Mosquito netting for the bed, although we didn’t have to use it, fridge and air conditioning all for an amazing price.

    Lovely hostel. The owners are super lovely and helpful. Helped us book transport, trips, were super chatty with us and even asked around the hostel to see if others wanted to join us to go to the old town festival that was on to make the taxi cheaper! Bathrooms had enough toilets and showers for everyone and the room was clean and comfortable!

    It was cheap, but probably more suited to backpacker's than a couple. It was right next to the beach, second villa in from the beach.

    The best hostel in Koh Lanta. I was travelling alone and I’ve met great people there. There is a bar in the hostel and we hung out every night. And the owners are just the kindest! The location is perfect - next to a beautiful beach and cool beach bars where you can have a cocktail and watch the sunset:)

    It is the best place in Lanta for a backpacker. It is cheap, it is basic but clean, it is a bangalow all to yourself. It has a bathroom and a hammock. Owners are super polite and helpful, really nice family. With them you can book your tours and transport. I stayed there for more than a week and I recommend!

    Great location Large room, air conditioning, hot water, includes a TV (but we never used) Room cleaning each day, includes 2 bottles of water and toilet paper. They offer a cheap laundry service and dropped the clothes to our door! The lady that runs the place gave me a discount on scooter rental which made it very good value for a week. Lovely stay on Koh Lanta
