I don’t think there’s even a rating high enough for this hostel. I stayed there for over a month and a half, and every single day was one of the best days of my life. As for the setup, the design is just mind-blowing: a huge kitchen with all the appliances you could need, a massive communal table right in the middle of the first floor, free coffee, tea, and drinking water, a super comfy hanging chair, a spacious chill zone with mattresses, and even a hammock on the second floor. The rooms? Comfy beds with privacy curtains and lockers you can lock up. Every corner of the place was clean, cozy, and gave off major homey vibes. But honestly, that’s not even the best part. The real deal was the vibe of the place. I met so many cool and interesting people: a guy from DreamWorks, an old dude who trades stocks, a German Zendaya lookalike, a Russian drag queen, a guy who absolutely hated T-shirts, a girl who refused to date anyone at 25, a dude who despised air conditioners, a grandma who never listened to anyone, and so many more. One of them was a French girl, and now we’re tight friends. And the cherry on top? The hostel owner, Koko. This is the kind of guy everyone should be friends with. If you’re lucky, like I was, and your heart and soul are open, you’ll step into an amazing world you’ve never experienced before. You’ll get culture, rethink what friendship means, and find the inspiration you’ve been searching for. I even wrote a few stories about the crazy stuff that happened to me here. All thanks to Koko, his girlfriend Mae (hope I spelled it correctly!), and the vibe they created at this hostel. Aekkeko, big thanks for coming into my life!

I think I need to re-evaluate all my other ratings on Booking because I finally felt what an accomodation worthy of 10 is like. From the moment I arrived and had to wait at the table in the lobby for a bit for my bed to be ready, I felt more like home than home itself. The silence, the spinning fans, the plants growing directly in the house which made it feel like you live both inside and outside, the colorful bathrooms, the suspended bed you can relax on at the end of a day, the relaxation area where you can start your day with yoga, the laundry service on point, the helpful staff that made you feel you were living with your aunt and cousins and always showing a sincere smile. At this point I almost want to go again to Phuket for this accomodation only :)

• I really like the location. It's in the Old Town but not in the crowded part of the street, so it's very nice. There's a Sunday Night Market at the same street that is super fun. I loved walking around the Old Town and being able to easily get back to the hostel to rest or to leave something there. • The place is comfy and clean • The staff are nice • In general, there's a good natural lighting during the day throughout the whole place (even the dorm I stayed in), which feels pretty good

• The only thing I can think of that I didn't like is that the bathroom is far from most of the rooms and it's not even on the same floor, so if you need to use the toilet in the middle of the night, you have to go downstairs and walk through a dark corridor to get there.

The bed was clean; the toilet and bathing area was also clean. Loved the aesthetic of the hostel the cute little garden with a swing in it. Also the people running the place were quite helpful. I got quite late in returning during Songkran festival and wasn't able to figure out how to enter the main gate I called the reception and it was answered quickly and I was helped . A lady named M was also very helpful and kind.. all in all I loved my stay here... Security as a solo girl traveller also I felt was exceptional. Also the kitchen is available so you can cook some ready to eat meals if u have them on u .

The lockers could be made a little more spacious. Though I was able to squeeze in all my luggage with bags but it was not easy each time. Just for reference I had one small trolley bag and one laptop backpack.

Amazing location, great price, comfy beds, fridge and kitchen. Really nice interior design too, especially the netted chillout area on the first floor. Phuket Old Town hostels generally don’t seem too social but this hostel was decent for meeting people due to the communal spaces.

No air con in hallways and bathroom, which is usually fine but it could get really really hot, especially in the bathroom. Also, the keys given for the lockers are not unique, aka you can unlock any locker with your own key, and vice versa, which didn’t make me feel very safe leaving my valuables in there.

The location is almost right in the centre, but just outside perhaps 2-3 minutes walking, but its on a quiet street and the rooms are set back from the front so its very quiet inside the building and rooms. The price was fair given the location and it is peak season almost. Free tea and coffee and water station was helpful, overall a pretty nice chill hostel

The WIFI was rather poor in my private room, although I could sit out in the common area for most tasks so it was not really an issue, just meant I couldn't watch anything online come bed time, but again it wasnt an issue, most areas it worked well enough.

Unfortunately, I only stayed one night, but everything is so lovely! The hostel stuff is amazing, great location, comfy beds with curtains for more privacy, lamps and sockets. Very clean bathrooms and great chill atmosphere! Free coffee, tea and drinking water. Would definitely stay again!

Would be nice if there would be chairs/tables in the outdoor area.

All the staff in general were super nice. They had always the best recommendations and perfect vibe. I wished I could have had more time to spend with Mai. I really enjoyed the chats with her. Looking forward to go back. Thanks for everything, I could not have such an amazing time in Phuket without you and please keep the great work.

The only thing that comes to my mind is to let know in advance the options to arrive to the hostel and which bus stop is the closest one. Apart from this small detail, everything was great

The lady staff is so friendly and such a hard worker. When I was there, she was running the place by herself. I never saw her stop working, aside from short meal breaks. Bathrooms are cleaned every morning. By evening time, they are a mess. Travelers here don't pick up or clean after themselves in the bathroom (dirty sinks and toilets). Shared kitchen and fridge available. Excellent location Dorm beds have privacy curtains and electrical socket. 🙏 I recommend staying here 👍 Great stopover place for catching the bus elsewhere...

Noisy, inconsiderate neighbors.

Centrally located in Phuket Old Town. Fair pricing (for credit cards there is an extra fee, but the receptionist was quite tolerable for me to pay the day after, when I retrieve some cash). Free water in the lobby, and a few cool resting places (hanging chair, first floor net).

Rooms could be refreshed with some lighter colors. Common areas are cooled by fans - that doesn't always help much, especially upstairs.
