It was really handy to stay here our first night on Lanta after arriving at the pier. You can avoid all the shouting taxi’s and just walk to your accomodation. It’s a close walk to the night market and main supermarket too. The room was lovely, spacious and clean with a full glass window, so nice! Minimal, modern decor. They had a water machine and helpful staff, really liked it

I planned to stay for 2-3 days, and then stayed there for a week. I loved it. The best atmosphere ever! Two options for breakfast, but the couple who made it are so nice! And the receptionist girl also helped in everything she could. It can be a bit hot at the common area in the hot season.

Great location, staff were super friendly and helpful, the included breakfast was also unreal (fruit, snacks, cooked food too), the rooms were well airconditioned (during the hours set) and the curtains made them very private. Also was easy to book a scooter through them

We travelled through Thailand for one month and this was the Most beautyful Place that we saw. The Bungalows are right in Front of the Beach and the Host was so helpful, kind and generous!! We stayed way longer than we planed to, because Lisa was so kind and wellcoming! Book it, while it‘s not going through the roof. It is going to!!

All hostels in Ko Lanta

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Nice social hostel with restaurant, bar, pool, pool table. Near to cheap restaurants and to the beach. You can book the 4 islands tour with them for cheaper. Activities almost every night with nice staff. Clean and 2 toilets for 4 beds (great ratio)

    Ra and Suleiman were the greatest, so many free things they give such as coffee/tea/juice, breakfast, popcorn even. The location is the best hostel you’ll get in Ko Lanta, facilities were good

    Best hostel I’ve stayed in on my travels so far.Staff are so kind and will go out of their way to help you in any way they can.Breakfast you have the choice of eggs how you would like them,toast,fruit,juice,tea,coffee and muffins etc. Rooms are clean as well as the bathrooms and the beds are comfortable.Only a two minute walk to the beach and lots of nearby restaurants.There is also a separate quiet area for working and a free popcorn machine which is a nice touch. They also rent out scooters for a cheap price.
