    It was wonderful but by night as a female solo traveller it becomes quite quiet on the last stretch of the walk up. Literally just the last 50 yards so it wouldn’t put me off booking again.

    This is a real gem! Yes it’s a very steep hill but once there this became a haven for me. Peaceful and almost felt like a home stay as the family are around. They were warm, welcoming and accommodating. Everything was clean and it was a nice touch to have tea/coffee, biscuits and toast available.

    The staff that took care of the hostel were probably some of the nicest people we've ever met, so I'm going to take a moment now to write about our stay. 1. A boy who helped take our luggage up to the hostel. Our suitcases weighed 21 kilograms, which I felt ashamed of and was very much appreciated! 2. The level of attentiveness of the service is really unparalleled: The hostel itself: set up a bar with tea, coffee, water dispenser, and even a variety of island essentials such as sunscreen, after sun cream, mosquito repellent, and medicine for abdominal pain. There are also waterproof bags, swimming glasses and towels that are free to borrow. Room: very big room, very big bed. Cleaning was done well and when the staff would carefully fold the clothes I left on the bed. Hotel attendants: 1. In the morning I go to the front desk to work and to enjoy the view and breakfast. I kept scratching my feet from mosquito bites and without asking the attendant brought a bottle of mosquito repellent when she saw it. 2. We accidentally lost the key to the locker and the hotel staff opened it for us straight away without asking for a fee at all and refused the tip I handed over. 3. The next day when we went down the mountain, the guy who helped us open the lock yesterday helped us push our luggage down, and this time also refused the tip I wanted to give. Because I think he genuinely just wanted to help. (There was another boy who specialized in helping with luggage) (Tipping aside, I feel guilty because of the weight of the luggage and the distance traveled, I want to tell you these things because they struck me as genuine, kind people in their own ways, with a passion for taking care of hotels and travelers, and because of that passion I not only want the hotel to be successful, but I hope that great things will happen to them.) Thank you for everything, you have made our trip better and I wish you all the best of luck!

    The guy there doesn’t have a very good English, but he is laughing all the time. There were some awkward situations.

    Super nice view from the hostel, there is a steep slope but worth it. Quiet place away from the town, though you can still hear the music, but bearable. Facilities are in good conditions and super clean. I would recommend this place.

    This was my own mistake, but there was no AC the first two nights. I didn’t know the remote was on the wall. They showed me where and then it was great the last night!!! You can still hear the music from the beach bars until 3am. Not their fault though. It’s as quiet as you’ll get on phi phi! The bathroom did have a stench sometimes.

    The best part about this place are the people who run it!!! Most kind and caring family! They always provided what was needed. Whether it was a poncho, a dry bag, a cell phone case, snacks, coffee, etc. they provided it. A button fell off my dress and the sewed it back on for me! Truly the kindest hostel hosts EVER.

    It was a real trek up to the property, about 15 mins walk to the centre of Phi Phi which is fine, but just how rugged and uphill the paths are. I think it should be better warned when booking that this is the case, I still think it was worth it for the view but it’s not accessible for people who aren’t of a moderate level of fitness or have mobility issues

    The view was incredible, I really liked the food/coffee etc that was free for everybody to use. Also sunscreen and after sun etc

    Owners were very kind and warm. The view is amazing as name suggests, it was totally worth the little bit of uphill walk. They helped with my luggage in the check-in, literally found me after the ferry arrived which I didn't expect. Snacks (toast & noodle) and drinks provided in common area, which made me enjoy the view more.

    There were only two toilets/shower per 10 people and it just gets messy with almost not place to hang your clothes. As much as they do their best to keep the toilets clean overall is just not enough for the number of people in the rooms

    The name says it all, the view is stunning! Owners are very chill and willing to help It’s not a party hostel and it’s small so every traveller you meet has a story to tell, I met some great people over there. Bed is comfy and has a nice view of the island! It’s located on the foot of a hill, but worth every step, it’s a party island and that hill is as quiet as it gets

    On top of a hill which is tedious at the end of the day, but the entire island is so walkable that it's totally fine.

    Best hostel I've ever stayed at. Kindest staff. Best amenities. Loveliest views. Peaceful spot amongst the chaos of Phi Phi. Singlehandedly made my vacation the best it could be. Bathrooms were cleaned frequently, and my bed was always made as well. Laundry service fast and convenient.
