4/5
Great price for the room, and cool lookout area from the pool/bar area.Extremely disappointed in the advertising, because I was expecting a nightly dinner, and some form of entertainment. Karaoke, yoga, etc.Not for the price was I expecting much, but only because it was advertised and marketed as such was I hoping for... something. If the additional amenities are only available during the 'high' season, then simply state that.I enjoyed the social atmosphere, despite there only being a handful of people staying there.The room was significantly smaller than we were expecting for a private, and without AC, just a small table fan. Not a huge deal, although there's no other table except for the "fan" table.I overheard a lady complaining about bugs in the shared dorm, but have no personal experience there.Bathroom was good, showers were less good.The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating.

Although the staff was quite friendly, I have to mention that my stay was terrible. We booked 2 nights in a private hut. This seems dirty and has no AC, so the air in it is terrible (hardly bearable). We checked out after one night!

Ahhhh Circus I miss you! The private room was basic but fine - especially for the price! The location is out of the way but only 15 mins walk into town (or a 4 min drive!) and the location itself is beautiful. You are literally surrounded by nature and the hostel has loads of amazing communal areas to hang out including an infinity pool, pool table, bar & dining area which were all perfectly maintained. I hear it gets busy in the high season but it was very peaceful there in August. The staff are all really friendly and the food is great. Will definitely be coming back. 🤹♀️🎪🎡❤️

By far the dirtiest place I have been, the room was covered in insects, the beds too, the showers and toilets too, not normal. Don't go here.

The huts are okay, but very spartan. It's a party hostel. Lots of Brits are there. There's a lot of drinking and the music at the pool bar is very loud. Good for partying, otherwise not so much. The staff is very friendly. At 10pm there is free food, which was always fresh and tasty.

Breathtaking life on the plain, the ridges surrounding it, the 3D sunset, just opposite. At that moment, you are in the pool, or at the edge, at the bar. You are not alone in any case.Have a good stay

One Room/Tebt with a double bed costs 20 Euros each night, which is pricy for this region. Nevertheless it could be worth it, because the location is really great: Pool, Bar and a chill athmosphere.Unfortunately we didn’t have flowing water for 2 days in a row, which could happen and is not really a problem if you get a compensation for this (not much just a tiny excuse for the time you had to wait). This didn’t happen, which is sad.The hostel really is far away from the Pai Centre but therefore they offer you a taxi, but this free taxi only drives till 5 p.m., so you’ll have to walk in the evening.The toilets are cleaned every morning, but the rooms only if you check out, so after 5 days of staying there your room will be at least a bit dirty.The towel I paid 120 TBH(100TBH deposit) is not really a good towel and it smells fast, cuz the quality isn’t good.Overall a nice location, but the service could improve in some aspects.

A really weird hostel. The showers and sink were very very dirty and not cleaned during the 3 days I stayed.The people in the dormitory make love without any embarrassment all night until the early morning. The sheets were dirty, looked like they hadn't been changed from the previous person.The pool water was dirty too.The atmosphere was very strange. The boys looked like they were looking to hook up. They were in a group and all left at 11 p.m., which meant that there was no one left. Music not made for partying.Expensive food and drinks.Finally, the morning I left, I found bed bugs IN my bed and on my bag.The staff told us that it was the fault of the many travelers and that there was nothing they could do about it. No offer to reimburse the costs for the laundry that we will have to do, but they offered to stay one more night but to change rooms, which we refused.One of the staff members wanted to drop us off at our next accommodation for free, which was nice of him and we thank him.For the price you can find much better.

My favorite hostel I stayed at in Pai. Great pool area with a view overlooking the picturesque mountain town. I stayed in a private a-frame cabin and it was divine. I’ll definitely be back.
