Loved this hostel - met lots of great people from around the world. Very clean, friendly and helpful staff, great breakfast, perfect location. Couldn’t have asked for better!
It was an unforgettable week with truly the best staff. JJ, Sarah, Bam, Piggy, Jade & Jade, etc. did an incredible job making all the guests feel welcome and provided top-notch service, from helping me through scuba dive training to organizing the free daily beach and sunset bar shuttle.
Amenities were top notch - the hostel is a bit outside the main strip but perfect for a peaceful scuba getaway!
The best hostel ever☺️
Clean, big rooms and comfy beds, beautiful location and very cute staff🥰
Quiet and serene, beautiful pool and i found it a very social atmosphere.
100% will be back!
Thank you The Dearly Hostel for an amazing stay.
One of my favourite places I stayed while in Thailand for a month. Very clean and I loved my private room with the balcony. Great breakfast and the free beach shuttle was great. I did get woken up by nearby cockerels every morning but I didn't mind. The hostel didn't have a social vibe while I was there but I think that was more down to the people who were staying there at the time.
