The Hideout Samui, hotel in Koh Samui

Located in Koh Samui, 2.2 km from Mae Nam Beach, The Hideout Samui provides accommodation with a garden, free private parking and a terrace.

This place is an AWESOME little gem on Koh Samui. Very off the beaten path, quiet and peaceful with a super chill relaxing vibe. The pool was a lovely addition as well. Friendly helpful staff made sure I was comfortable and had everything I needed. I would highly recommend this place to anyone whether you're looking for a nice private villa or a super comfy dorm situation. The only "slightly" negative drawback for someone is that you "may" need a motorbike or rental car to get to it as it's a bit of a walk off the main road in Mae Nam. But with a rental you are SUPER close to "everything" including world class beaches in paradise!

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.

    I had an amazing stay at this hostel! The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, the room was clean and the bed was comfortable, and the atmosphere was so welcoming. Plus, the Persian restaurant was a delightful bonus. The flavors were incredible, the presentation was beautiful, and the service was top-notch. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a great place to stay and dine. They also have vegetarian options to choose from. There is a beautiful beach just a few minutes away and a 711 next door.

    The owner is really nice and polite, and the good kebab and fresh smoothies are also cheaper for the people who stay in the hostel.
