About

A fun and sociable hostel located on Railay East with a panoramic view over the beach and surrounding mountains. Featuring a pool, two bars, restaurant and common areas for sunbathing and socialising. Blanco is the only hostel in Railay so it's easy to meet fellow backpackers. All of our rooms are air conditioned. Free wifi throughout the property. Blanco Hideout Railay is a resort style hostel. Each of our 4, 6 and 8 bed rooms are all surrounding our pool and garden area and our private bungalows have sea views. Our pool bar closes at 10:30pm so a good nights sleep isn't an issue.

We also have daily events happening at Blanco Hideout, from Pub Crawls, Pool Parties, Boat Parties and Pub Quiz nights. The crew at Blanco are here to make sure you have an awesome time while in Railay Beach!

If we are full, please check out Social Quarters, it's just around the corner and you still get access to Blanco Hideout and all the awesome daily events!

All of our rooms are equipped with A/C, showers and toilets, power sockets, reading lights and massive lockers for each of the beds. We provide towels and a proper comfy duvet for free.

We recommend booking more than 2 or 3 nights as Railay is famous for its white beaches and insane rock climbing. We have many different rock climbing packages to chose from with the most experience guides that are licensed and insured. Our staff know all the inside info so be sure to ask us at reception for all the best beaches, viewpoints, jungle treks, kayaking and other cool things to do in Railay. ATM's, Gym, mini marts are all within walking distance of our hostel.

Please note, big group bookings made 1-3 days prior to arriving can not be guaranteed to be in the same room when booking the 4 or 6 bed dorms. Please email us after the booking and we will try our best to put everyone together.

We also do not accept group bookings if the beds are not full, ie, 3 people booking 4 beds in a 4 bed dorm. Please only book the number of beds you require.

The location was very nice although we had to climb up a lot of stairs to get to the reception area, and even more to get to our rooms. The cleanliness of the outside areas was acceptable, although I did ask once for a pool skimmer net because the water was full of insects, and was responded with a "just use the pool and stop complaining". Inside the rooms, the bunkbeds lacked curtains and bathrooms were dirty. The staff was not very useful in helping us around either.

staff were unhelpful, beds had no curtains, they charged 20 baht per bottle of water refill?? really surprised a hostel doesn’t have free water as every one we’ve been to so far has. they also took our passports as a deposit which is illegal. can’t comment on the atmosphere or social-ness as we chose not to get involved but met some nice people in our room. also place smelt of sewage on the last day we were there. only good thing was the ferry we booked through them was easy.
