"With a short walk to either beach or shared swimming pool there aren’t much else you’d want in a resting place like koh Lanta to ask for. There was although problems with locking the bathrooms. The hostel is close to food and stores but there’s not the best roads for a long walk to different parts of the island. All in all a good experience."

"Krabi is incredible, definitely go. That being said, I loved Koko Hostel but it’s not for everyone. Older building, run down amenities, leaky water connections everywhere. Koko does a great job of bringing people together, lots of hostel sponsored events and gatherings, I’ll be back for sure! "

"Mycket hårda sängar och kuddar. Hårda utenöbler så svårt att känna att man har det bekvämt någonstans. Nära till shopping och restauranger. Fint grönområde med tillgång till väldigt enkelt kök och en helt okej pool. Ingen rengöring eller byte av handdukar under vårt uppehåll på 4 nätter. Helt ok för ett par nätter."

"Great location.
ATM, 7-11, street food, restaurants, night life, laundromat, massage and riverside within 2 minutes walk.
Place was clean despite high turnover of people.
Stayed in 4 X doorm and it was very spacious. Some lights not working when reporting to the staff they weren't too bothered, the issue was not rectified during my stay - 3 nights.
Lively bar, from what I have been told, as I have not visited.
Staff was hit and miss once happy and friendly once moody.(Same people)

"No frills however for the money spent on the stay here I was satisfied - a nice clean private space with shared bathrooms that are also cleaned regularly.
Property felt secure too. "

"The room was overall clean. We enjoyed our stay.
The property has a good vibe of the island offering a party pool and music night with a great location.
Just a feedback on toilet and shower rooms that as they were common for all, it would have been better if the toilets are separated from shower rooms or at least have a bigger space for the current shower+ toilet rooms."

"Wonderful clean, family oriented hotel. Beautiful calm, beach and amazing pool. The staff was very friendly. We would highly recommend. We felt like we were at a high-end resort. "
"We arrived at around 9:30pm on the day of check in, this process was unorganised. The room was very dated. We stayed one night in the hotel and then decided to leave after breakfast. The atmosphere, staff, amenities and general cleanliness were not as described online so we decided to move elsewhere."
"We had a wonderful week at Layana leading up to our marriage at the end of our stay.
Shout out to Gae who I communicated with on a regular basis prior to our trip and during. She was more than pleasant and helped organize the perfect wedding. Nothing was a problem or too much of an ask. Frank, the manager, was our master of ceremonies. He was dressed in an all white captain suit and delivered a beautiful script.
There was a little hiccup the day prior to our wedding regarding preparation but Gae and my makeup artist Way, saved the day with amazing help and service.
The resort is quiet and serene. The food was delicious and the pool and beach amazing. They have special dinners daily as well as à la carte and once a week they have a white evening, cocktails on beach. One of the activities we went on was a day trip picnic on a longboat to a small island. Saw beautiful scenery, ate great food, swam in warm clear water and had an opportunity to stop and feed monkeys. We had done an 4 island tour from Krabi but wished that would have waited and did the Layana cruise instead. They pick you up on beach in front of hotel and have a lovely boat! Worth the extra cost as our tour was crowded and not that enjoyable!
I could go on and on but in the end it was a memorable experience that will be remembered. "
"The staff are lovely and very friendly.
The food we had was nice. Breakfast was a basic selection, eggs, 2 thai dishes, salad, pancakes, chicken, sausage, pancake, fruit, cereal and cakes.
All the restaurants on the island close at 9pm.
I think the stretch of beach at the hotel was the nicest we saw.
The room was nice and big.
Electricity to the rooms shuts off between 10am and 3pm.
There is a small playpark.
If staying here make sure your boat drops you at Fantasy. Boats stop outside the hotel"
"The hotel is excellent value for money - Great rooms, big and well maintained pool, nice spa/massage parlor (which is a little more expensive than the local norm) and the beach on our doorstep. Breakfast is varied and good quality. The staff speak very good English at the reception and are very helpful.
On the quieter side of the island, perfect if that’s what you are looking for. The main pier for speedboats is about 40 mins away (if you are interested in day trips). The local beach is really fantastic - clean, nice sand, great water (good for kids) and beautiful sunsets. If you want nightlife and shops, the closest is 15 mins away at Khlong Nin. "
By staying at a hostel, you can reduce your spending on lodging and save more of your money for going out during your stay. You can enjoy activities in this destination like snorkelling and scuba diving.
