Hostels in Surat Thani Province, Thailand

Best hostel I’ve stayed in since travelling around south east Asia!! The rooms were brilliant, curtains on each bed and lockers for each person which ensured privacy and safety. Also the air con worked well. The staff were so kind and helpful. Bathrooms and showers were always clean. The social aspect of this hostel was great, there were upstairs beanbags and also some downstairs by the pool as well as a bar just outside the front. Would definitely go back to ubox when I’m in koh Samui next

THE BEST HOSTEL I STAYED AT IN THAILAND. Apologies for shouting, but I had an incredible experience of staying in the Dearly hostel. Hostel/Dorms: I stayed for a week in a female dorm which I would recommend - sheets changed every 3 days, new towels available daily if needed, clean and nice smelling space, and comfortable beds that were not bunk beds. Modern and fresh decor with partitions between beds for more privacy. Such a simple and smart solution! Lovely and friendly cleaning ladies as well:)) The hostel itself surrounded by palm trees; I would definitely recommend to check out their common space on the 3rd floor (pictures attached). Shared Bathroom: clean, modern and nicely smelling bathrooms with shampoo and soap provided in the showers. Diving: I did the PADI open water course organised via dear hostel. As I was staying for a week the hostel offers a good deal for the accommodation combined with diving. The big advantage is a deep swimming pool at the hostel where you can practise diving skills before going into the open water. The swimming pool itself was great - they use salt instead of chlorine, which is both appreciated for the skin and hair. I would definitely recommend the diving instructor we had - Fam - who made us feel comfortable and ready to move from the swimming pool to open water diving. When speaking with other people staying in the hostel they also had a very positive experience with their diving instructors. Social: the hostel organised daily activities which were written on the blackboard in the lobby. I have not participated in many as I have been diving/studying for diving at the time, but it sounded like a good opportunity to meet other ppl. Personally, I made the most connections in my dorm bed and during breakfasts:) really great people and smiley faces with people wanting to be approachable. For partying we were going to the Sairee beach part of the island. This is not a party hard hostel, but it had a very good atmosphere of pre-drinks before going out and having a beer with some friends. Staff: very helpful, attentive and accommodating staff. Good email communication as well:) Breakfast: served 7-10 am; very useful to have it in the hostel when doing morning dives; everyday breakfast included toast, pancakes, fruit in coconut milk, and a rice/rice noodle dish. This was the first hostel breakfast I could eat in Thailand as I have food allergies and the rice/rice noodle dish was always very tasty. I recommended this hostel to three of my travel friends & all really enjoyed their stay here. For me, there is no other hostel alternative on Koh Tao ;) definitely will be back for another diving session! Thank you!

Location is really good, right on the beach and right in town. Would recommend getting a bike here as you can park directly in front of your little bungalow. The bungalows are quiet but very small, the bathroom is also tiny and has a little shower right next to the toilet. The locks on the doors are also weird. I do think it’s slightly overpriced but overall we had a nice stay here.

Beautifully designed and thoughtful spaces. Smart TV & Netflix available. A variety of good food can be ordered. Has a small shop for snacks. Great if you fancy a peacful restful holiday or working holiday where you won't spend too much money, also great for prolonged stays if you want to work digitally write or create Art. Walks in the countryside and a detox from busy city life. The owners/staff were very warm and welcoming and available to help. Amazing value, in the city this would cost minimum 2500 baht. Very impressed!

I enjoyed my stay at Hi Samui Hostel. The rooms were clean, modern, and comfortable. It's a bit quiet now as they’ve just reopened under new ownership, but it’s shaping up to be a great spot once everything is finalized. Looking forward to seeing how it evolves!

This actually the first time i write a review for a placed i actually did not stay in, but i just want to share a quick experience i had with the place and the reasons why i am writing this review which can be useful to people with regards to SERVICE from this place. We rode with my family down to Haad Rin on scooters and we stopped by the beach. As the main beach parking seemed quite full, we stopped a few meters before at Yoghurt services parking lot. I was just busy saying my wife she should stay by the scooters with the kids while i ask the owner of the place if it is fine for us to park here. Just at this moment, a lady rushed out the office and tell us that this parking is for their customer. I told her i have seen the signboard but i was actually on my way to ask them if we were allowed to park. She continued in a cold and unfriendly manner that we must asked before i park, something that did not make sense to me and i explained her that it is difficult to ask something to somebody who is sitting in an office while your outside on a scooter. You have to park your vehicle at some point to be able to go and talk to the person who is in the office. I did not want to bother further. I understand this is their place, so we managed to find some space eventually in the main parking. My experience mainly to share with you the expectation you can have in terms of customer service with this place. I can't judge of their accommodation, and that why i do not want to put a too negative review and i get it that they may sometimes face abusive tourist that just use their space without asking. But eventually, my experience with Yoghurt Home staff was only one of the two negative experience i had with Thai people, while most are all friendly and welcoming.

Классный!)Прям на Хаад-Рине! Выходишь- и ты уже на пляже 🌴 И с фулмуна, если утром тяжело идти😅,спокойно доберётесь своими ногами.Днём ,в жару хорошо отсыпаться,темнота и прохлада в номерах. Рекомендую👌👌👌

Cannot recommend enough! Originally booked for 2 nights over full moon, ended up staying over 2 weeks. The main reason for that wasn’t just the perfect atmosphere, delicious food, comfortable surroundings, great amenities, but the STAFF! I cannot thank the team for being so unbelievably amazing. Big shout outs especially go to Mark the manager, Nicky & Sak. Many thanks to all the rest of the team that keep the operation running ever so smoothly. Mark was an absolute pleasure & works very hard to interact with the guests & is a true professional. He’s cheeky charm & charismatic personality was flawless. So thank you Mark for pouring my G&Ts every single day haha! Nicky & Sak. True hosts & ever so lovely. Thank you for looking after me during my stay, you guys were so appreciated xx If you want a home from home with added personality & fun, Echo is the place to be. Hopefully see u guys soon!

I stayed here for 3 weeks in 2024. The rooms themselves are quite nice, given the price point. The onsite convenience store was in fact, quite convenient. It stocks everything from toothpaste, to beer to mosquito repellant. On site laundry is a blessing. There is also a bank machine and ATM right outside the store. On the flip side, the views from the room are problematic. If you get the 'sea side' view, you overlook single story concrete huts. You also get to smell the freshly burned garbage from an open bonfire, next door to the motorcycle repair shop. The pool is a bit small and frequently in use by scuba diving courses and now children's swim lessons. All in all, it was a good stay and I have little to complain about.

Very nice and clean room, I would certainly return to this hostel when I enter and leave Pangan

This is hands down the best hostel we have stayed in so fair travelling SE Asia. The rooms are clean comfortable and spacious. The pictures do not do this hostel justice. The hostel is close to everything especially 7/11 with lots of lovely places to eat in the surrounding area. The staff were lovely and very helpful. Would stay again in a heartbeat. 11/10 stars!!

The Hideout Hostel is in the perfect location, everything is just a few minutes away. Haad Rin Beach with its many bars and restaurants is the perfect place to relax, and the Full Moon Party is also the biggest party on Koh Phangan. Another recommendation is Rin Nai Beach, where you can enjoy the beautiful sunsets with a cocktail. The Hideout Hostel also impresses with super friendly owners, cleanliness and a relaxed atmosphere. You can also easily rent a scooter around the corner. The owners were able to help me with all of my questions and problems. I felt at home, I will definitely come back next year. I miss you already :D Nice people, cool location and breathtaking island! I will definitely come back!!! Thanks again for the information and insider tips.

We have recently stayed for 6 days at the PS Thana and can thoroughly recommend it. It is very good value for money compared to some of the other accommodations in the Choeng Mon area. We had a Pool-side Villa and it was more than adequate for our requirements. Everything worked perfectly. We had self-catering facilities (not that we used them ourselves) but useful if you wanted to cook in sometimes. Breakfast was a bit limited but enough to keep us going until lunchtime! Thanks to Peang, her mum and the PS Thana Team and a special shout-out to Jackie Chan for his sense of humour and friendliness! We actually preferred staying here rather than the big hotel further down the beach where we stayed for our second week! PS Thana had a generally better vibe and atmosphere probably because it's more compact! We really enjoyed our stay here and hope to return again at some time!

Since there was a pandemic lockdown they gave me a really good deal on the price of the room for one month. 400 bhat a day. The location was preferable too. They have around 7-8 cats that are around the property at all times sometimes they would even come into my room and demand food and I didn't hesitate to give them. It's quite nice to have furry beings around when ur alone. Anyway, the stay was averagely mediocre..however the running water from the tap and shower smelled absolutely horrible and odd at all times like it was being drawn from a contaminated ground, they should look into it. The owner of the place was really nice and helpful. There were many staff members working there since they also have a running restaurant during the day time. Sometimes, I did get the sense that when I left the property, somebody snooped through my things because I realize that my things didn't remain the way the were since I left.

Wonderful hotel! Friendly staff. We asked for a table and they brought it to us. According to the reviews, we were prepared for the worst, but we were lucky, as always)) The view was a luxurious, cozy balcony and the noise somehow didn’t bother us at all. We were lucky, apparently we were on the lucky side. The room is comfortable, the air conditioning works well, comfortable beds, a kettle, mugs and glasses, teaspoons. There is gel and shampoo in the shower. And the most important thing is super flying Internet! We would have stayed even longer, but the places were all taken. The hotel is located right next to the Central Festival Shopping Center. There's also a night market there. The beach is a maximum of 10 minutes, the landmark is opposite McDonald's, which is closer to the center. I thank the hotel owners and staff for the warm welcome and good attitude!

The shore, Samui. We were assaulted and kicked out by the the owner who goes by the name of Mike. Let me first explain how it all started: We had a reservation from 13-17. However ,because of the long distance travel, and very limited ferry’s operational hours, we couldn’t get there until the 14th. Once we get there, he fraudulently canceled our reservation in order not to pay any commission fees to the booking.com. Later, we realized he had cancelled our reservation so we couldn’t write a bad review too! We paid him for two days in cash, and I even paid 300 baht more on top of that for the inconvenience which he gladly accepted. The problem started when my car’s tire accidentally hit their flower vase and broke it. Before they said anything, we had already offered to pay for it which we did. However, right after that, he suddenly went crazy on me and my wife and started shouting at us and pushing us, and told us to get out. We asked for a refund for one day as they were the ones kicking us out! They refused. We had to get the police involved and through their assistance, almost two hours later, we got our money back. By then, it was midnight, and like homeless, we had to look for a place to stay, Our vacation was ruined completely. We were humiliated, and it was a very unpleasant experience after all. I would not even recommend this place to my enemy! There is no pool by the way as he falsely advertises on other platforms. Only one private pool which only one room can use it! The balconies are right next to the stairs, so people go up and down, they can stare right into your room, no privacy! Avoid void! To be honest, even one rating is one too many for this place!

Everything was fine. You get what you pay for. Good atmosphere too givenbthat everyone is friendly and agreeable. No complaints at all. There are shops close by including 7/11 and its not that far from a couple of good beaches. The lady that manages the place is cool and chilled and Batman (the Doggie) organises security at the front door lol.

是個不錯的居住空間，夜晚睡覺很安静
