Ko Pha Ngan hostels

Pros: We were the only guests and were allowed to use all facilities. The owner is unbelievably nice. The only problem for us was that the bathroom area is located outside and therefor its easy to be attacked by mosquitos.

Pros: Eh, the receptionist, was absolutely fantastic! She was so warm and welcoming when I arrived to check in for one night for the Full Moon Party in August 2017. She let me print a ticket and ensured that I had transportation arranged to get to and from Haad Rin Beach. I left very early the next morning and did nit receive my 500 Baht key deposit back, but she arranged to have the deposit refunded to me via PayPal. I was so impressed with her responsiveness as she could have just ignored my request. Great service!

Cons: The bed was a bit too hard. And the bathrooms could have some amenities in them like shampoo and conditioner. Also, the water in the showers was not hot enough. Those are my only complaints.

Pros: It's just 15 min walking away from the pier, 3 min to a convenient store and 8 min to a market. There's a very nice host, every single evening people would gather around him to have a great chat. Great AC, hot shower, large lockers!

Cons: Cleanliness and some pluming could be improved.

Pros: Very great people, wonderful host. So friendly and helpful!!!

Pros: Ensuit bathroom is quite comfortable for a hostel and there were only 4 beds in the room

Pros: The staff are pleasant and kind, central location on the island the comfortable rooms. Nothing bad to say about my experience here. It's nothing fancy and not the most social atmosphere but it was a nice place to sleep at the end of the day and be a central hub for my adventures on the island,

Pros: Very nice people working there.

Cons: The girl in my room coughing non stop.

Pros: We came for the full moon party and straight away the staff were friendly and so polite towards us! Would defo recommend! Also the WiFi was probably the best WiFi I’ve had in the whole of south east Asia.

Pros: Great owner. She was really helpful. She rents out scooter (which is the only real way to get around on the island). I rented a super old and basic one, and scratched it a little, but she let it slide as it was already a little scratched. She was very kind and helpful, despite having just come back from the hospital with a broken arm. Great place (Art cafe) to have breakfast at just next door. There are hammocks on the porch to chill in. The location is in a super chill and nice area close to a bunch of great beaches and bars.

Cons: It was quite dirty in the room. Upon arrival on the top shelf there was dust and a dead fly. The bins are only emptied once a week. The toilet is rather basic and the hot water is usually only mildly warm. Water pressure wasn’t great either.

Pros: Great location. Staff very nice. Good value.

Cons: No WiFi in bungalows only near reception area.

Pros: - friendly owner - convenient location - hammock

Cons: - loud music at some nights

Pros: Sonya is an awesome host. She‘s frienly, helpdul and very funny! The bungalows are spacious and very comfy.

Cons: /

Pros: Very cute place near most yoga centera and quiet beaches

Pros: Had a good location close to beach. Sonya is a pleasant host.

Cons: I booked this room for good value and rave reviews about Sonia, who was very kind. I didn’t notice it was a ‘roadside’ room when I booked and that’s exactly what it was. Next to a VERY noisy road. It’s also not a bungalow and had a paper thin wall to next door, so on top of the noise of traffic, I could also hear everything the two girls next door were talking and giggling about. i had a terrible sleep, I booked 2 nights and ended up leaving and taking another bungalow on Haad Yao, forfeiting what I paid for the second night. I couldn’t take another night there and all other bungalows there booked. I wouldn’t say this is a bad place, perhaps the bungalows further back from the road are better, as suggested in all the other reviews, but the roadside room is awfully noisy. Otherwise, clean and comfortable.

Pros: very large bed, quite comfortable (they might be very hard in Thailand). Warm welcome from the owner.

Cons: Quite expensive for Thailand for a basic bungalow (but this area is more expensive in general)

Pros: It’s my second stay in Common Bungalow and if come back to Koh Pangan I ‘ll definitely stay there again. First it’s amazing location,very close to main beaches in very quite part of the island. Second ,it’s a simple but so cozy, exceptionally clean rooms,hot water is always available in the shower (which helps a lot in the morning and late evening as it gets chilly outside) and last but not the least friendly owner who is always ready to help if anything!

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Sonja, is THE best host I met during my 2 months travels in Thailand. What a lady! Incredible host, nothing is too much. As a solo traveler, I felt immediately at ease and at home with such a warm welcome. The bungalow was fantastic. Location 10/10. Everything you need is within walking distance. Also the people who were staying here made it very special. Quiet, clean, comfortable, affordable...special. Stay here!

Cons: They charged me more money when i arrived at the hostel, saying it was for the beddings

Pros: I loved how this hostel just makes you feel at home. I was planning on staying 3 nights and ended up staying for 7 nights. It is quite magical. The fact that is a beachfront hostel adds a lot, I just love to go to sleep with the sea and wake up with the sea. You wake up and you can immediately step in the sand. I was staying in the most beautiful dorm, a really really cool dorm, with beautiful drawings everywhere. You would have to see it for yourself. A lot of hammocks and comfortable cushions to relax. A really cool beach gym for whoever wants to work out or for people like me that just want to play monkey by climbing ropes and stuff

Pros: Amazing location, great staff, good energy, beach front gym, nice rooms, what else do you need ...

Pros: the owner Mr David is super open minded and smart very beautiful and well decorated place

Cons: very bad WIFI need charging mobile near each bed

Pros: You have access to an awesome eco gym right on the beach. The staff here is absolutely lovely and helpful. Beds are comfy and the boxes make it a bit isolated from the noise and light. Would totally recommend staying there for a couple of days

Pros: Is cheap for the location, it is at the beach. If you are a gym pretending person you will like this place.

Cons: The stuff was very arrogant. 1 hour waiting for check in and another hour for check out. He shows me the lockers and everything very nice...after I ask for the key of the locker and he says that he doesn't have because idiot people lost it, always compleining about that he is working a lot, he is a victim hahaha I booked for 75 baths but I had to pay 100 because (half hour of complaining about booking)... so I paid just for don't listen any more. He was screaming in front of all the people to his volunteers...I was 2 nights there and we change just because him.

Pros: Absolutely the best hostel I’ve ever been to!!!!!! ( and I’ve been staying in 190 hostels all over the world in the last 2.5 years!:))

Pros: This place was amazing, super friendly stuff, very direct and helpfull, for meeting other backpackers this place is perfect, the energy is very relaxing, just like you’re at home. The gym facilities are very cool, must try if you are in to working out. Breakfast is not included but definately worth paying for, try the nanda special, best breakfast I’ve had in Thailand. Thank you guys for a good time!

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The staff! Eddie went above and beyond to help us out. Thank you! Unfortunately the aircon was broken in our room but the staff got us lots of fans and did the best they could during busy full moon period. This hostel is perfect for full moon period, the pre parties were great fun and we all had a great time. Food was nice too. Bar/ beach area was so nice. Not far from a supermarket and restaurants

Cons: Broken air con

Pros: Stuff are nice

Cons: Cleaniss of external bathroom

Pros: Pool and bar makes it really to meet people.

Cons: The hardest bed I’ve ever slept in

Pros: Good party atmosphere

Cons: They haven’t change bed sheets, could be cleaner

Pros: Bar, architecture and proximity to ferry, beach and other facilities

Cons: AC too strong, got cold becouse of that

Pros: Everything

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Nothing

Cons: They said if we wanted to stay there we had to pay more than it was on my reservation. We were waiting there like for 1h and after being fighting with them they left us the price as it was on the reservation. They want to steal money from foreigners. Also the door of the hostel is always open and there is anyone in the reception. There are no lockers so everyone can go inside and steal something

Pros: It was cheap and well located

Cons: There was no lock on the door and the room went straight into the street

Pros: Best and craziest people in town - a place of fun and party and getting connected to other people

Pros: Party atmosphere and cool manager

Cons: Check-in was a bit sketchy by the volunteers but the manager made up for that after

Pros: We paid a little more and stayed in the hotel park and it was fabulous. As far as backpacking goes this is top class

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Location was great. Wall paintings were cool

Cons: Toilet was clogged 2 of the 3 days we stayed. Walls were 1cm thick and one private room was separated by a curtain so I couldn’t lock my stuff away. Bar wasn’t very busy and didn’t seem to be the party vibe so we went to another hostel to pre drink. Took us an hour to check in , because the guy said he couldn’t work the system properly cause he was too drunk.

Pros: The Staff made my stay so good! They were friendly and so relaxed, I immediately felt comfortable when I arrived. I also liked the pre-party’s, which were an excellent way of meeting people.

Pros: Good location right in the centre.

Cons: Really really dirty! Also the beds were not like we excepted. We booked 3 single beds in a 8 bed dorm and got 1 bed for 3 people in a I think 15 bed dorm. No keys, the door was always open and directly on the street, so everyone could enter the room whenever they want. Felt not really secure about our stuff.
