Penzy Guesthouse Reviews

We spent a lovely 2 nights at Penzy Guesthouse, and even came back for another night after visiting Koh Tao. Penzy was simply amazing, organising everything for us at decent prices, and recommending great places to eat. So nice to stay at a place with such a homely touch! Would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a friendly, value for money place to stay on Samui.

This was the best hostel we stayed at in Thailand. The rooms were a good size and really clean. Penzy was incredible and noticed that we had booked our train back to Bangkok on the wrong day and spent 30 mins on the phone to the train company trying to sort it out for us. Great atmosphere and location, close to the beach and the main road of restaurants and bars.

I stayed just under a week at Penzy Guesthouse and it was like a home away from home. David and Penzy were really friendly and made us feel comfortable immediately. They gave us advice on where to eat, things to do and always ensured we were ok. They also pre-booked our transport to the Full Moon Party, before we arrived, assuming we wanted to go, which we did, and ensured that we didn't miss out. The location was fine but a taxi ride away from the main strip of restaurants and clubs.

Penzy and her husband were unbelievably great and very helpful. She was so quick to respond to email and very informative and well connected (as I needed a doctor/hospital visit from too much fun in Phagnan) whereby she knew exactly what to do. Called the hospital, called a driver and I was well taken care of from the first few minutes of being there. Thank you Penzy!! That neat a lot. As for the hostel, great deal for the money. A bit of a walk to the heart of it all but not bad.

The hostel was clean and comfortable, and the owners were really friendly and helpful. It was more expensive than other places we stayed but I think this is more to do with the area in general and time of year (New Year's). Would recommend to anyone looking to stay in Chaweng.

Clean, well situated and cozy hostel with a nice and friendly staff. Thumbs up!

Overall this is a great hostel. Clean rooms, great staff, and pretty close to everything.

Penzy was super friendly and helpful. She has a great guesthouse and we would stay there again if we returned to Samui.

Penzy was cool - helped me out a lot with tours, washing, taxis, etc. Location is about half hour walk to green mango if you are looking to party but otherwise nothing else was any real issue.

Penzy's guesthouse is great. Its a good locaiton, very close to the beach and the main street of Chaweng but still manages to not be noisy at night. Penzy is absolutely lovely and VERY helpful! I would thoroughly recommend staying here and would stay here again myself in a heartbeat.

We had a brilliant stay here. Rooms really clean, Penzy and her husband are lovely and so helpful arranged various trips for us, and had good selection on DVD's if you wanted a few hours in. Would def stay again and recommend to everyone.

Both Penzy and David were very friendly and very helpful. The room was spacious, clean with Aircon, TV/DVD as well as fridge. The location is only 5 minutes from the beach and is situated down a quite side road with the main strip located 5 mins walk away. I would highly recommend this hostel and will definitely be going back . Last thing is Penzy was really helpfull with booking the Ferry and Tours at very good prices.

Excellent hostel with very friendly and helpful owners. Very clean and only a 10-15 minute walk to the bars and 5 minute walk to the beach. Would definitely recommend staying here!!!!!

This was my second stay at Penzy's guesthouse and it was great to be back. Will definitly be my first port of call whenever i am lucky enough to get back to Koh Samui again!

Great hostel with brilliant staff. They sent useful information before we got there about how to find it, had great local knowledge and got good rates for an recommended good tours. Would certainly go back and recommend!!

Penzy was amazing so helpful anything you needed she helped you out. the room as really clean and it was cleaned every day as well it is quite central to every where you need on Chaweng beach. and it is about 100m to the beach. best place to stay on the island.

Penzy and husband are great. Full of useful advice. The room is perfect for budget travelers. Has everything you need. The only consideration is the location. It is a 10min walk to the north end of the main street where all the action is.

Had a fabulous stay at Penzy's guesthouse. Both Penzy and Dave were incredibly helpful and had plenty of suggestions for both getting out there and seeing Samui and also how to relax! Will definitly stay here again next time! :)

Very nice hostel !! I would always come back. It is close to the beach and the the staff is very friendly. They try to help you wherever they can.

Penzy and her husband were extremely nice and helpful in terms of telling me where to go and booking tours and taxis. The hostel was extremely nice and clean! The room had a mini fridge, free wi-fi, nice tv and dvd player, and you're allowed to borrow DVDs for free (in case its raining or you had a rough night before). The location isn't bad either, the beach and the clubs are just a short walk away. I would definitely recommend staying at this place!
