    It was my second time visiting the hostel. Very nice experience! Very friendly and heart opening owners taking care of their guests. For me the best hostel in Thailand!

    There was no shared kitchen or coffee machine or kettle to use, which are listed amenities on booking . com. I was struggling to get hot water for my morning tea because I wake up really early and the restaurant opens at 9. Kettle would be really useful and not expensive investment ;)

    Amazing hostel! Thanks for making my Phayam visit as nice as it was. This place had such a good vibe, which in my opinion is hard to find. The staff were always friendly and welcoming. Felt more home than any hostel or hotel before. There was really nice chill atmosphere. Enough space for peace and quiet and at the same time the restaurant was like a social hub. Like your own living room. And always good music! Which is also hard to find :D Also the volume level was perfect. Not too loud. So for me, this was perfect. 100% chill vibes. Ended up staying for 2 weeks.

    Nothin :)

    I loved the hostel, it was a short walk away from the beach. Beds were very comfy and the dorm was pretty quiet. The hostel was very clean and is a great place if you travel alone and want to get to know other people. You have a lot of places to hang out in the hostel area. They provide free drinking water and lots of different food and drinks. I think this has been one of the best hostels I’ve been to so far!

    The dorm has no a/c there is a mini fan in each bed but it doesn’t help much, so at 10 max you’ll be woken up by the heat.

    Tropical hostel is a vibe! We had an awesome stay there, plenty of space to hang out with the people you’ll meet there, comfy beds and big lockers, clean and fun!

    The only thing I can say it's that there's a party at hostel once a month. It's impossible to sleep, but if you join the party then you won't have that problem. Party was really cool!!

    Everything was awesome. Bathrooms are clean (for the number of people using them), and there's always toilet paper. Beds are very comfy and spacious. Big storage for the suitcase. The staff is very helpful, friendly. Food and smoothies are also good!!

    This hostel is by far the best one I ever stayed in. Almost everyone staying here had to extend their stay at least once, because it is just so comfortable in here. If you like hippie vibes and not so crowded beaches, Koh Phayam is really it for u. This hostel is truly a hidden gem :)) lots of love

    Nothing, it was as expected and an amazing stay. :)

    One of the best and sociable Hostels I've ever stayed in. All the stuff does their best to make your stay unforgettable. The beds have curtains for some privacy, and the lockers are huge (my big and my small backpack both fit in there) it is clean and pretty well maintained. Hammocks all over the place as well as Table tennis in the bar area. On my last night they set up a movie night. It is 5 minutes walking distance from the beach. Mini Mart right across the street and several restaurants in walking distance. Thanks for everything Ing, Jane, Ohm & Wi :)

    Minor technicality, which I know will be solved…more toilet paper in the bathrooms for when it runs out. Screens over the drain plugs in the bathrooms just in case anything drops while you’re getting ready over the sink.

    There are so many things I loved about this property! First and foremost is the staff, they are so friendly, helpful, kind, generous, and thoughtful. I happen to be here for Christmas and they had a secret Santa and a community dinner. It was so incredible to connect with so many people. The owner, Ing, cares so much about the people that come here and also about her staff. Joan, Fong, Sarah, Om and others, whose names I can’t remember… Everyone was so wonderful! The dorms are clean. The beds are comfortable. There’s a wonderful café open from 9 AM to 9 PM with all kinds of great things to eat. Space really fosters a sense of community and connection for visitors. And even welcome those that don’t stay here. A convenient location to Long Beach, and all the parties and festivities that happen at the bungalows on the beach. Plus great for early-morning beach runs and swimming. It’s close by to the main road. If you don’t have a scooter, you can walk to lots of great places to eat and shops nearby.

    The meals could have been a little larger (but I'm like a realy realy good eater)

    Great hostel. The stuff is absolutly amazing. Friendly, openminded and always there if you need anything. The location is awesome. Only 2 minutes walk to the beach, a minimart right around the corner, great food and drinks at the hostel restaurant/bar with very fair prices. On top there is offered so much from renting surfboards, table tennis, checkboards and other games... and a lot more. There is rainforestshowers where you can cool down while watching the moon or stars at night. I even got a haircut for free. For the stoners there is like a little coffeeshop where you can enjoy some of the good stuff (as people told me). I can just deeply recomend this place. Awesome atmosphere, great vibes and awesome people.
