A great hostel, ran well by friendly staff.
The owner is also a super friendly man so its nice to know your money is going to a good place. The bungalows are really reasonably priced for a month stay!

Great hostel, stayed there for a few days in August and had a great stay. It was clean and quiet. The rooms are great and you have plenty of space to store your backpack. The service was super nice, the lady at the reception helped us a lot, just a really nice person :) The only disadvantage is that it's right on Lamai Beach and you always have to walk along the very loud and overstimulating street.

The staff are friendly, the location is far away from everything except for Lamai beach. No atmosphere to meet other backpackers and the worst part - I left with BED BITES !!! All over my body from their bedding would not recommend unfortunately, the staff were nice but this is not acceptable.

Really nice hostel in Koh Samui, strongly recommended for solo travellers!> 4-bed Dorm is space full and you don’t need to climb the stairs (they look like you see them on the picture). Mattress was really good and you have the plug, light next to the bed and curtains. Toilet inside the dorm> Hostel has a kitchen with microwave, water station, kettle, fridge and a common area> nice people and nice service! They can also book the cab to go to the airport (500 bath)> WiFi worked perfectly> Good location and plenty of night markets, restaurants, thai massage shop/spa and gift shops. Really nice and long beach> Cash payments only> No lift, only stairs to go upstairs to the dorms> There are 3 washing machine just outside the hostel + dryer. It’s 40 bath (takes 1h) and dryer is 25bath. They also have rack cloths at the very top of the hostel, so I’d recommend to hang your cloths there, they’ll get dry in 4h as it’s pretty hotAbsolutely loved my staying there! Thanks for having me 🙏Below pictures of the beach and food from the Night market - so so recommended!!

The room was really nice and the location was good too. About 200m to the beach and just a few meters to the night market and restaurants. Personally, we were a bit disappointed with the beach itself and the water, there are certainly nicer ones on Koh Samui, but that has nothing to do with the hostel, because we were very happy with it

The cafe here is good, we lived opposite, but preferred breakfast in this place. Delicious and beautiful dishes. You can assemble your own breakfast from the ingredients you choose, it’s very convenient. The coffee isn't bad either.

We had a great stay here, one of our favourite hostels we have stayed in. Clean rooms, good location and super helpful and friendly staff! they helped us secure a scooter when a lot of other places were sold out. We had an issue with the aircon which sorted within a few hours and we were given a fan in the meantime. Only downside for us was that the common room was also the smoking area, as non-smokers we found ourselves having to leave the area if people were smoking due to now through flow of air.

I absolutely adored my time at the Kerton! 😊 Initially, I hadn’t planned on staying for long, but I ended up extending my stay until I had been there for nearly three weeks! 🏨 It was so easy to fall in love with this place. The rooms were incredibly spacious 🛏️, each equipped with modern baths 🚿, and the reception staff were extremely supportive and helpful 🤝. They assisted me with all my inquiries and even helped me sort out my trip to Bangkok when all the official tickets were sold out! ✈️ I can’t recommend it enough! It truly was a stay to remember, and I would absolutely come back in a heartbeat! 💖Umi, in particular, was invaluable to me during my stay, as she was exceptionally organized and supportive. 🌟💼

I really appreciated the kindness and availability of the staff, starting from the moment of welcome and orientation in the area to the assistance in organizing the transfer to the airport. The rooms are well organized and the structure of the bunk beds makes them really comfortable and accessible. Good cleanliness, quiet and quite usable common areas. The scooter rental service is also convenient. Perfect location for the Lamai area, directly on the street with restaurants and clubs, a few meters from the beach.

Very good hostel! The staff is very welcoming and smiling, there is a large space to chill out/smoke. A supermarket just a stone's throw away and plenty of other shops. The beds are good, no disturbance when someone climbs on top. I highly recommend !
