    The best hostel in all of Lamai! We had problems with our accommodation, and this incredibly kind woman at reception helped us stay there for a few nights between bookings. So friendly, always with a smile on her face. Nice rooms, good air conditioning, and comfortable! I stayed there for five nights and slept like a log!

    Best hostel for maximum comfort! Especially suitable for a person who is 1.83 m tall and weighs 95 kg. It exceeded all expectations. Inquiries were answered promptly!

    A nice hostel right next to the night market (mostly tourist food) and only 10 minutes from the Lamai Market (Thai food). Everything was clean. I especially liked the large laundry basket. Unfortunately, I didn't sleep well. The mattress and bedding were damp. I noticed that there's a lot of space under the bathroom door, so moisture gets into the room around the clock, even with the air conditioning running. Since it's very quiet, it's not a good place to meet people.

    Tips for visiting hotels and resorts

    Compare the rates of online travel agencies and direct providers.

    After finding a deal on Agoda or Booking.com, you should always check the hotel's own website as well. Many Thai hotels offer a best price guarantee or extras like free breakfast when booking directly.

    Location is more important than the stars

    A well-located 3-star hotel is often better than a remote 5-star resort. In Bangkok, proximity to a BTS or MRT station saves hours; on islands, proximity to the desired beach is crucial.
