Guest Reviews
- Alva (8/5): -
- Margaretha (10/5): - Vriendelijk personeel, schone kamer. Midden in old town met alles om je heen. Denk aan supermarkt, wasarette.
- Anis (7/5): -
- Freya (7/5): Great! - Location was great, easy to walk all over the old town. The staff were very friendly and always smiling. Wifi worked great even on the 3rd floor. The room was comfortable, no windows so it is easy to sleep in! The pool was nice but the tiles next to the pool get SO hot in the day they burn your feet! Some mats or something would be helpful to be able to use the pool without fear of hurting yourself.
- Ilenia (7/5): Abbastanza bene - Possibilità di lavarsi prima della partenza Un po sporco
- Anita (5/5): - CLOSENESS / LOCATION The pods are not well designed (lengthwise), so all the lights witches is in the far back, no secure luaggage storage and safe box, also on the back is too small.
- Daryl (8/5): Great - Lovely place, Not much

- Josefina (9/5): - The best location you could ask for. Loved the refreshing tiny pool on the top floor. Beds where comfortable and clean, same as toilets. All great. Nothing
- Evi Cha (9/5): A cute place in town -
- Stina (8/5): nice place with a pool, friendly staff, really well located!! - its in the center of phuket town and really close to the night market and many cool restaurants!! liked the pool area and the lounge area. much space everywhere. friendly staff also. towels get changed every day. mostly clean. really good price!! the bathroom (showers) could have been a little cleaner. (higher level criticism)
- Lin-hsuan (8/5): - 燈有點暗
- Amaia (10/5): Une superbe escapade à Phuket! Merci au personnel ❤️ - J’ai adoré l’amabilité du personne qui était toujours là en cas de besoin. L’hôtel était très propre et les lits super confortables.
- Stewart (9/5): - Only six bunks in dorm, on 2 nights I was on own. Showers and toilets adjacent to dorm. Towels changed everyday. Would have liked ice cold drinking water.
- Christine (8/5): Pleasant - Well run hostel, with comfortable beds, swimming pool and very helpful staff Lack of steps to get out of the pool
- Fiza (8/5): -
- Olga (10/5): -
- Ryan (8/5): - Good value, great location. Nice pod beds. Very little opportunity to mingle with guests, the downstairs common area has little seating and the pool only has a couple plastic chairs. It was mostly empty during the day.
- Cecilia (9/5): Muy bien - La habitacion privada era comoda y el hotel esta muy bien ubicado en la parte del old town, con muchos locales de comida alrededor
- Ambruoso Giuseppe (10/5): - La pulizia , la piscina, la posizione , qualita/prezzo e la tranquillità anche stando al centro

- Damien (8/5): Cela me suffit - Très bien Très bien
- Mahendra J (10/5): - Nice clean and centrally located hostel. Little bit noisy upstairs.
- NICHAMON (8/5): -

- Jesse Matthews (8/5): -
- Kaspar (5/5): -
- Tiago André (8/5): -
- Alejo (10/5): -
- Charlotte (5/5): - La climatisation est silencieuse.
La literie est confortable. La description sur Booking ne correspondait pas à la chambre : je n'avais pas de frigo.
L'hôtel a été compréhensif et a annulé gratuitement le reste de ma réservation. Je ne souhaitais pas rester.
Les murs sont fins comme du papier, on entend absolument tout.
La piscine est minuscule. C'est une piscine idéale pour les enfants. Les adultes auront de l'eau à peine au niveau du nombril.
Attention, chambre sans fenêtre.
- Camilo (9/5): - Estaba todo impecable La habitación tenía balcón compartido, los huéspedes de al lado estuvieron fumando por la tarde y el olor entró intensamente a mi habitación.
- Louan (10/5): Emplacement, propreté et chambre au top!!! - L'emplacement de l'hostel en plein cœur de la old town est très agréable!!! Les équipes sont disponibles et les chambres propres et spacieuses. Très bon rapport qualité/prix, c'était un plaisir de séjourner au Borbaboom!!
- Leslie (10/5): - C’est très propre, les dortoirs sont très confortable. L’auberge est dans le centre.
- Favorita (10/5): -
- Tomas Daniel (10/5): -
- Amadeja (9/5): -
- Sophie (10/5): - Gute Lage, schönes Einzelzimmer, sauber, guter Balkon
- Triantafyllos (10/5): - Very hospitable hostel and staff, great location and on top of that a pool on the roof! Changed towels every day as well. Would recommend choosing the pod option, it is totally worth the slightly higher price. Will definitely return someday 🤞 Nothing to mention
- Bethany (9/5): Easy comfortable stay - Friendly hostel, staff were welcoming and helpful throughout my stay. The rooms were clean and beds were comfortable. Location is perfect for exploring old town. Would recommend!
- Jessica (9/5): Gut für eine Transfernacht - - Gute Lage. Nahe am Zentrum von Phuket
- Sehr saubere Zimmer und Duschen
- Schöne & gut ausgestattete Küche
- Guter Aufenthaltsbereich - Pool war nicht sauber
- Die Ladestationen bei unserem Bett funktionierten nicht. Bei einem anderen Reisenden auch nicht.
- Personal war für thailändische Verhältnisse nur so mittelmässig freundlich
- Preis-Leistungsverhältnis könnte besser sein
- Valéry (7/5): -
- Viviana (8/5): -
- Blanca (10/5): ¡Gran hostel en old town! - Me encantó el hostel! Aseo, amabilidad, ayuda, etc. Ah y lo mejor, la ubicación! Está cerca de Todo! Y tiene una piscina pequeña que le da un plus. Sugerí revisar las cortinas de las duchas, porque en la parte de abajo tenían hongos y recibieron con mucha amabilidad mi sugerencia.

- Romee (8/5): Super fijn verblijf, vriendelijke mensen en top locatie! -
- Erik (10/5): -
- Kasperavicius (10/5): Relax in the heart of phuket old town, meet new people and enjoy local cuisine - Location-next to sunday market, price-very afordable, swimming pool- after long flight to relax.
- Mohab (10/5): - Everything. Was super clean and spacious , staff were friendly and the location is spot on what you need in downtown Phuket , close to all the major atttactions , transportation like th blue bus and even the night market + 7/11 I really enjoyed it Amazing
- Alexa (6/5): Possibly has Bed bugs otherwise it was good - I liked that the cleaners provided fresh bottled water daily, and new towels
The pool was nice
There was washing machines right by the place I saw bugs in my bed the last day I was staying there and now a few days later marks are showing up on my body. I believe the bugs I saw were bed bugs and this should really be checked.
- Amelia (8/5): - Such a perfect location, right in the Old Town and only a short walk from beautiful streets. As a solo female traveller I felt really safe here - to get in, you had to scan a card and had a separate key to get into the room. I found that people there at the same time as me were sociable, but that’s obviously subject to change dependent on who’s there. I don’t have anything bad to say about the property. The staff were lovely, rooms were clean, noise was practically non existent, bathrooms spacious, pool nice.
- shaneka (8/5): -
- Roxanne (10/5): - Great accommodation and very clean Nothing

- guegan (7/5): -
- Rosa (8/5): -
- Iwona (9/5): -
- Amie (6/5): Not as described - It was in a good location It is nothing as described. The photos must be very old. The pool had hardly any chairs around it and the ones there were broken plastic ones and very old. There wasn’t a bar area. It wasn’t that clean and the rooms were a lot smaller than the photos. It was disappointing. The staff were good though and the location was good.
- Elizabeth (7/5): One night here is fine. More days, better another place - They clean every day the room great location, does the job as a hostel I would rather stay at the beach than this place but does the job if u wanna see the old town for one night
- Mikail (5/5): -
- Angelika (8/5): -
- Eilidh (4/5): Don’t bother even for cheap price. You can find somewhere better! - POD bed was fine. Mould everywhere - no aircon and no bar. The photos are completely different than what is advertised. Not a sociable hostel as there is no where to get to know other solo travellers compared to other guesthouses I’ve stayed at. I left. Got a hotel and met more people out and about than I did there. Awful. Don’t bother. Facilities are awful, washing prices are more than others around the area.

- Zoe (6/5): Prima voor een nacht maar zou hier niet meer heen gaan. - Top locatie in old phuket town. Aardig personeel bij de receptie. Super gehorig hostel, zonder lift. Foto’s komen niet overeen met werkelijkheid. Plastice stoelen bij het zwembad zijn vies en stuk. Douchegordijn was vies en bed was helemaal niet comfortabel. Airco werkte voor geen meter. Geheel was nog al vervallen.
- Lucy (10/5): -
- Janice (9/5): Great place to stay. - This was a great place to stay for 4 nights. It was clean and spacious. Everything was here that we needed and we were in the old town, which is lovely.
- Zoe (10/5): Sehr gemütlich und gute Lage - Die Kapseln sind richtig groß und sehr gemütlich. Es ist sauber dort und man hat einen Safe und eine kleine Abstellfläche für Handy etc. direkt am Bett. Der Pool ist auch sauber und fast immer leer. Lage ist auch perfekt und man ist direkt in der Old Town. Wir hatten einen tollen Aufenthalt und würden nochmal kommen :) -

- Amelie (8/5): Nous avons passé 3 nuits dans cet hôtel et je vous le recommande à 100%, nous avons profité de l’emplacement idéal pour - Tout était très bien, établissant très propre, et literie confortable Rien
- Daniel (7/5): - Clean comfortable pod beds. Loud group in the dorm next door, also you can access the other dorm without a key as they share the bathroom situated in between.
- Anna (8/5): - Świetna lokalizacja, duża i dobrze wyposażona kuchnia, miejsce do pracy, szybkie wifi
Przyjazna obsługa, powierzchnia utrzymywana w czystości Basen to taka sadzawka, polityka braku butów w budynku = brudne stopy, tylko jeden klucz do pokoju dla pary, pokój mały - brak szafy, szafek nocnych czy lampki
- Anaïs (10/5): - Le personnel était très sympathique. La chambre et la salle de bain étaient propres. L’emplacement était idéal
- Alice (9/5): Hôtel correspondant aux attentes - Nous avions une chambre privée avec sanitaire commun. La chambre est petite mais confortable et propre.
Il y a une laverie au rez-de-chaussée. Très pratique.
Une partie commune au rez de chaussée permet de travailler, de stocker de la nourriture ou encore de boire de l'eau potable.
La piscine est très peu profonde mais elle permet de se rafraîchir.
L'emplacement est parfait au coeur de la vieille ville. Peu de rangements pour les affaires. Le fait de devoir toujours avoir une clef sur soi pour aller aux toilettes et qu'une seule clef pour un couple.
Peu de convivialité (en tout cas rien qui ne l'encourage)
- Emperador🇪🇸 (8/5): -
- Anonym200 (9/5): Gut für eike Nacht in der Old Town - Preis Leistung hat hier gestimmt und Zimmer waren schön. Die Klimaanlage hat leider nicht richtig funktioniert und nur warme Luft ins Zimmer geblasen.
