DK1Hostel

Chaweng

Situated in Chaweng and with Chaweng Beach reachable within less than 1 km, DK1Hostel features concierge services, rooms, a shared lounge, free WiFi throughout the property and a terrace. The property is around 1.5 km from Chaweng Noi Beach, 5.3 km from Fisherman Village and 7.6 km from Big Buddha. The accommodation offers a shared kitchen, a tour desk and currency exchange for guests. Easily one of my favourite hostels I have stayed at. DKmama is the sweetest, always going out of her way to make sure her guests are comfortable. You genuinely feel welcomed as if you are her family and that is a very special thing. Met heaps of kind, interesting and fun people here. I initially booked for 3 nights but extended to 10, and so many people did the same. It's a testament to the kind of place this is :)

Samui Backpacker Hotel 3 stars

Bangrak Beach

Located in Bangrak, Samui Backpacker Hotel is a 1-minute walk from a pier that can take guests to Ko Phangan and the famous full moon parties. It offers dormitory-style and private rooms with free WiFi. Honestly, aside from this being such an incredibly low price, everything was great quality. Rooms are kept well and renovated … our private room was well ventilated, clean and has been maintained well. The staff was super helpful, friendly and accommodating. The community is great. The food is affordable and good! Loved their smoothies and their Tom Kha Ga (one of the best Tom Kha I have ever had in my life). I was expecting to get something of lower quality for the price, but this hostel exceeded my expectations. I would definitely stay here again if I am back in the area. Thank you Samui Backpackers for running a great hotel & hostel.
