    Room very clean, curtains great for privacy. Family who ran were so lovely and helped us book our lake tour and stored our bags while we were on the trip. Couldn’t recommend enough. The banana pancake was also delicious!

    The bed and the pillow was bit hard, and the beds not that strong, kept making noise if below person moved.

    It was wonderful stay but stayed only for a day to be able to go on the 2 day trip to Khao Sok National Park. Did booked through them & it was good. The hostel location is walkable distance from the main road which is the "Bus Stop" around 400 meters. But the main eateries would be around 10 mins walk. Very good WIFI. Curtain privacy. Clean bathrooms. Staff was really good. Owners I guess, they helped me keep the luggage when I went for 2 days out as well took shower once I was back and they were so kind to ask me to sit inside the air condition until my time to go. Thank you.

    People leaving lights on and openned doors with AC on. Please, carbon footprint is already huge when travelling. Energy is not carbon neutral

    It was really quiet and cheap. The bed were comfortable and the room was quiet. Perfect before and after going on a tour. Really close to bus station

    Location is a bit far away from the main street, but the walk is not too long.

    Very clean, friendly staff, managed to book a bed the same day as every other hostel was fully booked, and very satisfied with the breakfast service.

    The toilet and showers can use a little more cleaning. The dormroom had a weird smell aswell, but that’s probably because of the amount of beds and mixed.

    Good aircon in the room. Nice little breakfast, close to busstop. Nice lady.

    Nothing but positives from our stay at K bunk, the staff were really helpful and friendly and the overall vibe of the hostel was like a community. They offered multiple events / excursion, we ended up joining the island hopping tour which took us around 7 different islands and even got to swim to see fluorescent plankton - a bucket list moment! Our tour guide, Joe, added a refreshing humour to the trip and was definitely the life and soul of the party, making the pub crawl one to remember- 10/10 would definitely recommend K bunk for fellow travellers!

    The property is a bit outside of city centre of Khao Sok, but that’s not a big deal at all. There is just one room with bunk beds and it is very comfortable. The owners are super friendly and funny. They help with all your questions about booking tour or transportation. And the breakfast is nothing special but tasty.

    I really enjoyed my stay. I booked a 2 day 1 night trip through them on my day of arrival and had the best time! The breakfast next morning was super good, eggs, toast, mango and pineapple. There are only 12 beds in total so you have a family atmosphere. The ladies working there are super nice and friendly, organized the bus to Phuket for me and pickup. Loved the animals that were there! Definitely would stay again.

    It was a bit far from the ‘center’ of Khao Sok. It was definitely possible to walk there but on the very hot day that we were there, we wished the walk in the sun was a little shorter.

    Everyone from the staff were super nice! They helped us plan an amazing trip to the national park as well as setting out our plans for the days after.

    It’s a bit far from the actual center of the town but on the other side you are closer to the main road so that’s cool.

    The breakfast in the morning was nice, the lady at the reception even though she doesn’t speak well English is very nice. The dorm is very spacious and you have big curtains that separate the beds, each one with its own power socket. There are several bathrooms and toilets outside the dorm.
