Had a great experience in this hostel. In terms of price quality ratio this hostel is the best. It has a good community feeling with cool things like a pool with a volleyball net, little gym area, and pool table. If needed u can even use the kitchen.There was a good balance between chill and party vibes.Toilets and showers were cleaned daily from what I saw.They have big lockers which fitted my whole backpacker backpack.Location is good, its in the middle of the main street.

Very clean hostel, quiet rooms and beautiful stay. Would highly recommend if you’re looking to relaxing and meet new people. My only problem was with the one of the staff workers, ebony was very rude to my wife and she was obnoxiously loud during night. Other than tbat would recommend hostel.

It was a very social hostel which is good especially if you're going around the full moon party. However, it's a bit far from the beach where the parties take place so think about the money you'd be spending on taxis as well. The bathrooms were not the cleanest and needed to be restocked with toilet paper. Also, the top bunk beds could be such a safety hazard depending on which one you got because some of them had nothing around them to hold onto when climbing down. Def had some scary moments.

THE WANDERLUST HOSTEL! 🤙🏼You've everything you need here! Bar, swimming pool, pool, a small gym, comfortable common areas, free coffee and drinking water.All the rooms have ac, beds are comfy, clean and electric plugs for every bed. Rooms are safety, you've your own locker and also key for room.Showers and toilets are pretty clean and enough. You can have your free towel, hair dryer and soap in every sink.Pre-parties... It's good way to meet up people before party. You can also have ticket of many parties. Except parties you can rent motorbike, join the island tours and book your taxi/boat to go anywhere.So I think Wanderlust is one of the best place in the island as facilties and price for a backpacker or who's looking for have so much fun!

The hostel is pretty chill. There is little going on outside of the full moon party. Unfortunately, I was a bit shocked at how the little cat named Cashew was constantly being touched and suffering from the loud music that was constantly playing. I don't think it's the perfect place or manner for such a small cat.

Rooms were okay, bed very hard not comfortable. The blankets didn’t feel very clean smelt a little as well as the towels! The pool was green. Was told it had a chemical in to clean it when we first arrived and it would be nice again in a few hours! We stayed 2 days and the whole time we were there it didn’t look usable! The staff tried to be helpful but just stoned all day every day and we felt like they were a bit patronising! If you want to smoke weed everyday and not bothered about cleanliness then you’ll like this hostel!!

If you are looking for a hostel to stay at in Koh Phangang, I highly recommend The Wanderlust Hostel. The atmosphere is great, the staff and people who stay here are friendly and fun and the hostel has many amenities to keep you busy - a clean pool, a snooker table, a bar, and a chill area with a TV, and the rooms are great. Would stay here again!
