Summary of traveller reviews

While Away in Koh Lanta is praised for its incredibly friendly and helpful staff, making guests feel at home. It's conveniently located near the beach and offers good value for money, including a simple breakfast. However, some recent reviews mention issues with cleanliness and very hard beds.

Don’t bother booking the cheap option. Unless you wanna sleep on a literal brick go ahead. Owner was very kind tho. Very helpful and chatty so that’s a plus. The free breakfast is two poached eggs and a couple slices of toasts.

I only stayed here for one night, everything was reasonable for the price. Pretty standard hostel. I really appreciated the owner- she helped us book a bus very last minute.
