This place is much better than other reviews are saying. The mattresses were thick and comfortable and each bed was equipped well and the whole area was very clean including the bathroom. There was a cold water dispenser as well which was really appreciated. The aircon worked perfectly in the room. The hostel workers were kind and it was in a very accessible location from the port. There wasn’t a huge deposit to make either. I really enjoyed my stay.

Beds were very thin and not comfortable whatsoever, but nice clean hostel. Showers were pretty bad but if you’re just planning on staying for a night before going on a boat then it’s fine. Don’t expect a comfortable sleep is all I’ll say.

Don’t go there. Worst beds ever. The staff were not welcoming and didn’t speak any English. We left two days earlier because it was so bad.

About Koh Samui

As the largest of Thailand’s east-coast islands, Koh Samui has plenty going on. With a mix of shopping areas and wild landscapes, you can have the best of both worlds. Waterfall hunting, marine-park exploring and jungle trekking are just some of the adventures on offer. Or you could just hang out on some of the island’s white-sand beaches, sipping fresh coconut water.

The majority of Koh Samui hostels are clustered along the east coast. There are all kinds of places, from party pads and chilled beachside retreats to boutique bed and breakfasts. You can even stay in uniquely wonderful mud huts or wooden cabins right next to the beach. Most of the hostels in Koh Samui offer free Wi-Fi and some provide free breakfast. Check out those with swimming pools and on-site bars that bring the party to your doorstep. Find the best hostels in Koh Samui here.

Koh Samui has a few main areas to explore. The most popular is around Chaweng Beach, where you’ll find the liveliest nightlife on the island and a large shopping complex. Towards the north coast is Bophut, the Fisherman’s Village. It retains some of this tropical retreat's traditional heritage with its old Thai-Chinese wooden houses. For a spot of peace and quiet, a stay near the bay at Coral Cove lets you relax on its near-empty white-sand beach.

Travellers come to Koh Samui to party, to explore or both. Treks through the jungle take you to the island’s many waterfalls – take a dip at one of them for a tropical experience to remember. Or you could view the wilderness from above as you whizz down the island’s zip line. The Big Buddha, a 12-metre-tall statue that sits on a small island just off the coast, is worth a visit, as are the intriguing rock formations at Hin Ta and Hin Yai. From the island, you can take a boat trip to Angthong National Marine Park for the spectacular sights of its archipelago and emerald-coloured lagoon.

Relax on the stunning beaches of Koh Samui, a tropical paradise year-round. Whether you’re here for a day or two, you’ll find plenty to explore and enjoy. Discover more with our guides: Koh Samui, 24 Hours, or 2 Days.
