Lovely family feel. The staff were great and the woman on the front desk was very friendly and super helpful, giving us tips and all the information we needed. Just little things like the breakfast, helping with transfers and even offering free beach mats was so appreciated. Would recommend! :)
Only one shower per floor but could just use others that were free. The door was also kind of annoying to open and close but really not much to complain about

I very much enjoyed the rapport that i built with the staff, who were always very helpfu and friendly. Thank You to Pra especially! Always being asked for help with something and she always helps to the best of her ability! I also liked that the breakfast was included within the price and I got to meet lots of lovely people at breakfast :) It is only a 7 minute walk from the beach so it was perfect location for me.
The tv in my foyer was playing aggressive hollywood movies. I don't like that vibe. I dont think anyone else noticed so uch, but i know that it effects us subconsciously. Some nice music, like in the main room where the breakfast is served would be great :)

- good and diverse breakfast included (eggs, toasts, fruits, cakes, coffee, tea, juice) - clean with good A/C - relatively comfortable beds - nice English speaking staff who tries to help and accommodate the requests of their guests - it offers the cheapest price for transportation (ferry, day tours etc.) I stayed in 3 different hostels on this street which are next to each other and this one was the best in terms of breakfast and price paid.
- only 1 or 2 showers on each floor (but it was not a problem and I never had to wait) - the hostel could organize more events to connect people

Everywhere was clean and the bed was comfortable. Staff was nice, Ra at the reception was fun. Breakfast was included and really good for the price paid. There were free bicycles to use, even though 3 out of 5 were broken. They help with tours and shared transfers
The dorm had a smell, it wasn't aired enough because there was only a small window in the room. People hanging their damp clothes also causes the smell. AC was turned off during the day, but it was okay since most of the people go out at that time

The location is very close to Long beach, the hostel has a very good breakfast of eggs, fruit, toast. Water is provided, it would be nice if it was cooler, rather than room temp. Day teips are available, 7-11 is about a 15 to 20 min walk. Only transportation is walking, rent a bicycle, rent a moped or the tuk tuk. For moped, make surevyou come with an international driver's license as I have read they are starting to crack down on people that do not and fine.... I know a person this happened to last year. Also, check you travel medical coverage for moped accidents and if you are covered. A young lady i met spent about ÂŁ2,000 pounds on hospital visits after the person she was riding on the back with dropped the bike and burnt her calf area. Another gentleman was ran into by another bike rider, he was hurt all diwn one side cuts, scrapes, no broken bones. The person that hit him paid for all the damages and hospital visits... he still had to go to the hospital each day for wound care.... they were staying at the hostel.... so make sure you are covered! It would seem some of the tuk tuk drivers are asking crazy amounts for transport, make sure to negotiate... I walked most places and took a ride only if necessary. I went up to walking street once... I negotiated 100 baht to get back to the hostel... Bathrooms were decently clean but the drain was slow!
People smoking pot... i was in the building that was not the main building with the restaurant.

One of the better hostels, if not the best, visited so far. The staff was super friendly and very helpful, her English is also good. The hostel is clean, the bathrooms have separate (!) shower rooms so the toilets doesnt get all wet like every other place. They are also big and clean. The dorm beds are spacious and it almost feels like a own little room. Excellent planning with storage, power plugs and curtains for each bed. Breakfast is simple but good, eggs, toast, some cakes and various drinks. Location near the beach and a couple good restaurants.

Review of Hub of Joys – Koh Lanta I recently stayed at Hub of Joys on Koh Lanta for three nights at the beginning of January, and overall, I had a great experience! This hostel offers excellent value for money, with so many perks that make it a fantastic option for budget travelers. Pros: Affordable: The price is incredibly reasonable, especially considering the amenities included. Location: It’s in a great spot, just a short walk from the beach and conveniently located near a small market and restaurants. Breakfast: The included breakfast was a standout—delicious and a perfect start to the day. Friendly Owner: The owner was kind and super helpful, making sure everyone felt welcome and taken care of. Scooter Rental: Renting a scooter directly from the hostel was easy and hassle-free. Security: The building and dorm rooms are secured with a key-card lock system, and personal lockers are available (with an option to use your own lock for added security). Comfortable Features: Each bed has curtains for privacy, a real duvet (not just a basic blanket), a power socket, and a personal light. The dorm is air-conditioned for a good night’s sleep. Clean Bathrooms: Each floor has 2 toilets, 1 shower, and 2 sinks, all kept very clean. Overall, Hub of Joys is a fantastic choice if you’re looking for an affordable and well-located hostel on Koh Lanta. Despite the firm beds and limited storage, the friendly atmosphere, excellent breakfast, and thoughtful amenities more than made up for it. I’d happily stay here again and recommend it to other travelers, especially those who appreciate good value and convenience!
Bed Comfort: The beds were quite firm—almost like sleeping on a wooden plank. If you’re picky about mattress comfort, this might be an issue. Storage Space: There’s not much storage available in the dorm rooms, which can make organizing your belongings a bit tricky.

The bunks were good with plenty of space and the breakfast was great. The staff were lovely and very helpful in booking trips and buses for you and at reduced prices! It's a 4 minute walk for the beach which is great and the bathrooms were clean. All in all I would definitely stay here again
I did unfortunately get ill after eating lunch from the hostel. A lot of people were eating there during my stay and were fine and the food was delicious the previous times I had eaten there so I guess I just got unlucky the one time.

Great value for the price. The staff is very friendly and always ready to help, the bed is comfortable, the breakfast is decent and it's just a few minutes' walk from the beach. Overall, an excellent budget-friendly choice.
I booked a bed in a female-only dorm expecting the female bathroom, but the bathroom was shared by both men and women. The locker is too small - only a wallet fits (a laptop doesn't fit in the locker!). Since the building isn't locked during the day and my room wasn't locked at all, I'm not sure how safe it is to leave valuables.

So so homely and welcoming, the receptionist (didn’t get her name!) was so lovely and helpful with booking tours and transfers etc. the free popcorn and treats, as well as the option for hot food (paid), was a lovely touch. Easy 5 mins walk to the beach and loads of great food places near by. No 7-11 particularly close but a couple of mini markets selling all the same things very nearby. Great aircon!
Beds were VERY hard. Only one toilet/sink/shower per floor which wasn’t as much of an issue as I thought it would be but definitely something to be aware of
