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 place was great! The staff were so welcoming and inclusive. I really didn’t want to leave! The pool was fabulous and everyone there seemed so happy to be there. I sure was. It was heartbreaking to leave but I totally want to come back.

Beds are rock solid and the pillow isn’t far off it either , the tiniest window so it’s basically pitch black in the room and feels like a prison cell . The shower and toilet is awful they may clean it but it feels dirty still and full of mosquitoes. The rep was really lovely though and gave recommendations on where to eat etc. the steps up to the hostel killed me off each time so if you don’t like steps avoid haha . I would just stick to day trips to Railay in future I think

Overall having a hostel on Railey is great. Idyllic location and the hostel put on lots to entertain people at night. Pros- location, entertainment Cons- Mattress (I’ve lay on carpeted floors softer, they are ?leather and ripped), bedding wasn’t changed once when staying there and I didn’t see them changing the duvet (there is no duvet cover) when cleaning out rooms. Stairs to the hostel are absolutely mental (if you don’t like walking up stairs you can’t stay here 🤣), they are a vibe though
