This is an amazing place to stay! Its a hostel and a homestay, Banana and her family are so kind and welcoming and make AMAZING food. Great breakfast included and she even made dinner for us one night and it was one of the best meals I've had in Thailand. The 4 bed dorm room was very comfortable and clean. The location is great, its more in the jungle but only a quick walk to 7/11 and the beach. Loved my stay and hope to be back one day.

A special hostel experience 10/10! This small, family-run hostel with a Thai family is something completely different from the typical hostel stays. It’s incredibly authentic, and you really get a genuine insight into the local culture. From the moment you arrive, you feel like part of the family. The hosts speak excellent English, which makes everything easy and comfortable right away. The atmosphere is warm, peaceful, and super relaxing

Such a great hostel! You need to walk uphill to access the property, but the beach is right at the bottom of the hill, along with lots of restaurant options. Banana makes each guest feel at home with her amazing cooking skills and help with booking taxis, giving recommendations, etc.
