clean, and with a great common area. A ten minute walk to a short line of shops and restaurants.

The hostel owner, Scott, is amazing. He's super helpful, accommodating, and really cares about providing good service. He also makes sure that the party always gets started at the hostel before any other event. Really easy to meet people here and make friends. The beach across the street is nice and quiet - definitely a good alternative to Haad Rin. Highly recommend.

Fantastic place to stay, the atmosphere here was brilliant had a lot of fun. Keep up the great work Scott! Cheers nick

There is amazing hostel.Scot help us always and he is really friendly.and Thai girl staff also very friendly and helpful.location is better than haad rin. Cheap restaurant is bear hostel.If you can drive mortar bike,you can go to night market. It will take 10min from hostel.

The staff was very friendly and the hostel in very good condition. It would be even a better place if there were small reading lights next to the beds as the main lights are very bright if you are sleeping upstairs.
