Noise at night

Very good location, friendly and helpful staff

It is quite noisy because of the bar in the same building. If you’re not here to party, this hostel may not be the best choice.

Great value for its price. Good enough facilities and location. But the best part is that it's relaxing and a great hub for meeting fellow travellers. My bed was close to Brian's bar which gets noisy at night but in a good way. It grows on you. I hope this place stays the same next time i visit. Also, I saw three chunky fluff balls. Apparently they don't get along lol These fellas were chill and moody af walking around the place 🙃

The bed and floor wasn't as clean as expected especially since you can't wear shoes inside.

Privacy, lockers available if you wish, great working AC to combat the humid temperatures, close to the main road and easily accessible, friendly hostel cats, helpful staff. Much cheaper to book direct as figured out when I extended.

There is a bar connected to the hostel so if you're not out partying the noise can be very loud until 12-1am every night (except Wednesdays). Easily fixed with ear plugs.

Price. Comfortable bed. Towel included. There is a nice bar next door.

It is difficult to go up on the top bunk. The stairs are done by thin metal rods. It hurts feet to step on them. The hostel is located on an open area. You have to pay 10RM of tourism tax on top of the price given on booking.com. Credit card not accepted.

Location wise perfect, felt like own home, fantastic.

Absolutely loved my stay at Boxpackers Langkawi! The vibe here is so chill and welcoming—it felt like the perfect island home. The bar is such a cool hangout spot to meet fellow travelers, unwind, and enjoy great drinks after a long beach day. And honestly, one of the sweetest parts of the stay? The friendly cats roaming around the hostel! They made the place feel extra cozy and homely. The location is fantastic, super close to the beach, local restaurants, and shops—everything you need is just a walk away. The hostel itself is very well maintained, and I really appreciated the cleanliness of both the dorms and common spaces. If you’re heading to Langkawi and want good vibes, great people, and a laid-back space with a touch of home (and cats!)—Boxpackers is the place to be! Would love to come back. 🏝️🐾

Nice and special vibe in the Hostel.

The atmosphere in the bar or the hostel is just welcoming and so relaxed! I met so many people and kind of find a home far away from home and hope to come back at some point. June does everything for his guests, you can ask anything and he will try to help you. And he's the basketball player ever ;) The cats and hammocks are the best. I had a great time and wish I would've stayed longer!!

The cats.

pictures are misleading . Rented 25RM/nite bed. Owner demanded 10RM more for "Taxes". Paid full in Cash and left within 2hrs. It looks more like rundown homeless place trying to be hippie. Bed sheets not washed properly. Furniture looks like a throw away with extreme hygiene issues. Sanitation problem written all over the place. Owner seem Fake with unpleasant welcoming

I had the best stay at Boxpackers. Clean, comfortable and great location. Good WiFi and a nice bar to enjoy a drink after a day exploring the island. Without doubt the standout at this hostel is the owner - June!! June is kind, funny and willing to go above and beyond to make your stay as comfortable as possible.
