Guest Reviews

• Boris (9/5): Great stay near the beach, would recommend - Location is right next to a beach and some good restaurants. Easy to get around. The staff were excellent and friendly. Chill spot - not some full blown party hostel.
• kevinem (10/5): -
• Rebecca (9/5): -
• Alessandra (10/5): - Mi sono trovata molto bene, lo staff è molto gentile, la struttura è pulita e accogliente, ha una bella terrazza dove rilassarsi.
• Mariana (9/5): Everything was great. Common areas very clean and comfy, nice staff and ac working well. Only thing I did not like much - Clearness, friendly staff, comfy bed. Bathrooms on the first floor
• Emma-Rose (5/5): Pas idéal - Personnel gentil mais incompétent Ne m’ont pas rendu le deposit de la clé Je me suis fait voler des affaires Très mal situé loin de tout
• Sebastian (9/5): Alt i alt var det en rigtig god oplevelse. Vi havde booket et 4 personers dorm, og fik det næsten for os selv hele ophol - Personalet var super søde. Madrasserne så helt nye ud. Vi kunne selv styre temperaturen og styrken på aircondition. Der var skabe til kufferter. Rigtig fine priser på drikkevarer. Gode toiletter og brusere. Lidt højlydt fordi det ligger så tæt på vejen. Vi havde håbet på lidt flere sociale arrangementer på stedet, men som en af medarbejderne sagde, var der mangel på turister, på grund af krigen i mellemøsten.
• d528a42e861e72e2dcffb4f5a999b68f (9/5): Logement idéal avec une position proche de toute commodité - Le logement est proche de la mer et de plusieurs seven ainsi que d’un night market. Le personnel est super sympa et disponible. Je suis restée une semaine supplémentaire tellement je me sentais bien ☺️ RAS

• 312ca3f82302702a2f62390edea1cea7 (10/5): Peaceful environment - The personal was so nice with and give me all information i need to discover the island Nothing , everything was perfect
• 53ec239404df7093f519d38c721d47ec (3/5): -
• Amelia (6/5): - Good location and friendly staff Shared bathroom was very dirty
• Jessica (8/5): - Le personnel très sympa. Ambiance chaleureuse. On fait pleins de rencontres! l’odeur dans les douches et pas de gel douche ni shampoing à disposition
• Maksim (10/5): -
• Abbie (7/5): Good value for money - Staff were so friendly and in a great location! Private room is very small and next to the outdoor area so not much sleep 😴
• Esmee (6/5): It was ok - Beds were ok. It looked like the guy that worked there was not really enjoying his job, he had a bit moody vibes. It felt a bit like a stoner hostel. Bathrooms/toilets could be a bit cleaner.
• Liam (10/5): - Good place to stay for the money staff were great and a few showers & toilets which all were clean. Can hire a scooter at reception if you need one Booked 6 nights stayed 1 then left. air-conditioning didnt work properly so didnt sleep well very loud as next to the road woke up to firecrackers going off right outside the hostel not the hostels fault but going off at 7am was a early wake up call
• Roxanne (7/5): -
• Pablo (8/5): Nice place - The people AC very low on the rooms
• Saga Margareta Dyveke (8/5): -
• Lyn (10/5): -
• Akim (10/5): - I was supposed to stay 4-5 days on the island but so that the hostel was good and they were nice people I stayed more than 15 days. They have a beautiful balcony to chill out and the facility is really clean. Well located between 2 seven elevens and just 3 min by walk to the night market. Not that far from the port too for arrivals and departures.
• Billy (7/5): Good value for a chilled stay - Good value for money, staff friendly, dorm beds were fine, a nice chilled vibe if that’s what you’re after! Bathroom and showers not amazing but did the job, room quite bright in the morning through bed curtains and road can be heard but not too bad
• Michelle (6/5): - Personal sehr freundlich Zimmertüren konnten nicht abgeschlossen werden, Badezimmer etwas abgeranzt und nicht sehr sauber
• Laila (10/5): -
• Bridget (10/5): -
• ryan (10/5): - Friendly staff, clean accommodation, comfortable beds with a nice chill out lounge, nice and peaceful with the option to have drinks and a party.
• Rakel (10/5): Best hostel I ever stayed in! - I don't know where to start! That's how great this hostel is. In total I think I've stayed at See Sea Backpackers for 4 weeks and I'm not even done. I first stayed in December for a week and met amazing people there which I ended up traveling with for 3 weeks and can call them my friends for life now. I then came back and ended up staying 3 weeks. Met another group of amazing people and am traveling with them now. I am then planning on going back to See Sea to stay for the third time! That's how much I like it! Feels like a home away from home. The terrace is such a nice place to hang out and meet people, most are solo travelers of all ages. I was pleasantly surprised at how many people I met around my age (in their thirties and fourties even). Definitely not a party hostel (which I think is good) but so easy to make our own parties when we want to, but also so chill and good for really getting to know people and make friends. Very good social athmosphere. The facilties are very good and clean, beds are comfy, rooms are spacious. They even have a big tv and playstation for those who are into that. Now to the most important part: the people running the place. Zay and Lanbo, local staff, are so sweet. The second time I arrived, I hadn't even parked the bike yet when Zay came outside, said "Welcome back!" With a big smile on his face and took my backpack to take it inside. Made me feel really welcomed and remembered. Troy, who many think is the owner at first, has been such a great friend to me. He's always so helpful, friendly, full of advise and just all in all a great guy. He really cares about the place and the guests. Hangs around and loves to chat. I got the pleasure of meeting his thai girlfriend and her 6 yo granddaughter Eve, whom I met many times at the hostel and after some time she would come running to me, with her beautiful smile, for the biggest and sweetest hug when she saw me. Nothing! There's nothing to complain about.
• Amelie (10/5): -
• Kseniia (5/5): - the staff was nice, the balcony was nice and comfortable the hostel was not so clean, i didn’t get any blankets, and the shower was cold
• Fanny (10/5): I love you See Sea ♥️ - Je viens tous les ans depuis 3 ans dans cette auberge et je ne changerai jamais ! L’emplacement est idéal, le personnel est vraiment adorable et la terrasse est exceptionnelle !!!
• Moritz (10/5): -
• Sergio (8/5): - La terraza y zonas comunes, y la buena disposición del personal. Y una mención especial a Troy, encantador y echándome una mano en todo lo que precisé. Demasiado humo en la terraza cuando coincidían varios fumadores.

• Stirling (4/5): Fine facilities, 1 good member of staff, very noisy/disrespectful visitors:( - We were welcomed by a Canadian man who was really helpful, smiley and checked us in. He really made us feel welcome and gave us lots of advice. The location was also good as well as the message upon booking explaining how to get to the accommodation etc. We were in a private room which backed onto the communal area where our heads on the bed were directly against the window which looked onto the communal balcony. This was fine except we had to keep our curtains closed. However, at 1am we were woken up to the smell of cannabis and a group of about 10-15 people right outside the window from where we were sleeping being super loud. At about 2am we finally asked them to lower their voices a little bit and explained we were just the otherside of the window and it was really noisy- it sounded as though they were in the room with us! Even after us asking politely, they still didn’t quieten down and we couldn’t sleep (even with ear plugs) until 3:30am when they must’ve gone to bed themselves or less people. This wasn’t ideal as we had a busy day the next day and losing out on 3 hours sleep wasn’t great. (We don’t mind people laughing/talking etc normally but there has to be a level of respect…) maybe the dorms should be by the communal areas rather than the double rooms? Also the smell of cannabis was really unpleasant during the night from the group just outside. We were also just next to the stairs and with the lack of soundproofing it was really loud and you could hear everything. When we checked out the following morning we politely said to the guy at reception (different to who checked us in) about the noise and smell and he just laughed in our face, gave a very insincere apology and just gave us our key deposit back. We felt this was really unprofessional. It was a real shame as the place has a lot of potential and the guy who checked us in is a credit to the hostel!

• Eyal (9/5): -
• Catherine (10/5): -
• Gisele (10/5): - Hostel aconchegante, com área social na parte de cima e na parte debaixo. Chuveiro com água quente. Cama confortável. O dono e os funcionários são maravilhosos!
• Rakel (10/5): - The staff was extremely friendly and helpful! It's a lovely hostel to meet people yet not a party hostel. I met so many amazing people there, all of them solo Backpackers and we are still traveling together 3 weeks later. The terrace is super nice to meet and talk to people in a chill atmosphere. No crazy parties, still they sell alcohol etc and you can bring food in as they don't have a restaurant on site. It didn't matter. Super social place for solo people. I stayed in the private room for part of my stay there and I would say it is very tiny. Barely had space for one person to stand and had a hard time opening the door while standing in the tiny spot that separates the bed and the door. Not a bad thing! Just something to keep in mind as I can not see how 2 people could stay in that room as there's only space for one person to stand next to their luggage 🤗
• Yash K.R. (9/5): - The super chill common area with a sitting area outside the hostel on the road. Beach is just a walk away across the road. Loved the staff, really helpful and chill people. A lot of good and authentic eateries nearby, serving food at local prices and the staff will be happy to guide you there. Free water, coffee and the permission to bring you stuff and store it in the fridge. None
• felipe (10/5): -
• Joël (7/5): Günstiges Hostel für ein paar Nächte - Top Lage, freundliches Personal. Duschen waren vergleichsweise dreckig, das Personal ist aber bemüht alle (Sauberkeits-)wünsche zu erfüllen.
• Floria (1/5): -
• Marie (10/5): -
• Evelyn (10/5): Súper Calidad precio - Cerca a la playa, deben eleven, comida local. Los mosquitos
• mosukohanako (7/5): -
• Callum (7/5): -
• Olivia (9/5): Superb -
• Javier (10/5): Best hostel to meet people for full moon party. - The way they make everyone connect with their full moon dinner. It was the best place I had in Thailand to meet with people from everywhere in the world. The food was so tasty too.
• Nando (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was perfect Perhaps some AC in the toilets, as Thailand was super hot, other than that it was perfect
• Trent (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ffion (10/5): Exceptional -
• Rupsha (8/5): Very good -
• Martina (4/5): Disappointing -
• Alex (10/5): Exceptional -
• Singh (10/5): Exceptional - The location is great and Troy was a wonderful help.
• Jasmine (7/5): Great vibe. Great location and even better staff! - Very welcoming staff, who are keen to help from the moment you check in until you leave the property. Lots of knowledge about the area and clearly love where they live! The overall vibe of the hostel was a great one, social but not party and full of cool people from across the world. The terrace was a great place to hangout with a drink after a long day exploring. The hostel had filtered water available for guests which is always something I look out for. Beds had curtains and a little shelf which was useful for phone whilst charging, water bottle and glasses. Clean bathrooms with plenty of showers / toilets. No lockers for luggage but everyone in the dorm was respectful of each others space. There was a locker for valuables though, which I used and felt safe using.
• Emily (10/5): Exceptional - Really enjoyed this stay, definitely one of the best hostels I stayed at so far! Clean, safe, spacious and you meet great people!
• Navdeep (9/5): would recommend staying here - Troy was always on his toes to make sure he gives me all the info that I need, very helpful. the common area is relaxing, the beds are comfy.
• Oliver (10/5): Exceptional - Great hostel, very clean Very chill vibe, great staff. Definitely recommend
• Hai (10/5): Exceptional -
• Viola (4/5): Disappointing -
• Conway (9/5): Superb - I stayed here for 4 nights during the time of full moon. It's not a party hostel, but they made a huge effort to get everyone together (dinner and drinks) prior to the full moon party. The location was perfect. Right next to a beach and close to everything you'll need. The beds had curtains for privacy. They were comfortable, and the chill terrace area is super nice with blue lights creating a nice atmosphere. What really made it special was the man working there (Troy). Himself and the owners really made it feel like a little family; super safe and comfortable. He really goes above and beyond for all of his guests.
• Nicholas (10/5): Exceptional - Great location, friendly and helpful staff that go above and beyond. Great community Nothing
• Shannon (10/5): Nice and chill - Amazing staff, we were always taken care of and told great recommendations, everything was clean and a lovely chill hostel Everything was great
• Hisham (10/5): Excellent - Washrooms are super clean and they have limited inventory so Hostel is not much crowded and they have an amazing common area Nothing
• Sylvain (8/5): Very good - The staff was amazing ! The smoking area with big sits and everything was so fine !!! And also the staff helps you with anything, that's crazy ! Thank you for everything. Beds are too noisy and bedrooms haven't room enough for bags and all.
• Ian (10/5): Exceptional -
• Rosalyn (8/5): Clean hostel with nice vibe, but expensive - the host was super nice! He gave me good advice about the island. The room was ok. There is a nice vibe in the hostel. Shower and toilets are clean and there is a fridge you can use. the mattress was old, i had back pain when i woke up. there is no soap or shampoo in the showers, which is usually always there in the end its more expensive than other hostels and i think its overpriced.
• Gabrio (7/5): Good - Common area was very cozy and staff super helpful No soap in showers
• Valentin (10/5): Exceptional -
• Caitlin (9/5): Superb -
• Menno (10/5): Great! - Great place for meeting people
• Matthew (10/5): Exceptional - Brian and all the staff were so nice and great for recommendations for parties and food. Plenty of games and chill out spaces in the hostel and some great cheap local restaurants nearby. The room was quite small but there is storage space under the bed so it's not too bad and the bed was comfortable. Great value for money overall.
• Baruah (10/5): I stayed for 2 nights, but I loved the staff so much I wanted to stay longer - I enjoyed the hygiene with which the rooms and common spaces were met with. I loved each of the hostel hosts who would enthusiastically offer you ideas and plans for when you're in Koh Phangan.
• Lorraine (10/5): Best hostel I’ve ever stayed in with an exceptional team! - The whole vibe of the hostel is just so welcoming, chilled and friendly. The whole team are AMAZING and genuinely want to make your stay fantastic without being intruding - one of the owners Brian was brilliant and always seemed to be there to help. there was an issue with the plumbing when we were there and they reacted so quickly (when other hostels who experienced same were still in same situation the next day). There are chill out areas in reception, outside and (my personal favourite) is upstairs on balcony with giant beanbags. They organise group events and will answer any questions you have and help in anyway they can - beyond that of the hostel such as places to eat, to go, where to find shopping items, etc. The location is right across from the beach and in a quieter part so you’re not bombarded with the nightlife - which is only a short taxi away. I’d have to be ultra picky but the bed was a bit squeaky - but that’s being super super picky as it was comfy and clean.
• Wadhwani (7/5): Good -
• Morgan (9/5): Family vibes - Brian the owner made us feel right at home the moment we walked in! He is such a laugh, and the staff are awesome and extremely helpful. Because this hostel is small it had a real family feel about it. Can buy tickets for parties etc through here and cheap drinks and a delicious family dinner the night of the full moon + paints provided. Taxis can also be arranged easy as, Playstation set up and good communal spaces. Highly recommend! Some of my best nights on my travels yet 🥰 The only thing I struggled with is the toilets being downstairs as I often have to get up throughout the night, but the facilities are kept clean and lots of room to get dressed etc, plenty of showers / toilets.
• Martin (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jose (7/5): Good - Great cost benefit The toilets are in the ground floor, but the rooms are on the first floor. So not very handy.
• Terence (10/5): Exceptional -
• Michaela (8/5): Very nice for a hostel and the price - Nice building, good rooms with nice air conditioning and nice space to chill, bathrooms were also good It was fine really
• George (10/5): Exceptional -
• Sparsh (10/5): Exceptional - The best hostel in koh phangan - Sisi at the reception is very helpful and has good stuff - They have tours for everyone for free it's really nice for solo travelers - Clean beds and washroom - Brian the owner is a really nice guy if you get to meet him Really enjoyed here Everything was good nothing much to say I didn't like
• Jordan (10/5): Exceptional -
• Barbara (6/5): Pleasant - Clean bathroom, nice common space at backyard Very often there was no water- so you can't take a shower or even wash your hands. No curtains at the upper beds. AC was only during the night so room was so hot during the day, impossible to rest.
• Lisa (8/5): Very good -
• Lisa (8/5): Very good -
• Bernadette (1/5): Bad -
• Tori (8/5): We would defo stay again - Lovely staff, clean rooms and clean bathroom Private room was right outside the social area so little loud but not the end of the world, stairs were also loud
• Mark (8/5): Very good - Great social hostel. Different mix of ages and friendly vibes. One of my favourite hostels in Thailand. It can be relaxed upstairs on the balcony as downstairs they usually play loud music but it gets turned off pretty early so you can sleep with no issues. The staff were super friendly and nice. Would be nice to have soap/shampoo dispenser in showers
• Milena (10/5): Exceptional -
• Anna (10/5): Exceptional - I liked this hostel so much that I kept extending my stay. Great to meet people, there’s a nice terrace to hang out and the owners/people working there really make a difference as well - not just helpful with anything you might need but also great at creating a very familiar atmosphere, nice to talk to and making you feel at home :) Also I was surprised by the cleanliness of the bathrooms at all time, super nice and spacious showers too :)
• Enrico (9/5): Superb -
