The people I met and staff were amazing throughout my whole stay.
There’s really nothing I didn’t like at all!!!
4.1
The bathrooms were super clean all the time, the showers had hot water and a place to hang your stuff. The hostel has a really nice chillout area that you can relax in. It's not a party hostel but still provides opportunities to get to know other travellers. The staff is super friendly and acommodating to your needs.
The one improvement could be to also add curtains to the top beds as of right now only the bottom beds have curtains.
4.1
Best hostel I ever stood at
Everything’s great! Clean, quiet, good bed and some sort of social life!
4.1
Die Betten sind super gemütlich, die Dachterrasse super zum chillen
Klimaanlage wird in den Zimmern gegen 10-11 Uhr morgens ausgeschaltet danach ist es kaum möglich im Zimmer zu bleiben, weil es einfach zu warm ist !
Hostel liegt direkt auf der Hauptstraße und man hört jedes Fahrzeug was da vorbeifährt !

Brian, the owner and staff were very very nice and helpful.
He gave lots of tips about everything we asked!!!
I liked the terrace especially with sofa, table and chairs to relax, drink beer and talk with other tourists from all over the world. There are very tasty local foods near hostel.
I went there for full moon party. The hostel was full but with good vibes.
They had Thai buffet dinner and transportation to the full moon with 300 THB.
The food was killer, I learned this words from New Yoker in the hostel w and sufficient for everyone!
I wanted to stay there for a few more days, but I have already booked different place.
One thing if I can say is that the floor of the shower room wasn’t flat, so the water didn’t flow well to the drain and accumulated on the floor, a little, not too much but I didn’t feel very well my feet was with dirty water I wash my body...
4.1
Das Personal ist unfassbar freundlich und zuvorkommend. Außerdem herzlich und super hilfsbereit.
4.1
quiet, no crowd and no noise.
located in a place where you can get a piece of mind without hearing many people.
ants, everywhere.
I found many of them in the shower and in my bed. Also found quite lots of sand on my bed, therefore I can say that the room was not clean.
4.1
this was my favorite hostel I stayed at in Thailand. The staff made me feel at home and within a couple days I knew every person in the dorm room. everyone talks to each other and the staff will help you with whatever you need.
perfect location to everything, can’t recommend enough!!
4.1
The bed was clean and comfortable. It was quiet at night and I could sleep. Wifi worked well. There is a chill zone near the reception and terrace where I met some nice people.
The room has too many beds and is very cramped. One day water in the bathroom was turned off due to repairs. The women's shower was closed for renovations all the time. In my opinion, if you are doing renovations, you should warn guests about this before booking. There was also a strong constant smell of sewage coming from the toilet. The showers were not clean, there was mold and dirt. I suffered from an allergy to mold and regretted that I booked for a week.
4.1
I liked that they organiced a dinner before the full moon party with drinks at a fair value and free body painting.
They just had running water from 5am to 10am and from 5pm to 10pm so I wouldn't recommend anyone to stay here. They provided tanks with water but they where full of bugs so impossible to even brush my teeth with it. They didn't mention it until I paid and made it seem like it was a temporary problem and not something permanent. In other comments I read they explained this is for government restrictions due the lack of water in the country but there wasn't any other place with this problem and no news on Internet about this issue so not sure about the real reasons but it's not fair to pay for a place that can't even provide running water all day. Also, they probably will answer saying that they provide drinking water but that's something every hostel I've been does so can't compensate the other big issue.
Also, there were ants everywhere and the rooms where extremely small. Worst hostel I've been so far so wouldn't recommend it.
4.1
nice place to meet people and relax. the terrace has amaaaazing lounge chairs I chilled so much there
not much privacy in the bunk beds, no curtains but okay. also the water was off a few times for long periods of time but I guess it’s nothing that the hostel can do about that
4.1
The owners were very nice, but because of the rest of the stay it felt like they were overcompensating
We were charged £41 per person per night, which is already extortionate for a hostel but we were willing to pay it for a nice stay during a busy period. However, I wouldn’t spend over £5 a night to stay here. There was no running water (apart from 5pm-8:30pm) which they said was a problem with the island, but we just showered at our friends’ hostel as clearly this was a lie. We also had to go to the bathroom and brush our teeth elsewhere as literally no water was running. The aircon didn’t work properly as well, so after sleeping in a pool of sweat, you couldn’t shower (not to mention, there were no curtains on the bed so no privacy either). Had to take your shoes off outside despite the floor being filthy inside. Such an unpleasant stay. Couldn’t pay me to stay there again.

I had a great stay at See Sea. It's a normal hostel with normal bunk beds, but they are quite comfy. There is a common area upstairs, which is very nice to chill. Also, the host is very friendly and helpful.
The wifi was a bit slow
4.1
We stayed in this hostel for the full moon party and it was a place to go to for it because the owners host a family dinner the evening of the party, the dinner was a massive buffet and there was more than enough for everyone! You paid a very small price for the dinner and a taxi to the full moon but it was 100% worth it. This helped everyone in the hostel to socialise and make friends for the party. They also had sold buckets and gave the guests glow paints to paint ourselves with!
The hostel owners were also really nice helpful people
The sewage smell in the bathrooms at times was quite bad and some of the shower heads were not working great however saying this at the time we were staying the bathrooms had not been done up yet but the owner had said they were going to be refurbished so this may resolve those issues
4.1
Nice little hostel, owners were super nice and extremely helpful with tips and suggestions about things to do around the island. One of the bathrooms is being remodeled currently, but I didn’t feel like it was ever crowded in the one they have available! They have good communal places to chill and meet people as well, it has the making of a good social hostel with more people there.
Only thing I’d suggest is curtains for the beds!
4.1
Staff were really friendly and helpful. Hostel is in quite a good location near to beach and good food options.
Only 2 showers due to female bathroom being renovated meant often waiting a while to get a shower. Noise due to renovations, meant couldn’t really relax in the common area during the day. No curtains over patio door in bedrooms meant you were woken up early due to light coming in.
4.1
For the full moon party and as a couple we wanted to meet some people to party with and to have a great full moon experience, but still have a good night sleep. This hostel is perfect for the predrinking/prepartying and then go off to the party or got to bed.
Other reviews are right, the owner is really nice and the hostel organised a thai buffet before the party which you could sign up for. This made it easier to meet people and the whole hostel was 1 big group. They sold buckets and had glow in the dark/body paint. There are common areas down and upstairs, which was really nice to chill and meet others. Place was really clean. Bathrooms really clean, other reviews saying about the smell being bad are right but it wasn't that bad and it didn't bother us at all.
Our first night we didn't go out and people were very noisy talking all night (4/5 am) in the common area right beside our room.
4.1
Brian the manager is so helpful and kind! really comfy beds, great location
4.1
the kindness from the owners. the people who lived here were really nice too.
4.1
Except during the full moon the hostel is empty
the room is súper tiny the bed barely fit
one lady of the staff even if the hostel was completely empty (just me in a private room and one other guy In a dorm) did an after party right in front of my window even if the common area had plenty of space she choosed with her friends the spot just by my windows to scream and laugh completely drunk and wake me up at 5 am and when I opened the window and ask kindly for them to move she said we are going to bed in 5 minutes and they didnot move and I heard her telling to her friends come on we are in a hostel which I agree but I got a private room to sleep and since she knows the hotel is empty and only my room is taken she could have gone somewhere else and also apologize the day after
Also to get back my deposit (500 bath) she was not here for 30 minutes and I had my boat and she knew it because I booked thought them so I could have either missed my boat or lost my deposit
4.1
Wow we had the best time of our lives here. The hostel is very clean and comfortable and in a great location. the owners are a husband and wife duo from Canada, and they made our stay so special. Gave us amazing recommendations for food, drinks, and activities. They made sure we had the best time, 12/10 would recommend staying here!

I had a super time in this hostel. Nick really helped make this possible! Nick helped me with a lot, showed me the beautiful island and was super nice. Brian and his wife made sure the fullmoon preparty was amazing. With delicious food, good drinks, nice people and top paint! The soft beds and air conditioning were a relief. Renting a scooter was also easy and felt safe. Thank you very much!!!
4.1
The staff was amazing (especially Lusty) I had one of my best night in Koh Phangan organised with this hostel. I loved the « chill » mood of this hostel
They have a weekly planning with activities. it’s great to meet people if you travel solo
Showers could be cleaner. Shower mats must be replaced/cleaned or burned
4.1
Very nice hostel, with all basic needs you might have. The best part of it is definitely the friendly staff and owners, they will make sure you have everything you need and invite to parties if you feel like it. Really the atmosphere there was incredible!
In the room itself you get a sheet to cover (not a blanket), so when the AC is on at night it gets a bit cold. But that's a rather minor issue.
4.1
Lovely atmosphere in the hostel. The owners are very nice and mingle well with the guests, reception staff are the friendliest and most helpful we have come across. Anything you need booked/ help with, both owners and staff are more than willing to help. The “family dinner” before the full moon party was a lovely touch where a buffet meal was served for a very low price and everyone got together to eat and drink before heading to the full moon party. Was a pleasure staying here.
Only thing I could say, if I was nitpicking, is that the private room was quite tight for space for a couple who definitely don’t travel lightly. But ample space in bathrooms and rest of hostel so this wasn’t much of an issue.
4.1
nice staff, very familiar hostel, not too many people and a nice common space on the terrace ☺️
