This is one of the best hostels in South East Asia that I've stayed in. Lovely vibe here. Great value for money and location.. Private dorm bed with fan. Quiet and comfortable. Hot shower with free soap, shampoo, teeth set. Great kitchen facilities and seating area outside. The owner Nanda is a wonderful and friendly man. Can I please recommend a great place to eat?? Look up Selera Lubuk Buaya restaurant. It has the most amazing barbeque fish. My friend from here took me there and dinner for 2 was only 60 ringit. Incredible price for so much tasty food.😁

Mahsuri International Exhibition Centre is 9 km from MIMPIMOON Bunk Beds & Home, while Telaga Harbour is 14 km from the property. The nearest airport is Langkawi International Airport, 6 km from the hostel.

Good vibes... Best hostel to meet other travelers and have fun together.. Cleaning is done regularly! The owners and volunteers are simply the best! Always helpful and friendly. The simple breakfast is included in the price (toast, butter, jam, tea and coffee as much as you want). Almost everyone extends their stay...you just don't want to leave. Thank you everyone for this wonderful time with you! PS: dont forget to love the Cat Family living here💚💚💚

All guest rooms come with a fridge, oven, a coffee machine, a shower, a hairdryer and a desk. The hostel provides some units with pool views, and rooms come with a balcony. At Dar Yasmine Motel all rooms have a private bathroom and bed linen.

Went for a short trip at the motel and met few new girl friends from the same dorm. It's really a budget room to stay but, fully equipped with hair dryer, ceiling fan and indoor sharing toilet. The host provided a small kitchen at the back, if u're having a long stay u can make your own breakfast there too ,with free tea and coffee, together with washing machine for your daily laundry. Some cute cats around u can play with. There's also a huge pool outside of our dorm. Since it's raining season here, i wouldn't be able to join Jay's yatch tour as he also offered a sunset cruise tour for his guest. Walking distance to Cenang beach around 2 minutes with nearby restaurant and mini mart.Thanks a lot. 🙏

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    What a fab hostel! The staff were super friendly and helpful. The cleanest hostel we've ever stayed at and everyone was very respectful. Great common area to meet other travellers and a good setup for those wanting to work remotely. Great location - the night market is a must and the restaurant under the café was amazing for a cheap breakfast!

    The hostel was a great location, close to the beach! It was good value for money and the private room was exactly what we needed for our time there (3nights). June was helpful - we booked the mangrove tour with him and would 100% recommend (it was interesting and good value) and the bar at the back of the hostel was also good and cheap drinks!

    Chill and welcoming hostel in great location, walking distance to two beaches. June is the most friendly and helpful host ever! Also, if you are a cat lover, this is the place to be! The hostel is located next door to the best bar in Langkawi, Brian’s Bar, which is great for meeting people! Comfy beds and full kitchen. Great value too.

    Very friendly hosts. Common area was very cosy. Decently priced packages. Clean comfortable beds and clean showers. Safe spaces to store baggage and personal belongings. Strategic location, walking distance to Pantai Cenang and food stalls. Our first time trying a backpackers hostel and we were pleasantly surprised! Would recommend and come again the next time :)
