Set in Lipa Noi, 2.4 km from Laem Din Beach, Baan Hinlad Home and Hostel offers accommodation with free bikes, free private parking, a garden and a shared lounge. Boasting a concierge service, this property also has a restaurant and a terrace. The hostel also provides free WiFi as well as a paid airport shuttle service. One of our favourite hostels during our 10 month trip. Anjar is an incredible host - he kindly greeted us at the pier and made us feel immediately welcome. The property overlooks a tropical garden with the most magical terrace. We spent our time watching the rain and enjoying nature whilst drinking a coffee, or morning yoga using their complimentary mats! It’s in a quieter area, immersed in nature… Anjar can have a scooter delivered to you on arrival if you want to explore the island. This place is truly magical and I wish we could return.

Ananas Samui Hostel features an outdoor swimming pool, garden, a shared lounge and terrace in Laem Set Beach. With free WiFi, this 3-star hostel has a restaurant and a bar. The accommodation provides evening entertainment and a tour desk. Everything was great! The owner is pretty sweet and gives you free coffee and free mango anytime. The place is super clean andmake sure to rent a scooter, as the location is quite far from the main tourist attractions.

At the hostel, all rooms have a terrace. All guest rooms will provide guests with a microwave. The room was very comfortable and clean. It had all you need for comfortable stay. It was also cleaned by request during our long stay. Common kitchen well equipped, had mixer, microwave, toaster, rice cooker and gas stove with all utilities. I cooked breakfasts and sometimes even dinners there. Plenty areas where you can chill in common area. Good WiFi. Location is quiet and a bit distant from supermarkets, atm and exchange. But stuff was very accommodating and helped us with the ride for very friendly price. Also you can rent a scooter and it will be very convenient. There are few nice restaurants in a walking distance, beach is 400 meters from the place. It’s ok to swim in the evening, but in the morning time ebb tide is strong and you will need swimming shoes to go through line of stones to reach water. Overall we had great stay there.
