21 October 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Loved this place, its a family run place in a good location (10metres to the beach which has a good selection of bars and resturants). Its a quiet guesthouse, but so close to local amenties I'd still recommend it to party people too! The family who run this place were so friendly and helpful.

31 August 2009 Angela would recommend this property

Liked: I had a wonderfull time here. The staff was really nice and helpfull and two doors further you can book some tours. The place is amazing, the beach is just 2 minutes from the hostel and the bus is just 5 minutes walking. The rest is also there, like restaurants, market and tour operators. Only Georgetown is far away from this place (50-60 minutes whit the bus). But the hostel is really great and clean as well!!!

Customer review

29 August 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Very nice staff, who created a familiar atmosphere. As usual in Asian houses you only can enter the house without shoes.They were very helpful when I was bitten by a jellyfish.We were a boy and a girl, not married, not even a couple. Obviously people there thought it is strange that we wanted to share a room, but we were allowed to. No problems ;)

16 February 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: The location is great for the beach and if you like good hawkers stall's then a 10 min walk through the night market and you will find an area full of them, and the is food fantastic.The rooms are clean with just a bed and a table, if your going basic but it's enough as your not in them all day your on the beach, which is a 5 min walk.The owner couldn't be more helpful as he advised us about getting a Thai visa.It not a palace but good enough for a few nights stay.
