Don’t pay the money!
This hostel is extremely over priced for what it is. Doors do not lock without your own padlock and not enough bathroom space.
The cleanliness of this hostel was disgusting the bed sheets had bits on them.
The staff were helpful and friendly.

Staff were so welcoming and lovely, couldn’t fault any of them and if it wasn’t for them I would’ve had the worst night of my life.
The “bunk beds” are horrendous, 1 aircon for about 6 mini cabins and then on their roofs are double mattresses with barely any space to the ceiling so you’re cramped. We paid extra to get our own space, which was cooler but still 1 aircon to share for loads of private rooms.
Wasn’t expecting much but for the price we paid (£54 on full moon), it was a scam of our money for what we got in return. Even with our upgrade we still had shared toilets and were woken up in the early hours by a man continuously spewing. Fun place, the nightlife was excellent for pres and the people were amazing, but I don’t know how the hostel itself hasn’t yet been shut down.
I will always now book in advance if we ever go full moon again, and never stay here. No wonder it was the only place on the island not sold out.

I stopped at the bar here at full moon and it was the craziest party on the block. Everyone was really friendly and the staff really seemed to love taking care of everyone. I made a ton of friends so when I was passing back through I stayed here.
When it's not full moon it's pretty mellow but a great place to relax and have a drink with the staff and chill on the beaches.
The place isn't fancy but staff keeps it clean. The beds aren't as hard as most hostels I've stayed in Thailand. They gave me an upgrade to these unique beds they have in the dorms that are tiny little wooden rooms. It gives you privacy and safety and has everything you need but much cheaper then a hotel room, and still easy to meet people. I recommend those!
Hoping I'll be back next year again!

Average
Great location as it is close to Haad Rin for the full moon party. A bit of a cramped hostel, cleanliness was average. The male manager appeared very rude and kicked out a group of girls as they were mistakenly overbooked. Woke up another morning to him yelling at 8am the next day. Don’t expect to sleep before 2am if you stay here as there is a bar attached that blares music. Great for meeting people, met a great group of friends to hang out/party with

Great host, great location!
The owner Loren is lovely. Always available with helpful tips to do around the island and also if you wanted a general chat. Great place to meet people as there is a bar on site. Accommodation is basic but the atmosphere definitely makes up for this. Highly recommened for the full moon as location is perfect, 5 min walk to the beach.

Our room flooded
Our room, on the top floor, was in 2cm of water after it rained overnight and soaked through all of our belongings. We weren't offered an apology and the one unhelpful staff member was asleep at checkout time leaving us no where to safely store our now water damaged bags.

밤새 풀문파티를 즐긴다면 추천!
밤새도록 핫린비치에서 풀문파티를 즐기신다면 추천합니다. (위치는 핫린비치에서 10분 내외로 최적입니다.)
룸상태가...정말... 침대도 엄청 붙어있고 거의 침대가 하나처럼 다 붙어있는거라고 생각하시면 됩니다.
침대에 따로 번호가 없어서 먼저 자는 사람이 주인인 꼴이고, 예약을 했는데도 베드가 없어서 바로 옆에 있는 건물의 베드로 옮겨 주긴했지만 해결까지 40분이상 기다렸구요. (그사이에 확인하거나 그런게 아니라 자기네끼리 술마시다 다시 물어보니 해결해주더라구요)
샤워는 상상도 마시구요, 딱 하루여서 다행인 숙소였습니다.
이숙소를 경험하고 나니 믹스-돔의 끝을 경험한 것 같습니다. 세수만 간단히 할수 있는 정도의 숙소구요(화장실 엄청 좁고, 너무 더러워서 수압은 확인도 안했습니다.)
결론은 숙소가 정 없다면 할수 없이 묵을 수는 있지만, 제 일행중에 한명은 차라리 핫린에서 밤을 새고 아침에 들어오더라구요... 핫린비치에서 가까운 숙소 그외에 장점이 아무것도 없습니다.

El peor hostel en el q me quede en mi vida...
Creo q lo unico bueno q se puede rescatar del hostel es su ubicacion. Carisimo!!! Sucio, con 3 baños para mas de 80 personas, de los cuales solo 2 tenian ducha y ninguno papel. Las comas son colchones uno al lado del otro sin ningun tipo de division. En algunos compartias un colchon doble con otra persona y si te tocaba en la cama de arriba las personas tenian q saltar por arriba de tu colchon para llegar al suyo.
