    The view is awesome and the staff very friendly. It took a while to check in but it was busy so to be expected. The Aircon leaked on my bed which was slightly annoying but on the whole a great place to stay

    I didn't like that the staff was knocking heavily on the door like crazy everyday at the dorm to know if we want to participate to the events. Just an announce in the whatsapp group would be enough. I saw the way the cleaning staff "cleans" the bedsheets and I can tell you they don't wash the duvet. Instead they spray some horrible perfumed product for you not to smell it was already used. Then the room smells heavily with the product. This kind of thing should be illegal it's full of endocrine disruptor, that's perfect for lungs also...if you don't believe me smell your duvet 🤡

    I liked the view mainly and the swimming pool

    They spray a product on the sheets with a strong chemical odor and do not aerate. Enough to get poisoned and provoke allergies. Why do you do that? Making me wonder if they wash the sheets...

    Just one bathroom for 6 people, it was fine but sometimes took a while until everyone could use it.

    It was really social, had a nice view and the pool was really nice. The boat tour was fun and a good way to meet new people.

    The toilet and the stairs.

    not stairs but the view from the pool is such a vibe. And also that would be great if we could flush the water in the toilet more than one time.

    The boat tour we did was really not worth the money and not enjoyable. The gym is not free but 150 baht for entry. I went to the all you can drink night and it was okay.

    The location has nice views, but a bit far from the beaches but really not bad. The pool was nice! The staff were friendly, but as expected at a party hosted by they were focused on drinking and partying with each other (but did make an effort to get to know guests)

    Not the nicest hostel I’ve ever stayed in. The blanco at Koh Lanta is way nicer so I had higher expectations. The bathroom didn’t feel very clean and the shower stunk of urine.

    It’s good enough and social. Good location.

    Quite expensive for a bunk bed in Thailand - but there aren't many options at Railay Beach, so you have to take it or leave it... Pool seemed a bit dirty and the "sunbeds" (pillows) where quite worn down. No privacy curtains on bed. En-suite bathroom had bad drainage and was constantly wet. They keep your passport, which no other place have done.

    Seems like a nice place if you want to socialize but also want to be able to sleep, as bar closes at 10pm (you still get a lot of drunk people coming home all morning waking you up, but managable). As the town is so small, it was a fine location - stairs are a bit tough, but not to bad.

    Most of the staff are terrible. Only the ladies doing check in and out are actually friendly and helpful. You also need to pay for everything in this hostel (including all social events). This is the only place I've stayed in Thailand where a hostel "family dinner" was not free. The events run by the hostel are also poor. The trivia was just terribly run and the staff were just rude. The bathrooms could also be cleaner. Finally, they keep hold of your passport when you check in which should not be allowed. Unfortunately, with no real hostel competition at Railay, if you want to stay in a hostel at Railay you don't really have any other options.

    The pool and views of Railay from this hostel are great! The stairs also aren't that bad. It's just like staying on the 3rd floor in a building without a lift.

    They take your passport as deposit. My passport actually says that my passport cannot be used as a deposit. The reasoning given for taking it as a deposit was that Railay does not have immigration/ police, so if you do something bad at least you can’t go far. However, there are plenty of other remote places that don’t require your passport, so I really don’t see the justification.

    Great location, lovely pool/ outdoor area.

    Pay to refill drinking water. This hostel is already very expensive, it's honestly much better to stay in Ao Nang.

    6-bed room was in a bungalow above the pool and had windows for natural light (unlike the 10-bed room). Pool and view are nice. Good daily social activities.
