Great spot but the dorm was basically a shed around the side, just big enough for the two bunks and fan. While the room was not great, the rest of the place was:, 2 bars a pool, a club and live music on the grounds. Loads of places to chill and right on the beach. If I return I will definately get a better room.

I stayed in the 20 bed dorm and there literally is no space between the beds. Also outside of the dorm rooms there are wood chips to walk on which is fine but they get dragged into the room, bathroom and shower and it makes an awful mess. Not once was the room cleaned while we were there for 5 days. The pool is beautiful and the hang out area is great. The food is good at their bar and the staff very friendly. If you stay here, don't stay in the dorms stay in the bungalows which are nice.

Good in general, only observation is the cleanliness of the room. I stayed in a 6 bed dorm, stayed 5 days and got no cleaning. At least removing the trash from the room would be appreciated. Also had a water pressure problem in which I had to wait like 45 minutes to take a shower.

Thanks so much for your comments. Room cleaning is available upon request! We usually give the dorm rooms a once-over during the 5 night minimum stay, but apologize if yours was missed! Also, the water system is pretty weak here in Thailand, and even more so on our little island. Even small things like throwing tissue in the toilet can cause blockages and pressure problems. We're sorry you had to experience this while you were here! Hope you enjoyed your stay anyway and we wish you the best of luck on your future travels. Cheers, The Beach Village Team

Some dorms as small as or some as big as thirty two! Super hot they just have fans. They don't bother giving you any sheets for the dorms as its too hot. Dorms are far enough from the pool and music. Everyone saying there was really friendly and the staff were very helpful especially if you are polite. We booked our bot to koh Tao from our resort and it was 450 a person for taxi and boat- about average. Pool is cleaned lots. Started playing at noon everyday. Bungalows are classy

Thanks so much for your comments. Yes it is hot hot hot here, but all our dorms have air conditioning except the 4 bed dorm. And cover sheets are available upon request! To cool off jump in the pool and have a refreshing cocktail! Next one's on us :) Best of luck on your future travels. Cheers, The Beach Village Team

This resort made my trip! I met some wonderful people to party with while staying in the 36 bed dorm. The resort had a great pool on the beach with its own bar and a pool side food service all day. The music was great, the staff were very helpful and kind and were even able to sort all my travel needs for the the next parts of my travelling all from the resort. Great value for money and overall great place. Thank you guys.xxx

stayed in dorms while at the beach village. when it rained 2/4 dorms leeked (alot)with the other two letting in water throught the porch.The washing facilities were shocking, cold dirty water outdoor showers. the site uses wood chipping to cover most of the grounds which are imposible to keep out of the rooms/ showers. great beach, great partys/bars, good chill out area/resturant. had fun while there but was glad to be leaving.

Thanks for your comments. We apologize about the leak. Unfortunately strong monsoon rains seem to create leaks and puddles in unwanted places. We’ve done a little renovation now and this will not be a problem again. The shower/toilet units are brand new. Any issues that come up during your stay it’s best to let management know. We would be happy to help. Best of luck on your future travels! Cheers, The Beach Village Team

great hostel, with swiming pool and amazing beach, unique problem is a techno-house-minimal club also, and music sucks, for the rest is perfect, great value for your money.

Thank you for your comments. Unfortunately we can't please everyone with the music, but we do try! The bar plays different genres throughout the week, tech-house usually on Saturdays. Sorry to hear you didn't enjoy it during your stay. Best of luck on your future travels! Cheers, The Beach Village Team
