Aforetime House @ Samui

Taling Ngam Beach

At the hostel, rooms include a balcony with a sea view. The rooms include air conditioning, and some rooms at Aforetime House @ Samui have a patio. At the accommodation each room is fitted with bed linen and towels. Sam, the owner, is so friendly and helpful! The hostel is clean, comfortable and in a lovely peaceful location. You are less than a minute's walk away from the beach, as well as being opposite a little shop and restaurant. There are plenty of other gorgeous beaches nearby as well, I have stayed in over 20 hostels and this one is up there with my absolute favourites! You can order breakfast in the morning, which is very affordably priced, and you can enjoy it on the balcony. They have kayaks and SUPs available for hire, as well as scooters/ mopeds - the latter I highly recommend for at least a day so that you can explore the island. You can also organise for Sam to pick you up from the jetty and drop you off as well, which is a big help and is much more reasonable than getting a taxi. Sam's hospitality makes this place special, I wish I could have stayed longer!

At the hostel, rooms include a wardrobe. Rooms are equipped with air conditioning, and some rooms at The Rock Samui - formerly known as The Rock Residence - SHA Extra Plus have a balcony. At the accommodation all rooms include bed linen and towels. Everything perfect, the best combination of a hostel and a hotel. Private beach (in my opinion one of the best on Ko Samui), yummy food, hostel rooms very clean, comfortable and sleeping there was really nice. Free drinking water for guests in the shared kitchen as well! Jerome helped with everything and I am so happy I spent my time on Ko Samui here. I truly think this was better than 90% of accomodations I’ve ever visited throughout Asia, and I definitely will be coming back here. 11/10
