It's a really awesome place to stay. The owner is very friendly, brings all people in this quite small hostel together, helps out wherever he can and sometimes goes out partying with his customers. Definitely the place to go at Chaweng Beach for Backpackers as it is very close to everything (Beach, Bars, Restaurants,...).

I planned on staying in this place for only 2 nights and ended up staying for 5 nights. You are located in great area of Koh samui at the popular chaweng beach, which is located across the street. The owner is from France and will help you in any possible way. He is not trying to rip you off, he WILL HELP!!! Tips for cheap bike rentals, good food, free drinks in bars, ... If you stay in koh samui, this is the place where you have to stay! Very easy to get to know people as well.

Good location in central Chaweng, owner is cool and friendly, A/C and fan worked (power was out upon arrival though, owner should definitely consider a generator like most other places on Samui have). There are lockers on the 2nd floor for your stuff. No major complaints. I'd stay here again.

Ricky the owner is one of the nicest hostel owners I've ever met! He even bought one of my friends a birthday cake for her birthday! The hostel is clean, and in a great area, two mins from shops, And great food and 5 mins to the perfect chaweng beach!

Best hostel I've stayed in so far in Thailand. It's really social, clean, owner is helpful. Book ahead to guarantee your accommodation as you won't find any better on the island.

Great place to stay! Fonzi the owner is a legend! Took us to a Muay Thai fight and chilled with the hostel guests. Exactly what you want in a Hostel Owner. Will definitely be recommending this to my friends.

I had an awesome stay at the backpackers. It's in such a good location, all the good food, the beach and shops around. Super friendly staff, who is always willing to help and give advice! I loved staying there and wish I could stay longer!

By far the best hostel I stayed in the whole time i was in Asia. The rooms/bathrooms are very clean and spacious and you get a duvet instead of a sheet (Nice touch!!). The owner is really friendly and helpful. Only downside is that its a bit of a nightmare to find but once you've got your bearings its fine. Close to nightlife and markets also.

It was really clean, beds were comfortable. It was beyond our expectations as a hostel. The guy who owns it was really friendly and helpful. Met some great people We would 100% recommend staying here. It's also in a great area with food,bars,and clubs a short distance away.
