    I had an amazing time at Samui Backpacker! The hosts, Jerna and Michael, were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout my stay. They made sure all my needs were taken care of and the atmosphere was vibrant. The pool was a highlight, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the island life. Jerna and Michael even knew the best places to go for a night out. Can't wait to come back!

    Nothing negative, it was a great experience. ✨

    The location was convenient and close to the pier, making it easy to explore the island. The common area with the pool and games was a great place to hang out and meet fellow travelers. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the rooms were clean and spacious. I highly recommend Samui Backpacker for an affordable and enjoyable stay on the island.

    The hostel was clean and cozy, creating a comfortable atmosphere. The pool was always clean and it was a great place to relax and socialize with other solo travelers. The staff at Samui Backpacker were friendly and helpful, going above and beyond to assist me with my transportation needs. I even had a cardigan that I forgot at the hostel and they were kind enough to send it back to me in Bangkok. The hostel is also conveniently located near the airport, a plus for me as I enjoy the sounds of airplanes during my vacation. I had a fantastic experience at Samui Backpacker and I highly recommend it to all backpackers and travelers.

    I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel. First and foremost, the value for money here is unbeatable. The prices are incredibly reasonable, especially considering all the amenities that are offered. The attention to detail is fantastic, from the clean rooms with their own bathroom, to the provided soaps and the free wifi. The staff here are amazing, always going above and beyond to make sure your stay is enjoyable. One thing that really stood out to me was the hotel's location. It's almost directly across the road from Big Buddha pier, making it extremely convenient for those planning to visit the nearby islands. Additionally, there are some fantastic restaurants in the area, perfect for those looking to explore the local cuisine.

    All was fantastic, no improvements needed.

    This hotel ticks all the boxes for a fantastic stay. The prices were reasonable and definitely value for money. The attention to detail was impressive, with clean rooms that were well-maintained throughout our stay. The location was perfect, as it was just a short ride to Chaweng Beach and only a few minutes away from the Big Buddha pier. The staff provided excellent service and the basic amenities in the room were all in working order. The hotel also had a coffee place next door, which was so convenient for grabbing a quick cup in the morning.

    No breakfast provided or a kettle in the room.

    I stayed at a hostel in Koh Samui and had a great experience. The beds were comfortable, although my partner found them a bit too hard. The man at the front office was kind and helpful, especially with our plans for our next trip to Koh Phangan. There was also a little coffee shop out front that provided excellent value for money and had a diverse menu. I had a comfortable stay and enjoyed meeting other backpackers. Big thanks to the hosts, Michael and Ann, for their great hospitality and helpful recommendations on where to eat and what to see.

    The hotel offers convenience for those who want to be near the pier. the location is not as close to good beaches. the staff are friendly, and the rooms are modern and clean, with individual lights and power sockets for each bed. the hostel provides free pool, ping pong and billiards table for a relaxed atmosphere. There is a cheap breakfast place and an expensive Italian place nearby.

    The hostel's staff could do with improvement as seen in some of the reviews.

    I had a great stay at the backpacker hotel in Koh Samui. the location was perfect for my early flight the next morning, and it offered everything I needed. the rooms were clean and the staff was helpful when I had questions. I especially enjoyed lounging by the pool on the big bean bags and taking advantage of the facilities like the bar, pool table, and table tennis. the hostel also had a convenient food ordering service, so I could have meals delivered right to me. it was a relaxing and enjoyable experience. Cons: Nothing, it was perfect! 😊.
