Great hostel, very clean and good position. If you are looking for a quiet island to relax, this is the one! I highly recommend staying here. The receptionist was very helpful and since I couldn’t drive the motorcycle he was so nice to take me to the beach and back to the pier. Thanks again!

Pom and her family are wonderful hosts! I tremendously enjoyed the rural culture experience. The accommodations are very adequate and pleasant, so neat to see the island lifestyle. There is a kitten that will come say hello to you. I wish I had more time to spend and look forward to coming back!

Everything was so perfect but the best part is the special treatment that Preeya gave to us! She is such an amazing person, making us feel very welcomed. The room was big, nice aircon and the location is great. The breakfast was sooo good with fresh fruits and Preeya’s amazing fried eggs. Can’t recommend this place enough for an affordable yet comfy place to stay in Koh Yao. It was hard to leave!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    I had the most amazing stay in Garden home. The ladies from the hostel were really nice and did everything so that I would feel welcome and comfortable. The room is beautiful, big and the bathroom is beautiful. The terrace in front is perfect to chill. It was raining during my stay and they offered to get me lunch so that I could eat in my room. They also took me to two beautiful beaches. I wish I can come back one day.

    The Host was the nicest. He offered to pick us up and bring us back to the pier. We could also book private boat tours and kayak tours at a cheaper price than anywhere else on the island. They have a scooter rental and he even teached me how to drive the scooter. On top of that he accompanied my first drive to the beach, just to be safe. You can also do your laundry there. The bungalow is so nice and really clean with a beautiful view to the green garden. It was really nice sitting outside enjoying the nature.

    Best hostel I've ever had! The beds are super big and comfortable, the bathrooms are spacious. The owner is a gem, she can arrange motorcycles for you at the pier and even brought me when I departed. Super cute kittens everywhere :) also very social, easy to meet your dorm mates.

    This hostel is in a really great location, close to the pier and the best beach on the island. Koh Yao Yai currently very quiet and the hostel had just one other person staying in it whilst I was there but I have a great time regardless and it’s really lovely to explore the island without many tourists. If you’re travelling alone and arrive at Klong Hia Pier don’t pay 300 for the taxi - ask them to take you on a motorbike instead and it only costs 100 baht.

    We loved the host, Mart. He was very friendly and made us feel very welcome. He let us rent his bikes for a very cheap price of 200 baht a day. The bikes are in exceptional condition. The rooms were very clean and in a great location in the North of the island. Mart gave us many great ideas to spend our time on the island and we couldn't have asked for anything more. Highly recommend staying with Mart in Koh Yao Yai as he will make sure you have a good time while staying with him!
