Comfortable dorm, with air-con. And the beautiful sea is just out there when opening the door. A new guesthouse, surely will go better. Good luck!

It's mis-leading to say that it's an 8-bed dorm when in reality, it's two 8-bed dorms connected. It's uncomfortable to walk through another dorm to get to the two toilets and two showers that 16 people need to share. There's not enough space for backpacks and the showers are cramped making it difficult to get dressed in privacy. There's a tiny safe behind the front desk for any valuables, as there's no lockers or safes in the room.

Hello Anne, Our hostel is set up purely for those looking for budget, beach front accommodation on an otherwise expensive island. We offer basic facilities and do not feel we advertise anything that we cannot provide our guests. We are sorry that you did not enjoy your stay with us and appreciate your feedback. We have taken your comments on board and will be installing lockers and extra toilet facilities for next season and will then update our online listing accordingly. Best Regards, Koh Lipe Backpackers Hostel

No lockers available! It is more like a 16bed dorm and they only have 2 toilets and 2 showers... The roof is lacking when it is raining, so our beds were getting wet... But the only available hostel on the island. When you share a bungalow, you can pay about 300-400 baht for a two bed room with your own bathroom.. But all in all the hostel is a good option when you are travelling on your own.

Brand new hostel located on the calm and quiet west end of Koh Lipe's main beach. When you arrive and leave, you wont have to carry your bags around, cause the boats will drop you close to the place. Great AC running all the time, new and comfortable beds and hot shower. The hostel is just behind a diving center, so its easy to meet new people. Staff was super nice and helpful. Totally recommend it!
