The dorm rooms we were in were fine. Only issue was the fact there were no plugs by the bedsHowever, the tour we booked through them was a disappointment. We did not get to experience the things we were promised and then were told it was simply due to the weather. Yet, the inability to do the activities was not communicated to us. And we still had to pay the same (already) exorbitant price.When we complained and tried to get a proportion refunded we were greeted with a blank 'the tour company will not give refunds' and had to push for the opportunity to try talk to the company. Then when they finally said they'd try contact the company we were told we couldn't speak to them because they didn't speak any English - this may be true but the hotel staff did not appear to make any push for us to get any sort of refund.Overall, the accommodation is perfectly fine but the tour company used is pretty useless - however, I expect it is the same with all companies in Khao Sok

I can only comment on the below standard tour I booked for a substantial amount.Why:- sheets are not clean and worn- there were cockroaches in my room- the food is bad, except for the pancake in the morning- staff does not communicate at all- the tour did not stick to the program (we visited a different less interesting cave for example)- the "safaris" give zero opportunity to see wildlife- everything makes loud noises, such as the boats and generator- the guide (if you can call him that) has no interest or passion in his job. A clown that is not funny.What is good:- scenery of the lake.

Great hostel to stay for one night if you’re doing the Khao Sok bungalows. Rooms themselves are okay, no curtains and dorms of 10 or so. Cheap as chips so cannot complain at all. There is aircon in the room but it would not reach the whole room so a very sweaty sleep. Hostel lets you leave bags with them over night if you book the tours with them. We booked as a 3 and got a private bungalow with en-suite. Not sure if luck or due to booking as a 3. They did take us on a different ish tour than the one promised but was still amazing. They do food and drinks at the hostel too which is nice and cheap. Awesome coffee shop next door. Basic, cheap and useful for booking tours.

Didn't sleep there but I booked a tour with them. Well organized and they let me take a shower when I came back from the tour and helped me to book a taxi.

Fine hostel but nothing more. No curtains for the beds, my top bunk didn't have a plug anywhere within reach. Also no light. Also only one bathroom for a room of 8. There are other bathrooms downstairs but every bathroom was full in the morning.

The hotel is located on the main road leading to Khao Sok National Park with plenty of shops and restaurants in the close vicinity.We arrived early to the hotel so the room wasn't ready right away. We were asked to wait, and the moment the room was ready, we were notified and taken in.The room looked exactly like in the pictures - a double bed with a big fridge and tea/coffee making facilities, complimentary water, a big closet. It was spacious and clean.The room has it's own private balcony which faces the forest, thus offering peace and quiet. It also has it's own bathroom with shower.The hotel restaurant provides breakfast and dinner menu. We only ordered breakfast here which was tasty and priced appropriately.We enjoyed our stay in this hotel.

We didn't have any accommodation, but we drank the best ice tea here, a must-have! 50BIt's a pity that they are not divided into a bar and a hostel.

One of our favorite hotels in Asia for sure because it’s so clean, spacious, sunny during the day and quiet at night, and the owners are super super kind and helpful (with anything we need and arranging the tours etc…). Such an authentic hotel with local Thai vibe and tree made tables and chairs and more! :) Ohh their cocktails are sooo good and cheap too, definitely try their mojito! Enjoy your stay there!! 💚

Everything was great, our room, the tour we booked through them and the very welcoming atmosphere by the hosting family. Even the cheap cocktails were just to our taste (had the Mojito). I recommend this place wholeheartedly :)

The best hostel in Khao Sok, they offer very good tours and transportation, they also offered to store my bags while I went on the tour. When I got back they gave me my things and I was able to take a shower for free, the staff was very nice and the food was delicious, thank you guys💖

A very nice place with quite comfortable private rooms for couples, which were very good value for money. The room had pretty much everything we needed and even a balcony with a nature view. Also staff was very friendly and helpful 👍

Great hostel! Really recommend. Staff are really friendly and helpful, we were able to book tours and transfers through them at good prices and they let us store our bags and use the showers even when we weren't staying that night. They even arranged a free lift to a different hotel when I wasn't feeling well enough to walk with my bags.The beds are comfortable, everything is clean and nice big balconies from the shared rooms. The food and fruit shakes are also great 😊

Wonderful little hostel. Very comfortable beds. Great tours at the info desk. We'd recommend doing the tour to one of the caves out on the lake. We did the two day one and it was great.

These guys are great! Everything you need is here and available! I booked the jungle tour the night before and they include breakfast and a 100 baht discount when you book through them. The beds and bathrooms were comfortable and clean! The tour here was 2,400 baht plus 240 for the national park fee.I also got to book transport to Koh Tao day of after my tour through them. They have food as well and a delicious restaurant across the street to enjoy as well!
