We loved our stay here. Great location, cozy vibes in the hostel, with all the facilities you might need.The owners, Nick and May, are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable; their island guide is fantastic. Of course, last but not least, we have to mention the real boss of Cocoon Hostel - Ta-lay 🐶. He is an adorable and brilliant dog that is around the hostel most days; we'll miss him a lot!Would 100% recommend staying here and would definitely stay again if we return to the island.

The Cocoon Hostel really is a hidden gem on Koh Samet. Located sort of mid-way between the pier and the beach in the main walking street (close to 7/11 and Cafés) it is in a great location to enjoy your stay. Nick, former backpacker and owner of the hostel is super awesome and welcoming, invited us over for some beers and even wrote a thorough guide on what to do and see on Koh Samet. His little puppy-sized dog is the star of the hostel and welcomes every visitor with a smile. The staff has also
