I liked that the owner was very kind and welcoming, even upgraded my room for free. The hostel is surrounded by nature with many old trees and I even saw peacocks roaming around, which was lovely. There are a lot of thoughtful amenities: free coffee and cocoa, hot and cold drinking water, a washing machine for only 20 baht per load with free detergent, an air purifier, a TV with internet, and a small fridge. The bathroom was large and very comfortable, which I probably enjoyed the most. I also appreciated that mosquito coils were placed outside my room every evening. The price was good value for money. However, the staff do not speak much English and there is no staff member staying at the hostel 24/7. The hostel is next to a road, so you can hear passing cars, especially when the area is quiet. The room smells musty and the surrounding area has quite a few old, empty houses. Combined with the large property, old trees, and very few guests staying at the hostel, the atmosphere can feel quite isolated and a little scary, especially for a solo traveler who is looking for a social or community-oriented atmosphere. During my stay, my room was not cleaned and the area directly in front of my room was also not maintained; dead leaves continued to accumulate there, maybe the staff were afraid to disturb me. Overall, I enjoyed the natural surroundings, the spacious room, and the thoughtful facilities. However, if you are a solo traveler looking for a lively hostel with plenty of guests and opportunities to meet people, this may feel a little too quiet and isolated. I couldn’t complete the booking, so I left before one night.
