I originally booked one of the fan rooms and, after arriving, upgraded to a bungalow in the back for the A/C. It was great and I had no problems with the bungalows. There was no street noise and I slept soundly. There was a rooster who lived in the neighborhood, but not a problem for me at all - in... More

I stayed in the facility down the road from the main office. The room was very basic but clean. As others have mentioned, the bathroom could have been cleaner, it was kind of a throwback to college in that regards. The bathrooms weren't old, they just weren't given enough regular attention. There are security camera and I felt my stuff... More

One of the coolest hostels and cafès in khao lak, a very young, modern and hip atmosphere for very fair pricing, check out the great breakfast, the huge shakes and the clean and nice dorms. Highly recommended!

I have stayed at many hostels in the world, and after seeing the pictures of seaweed and reading the ratings with the affordable price, i was sold. After checking in the the bungalow (out the back of the hostel), it seemed fairly nice, just a pretty below par bathroom. Ok thats fine. But.... when the sun went down, and the... More

The hostel is located on the main road from Khaolak. We stayed in a bungalow how is placed in a beautiful back garden. Bungalows are big, very clean and cheap. The manager and the staff are throughout friendly. In the front of seaweed, on the main road, they have a travel agency which we used twice (trip to surin and... More

Stayed in the Seaweed 2 which is just up the street opposite the main Seaweed hostel (away from the beach). Great location in centre of Bang la on. Room was very basic - but at 350bht it was good value - shared bathroom could have been cleaner. Staff very helpful though, and great iced lattes at Surfdrinks cafe! They screwed... More

My boyfriend and I stayed here for the weekend. The hostel is located right in the center of town. Its clean and you get your own room to yourself.

Seaweed has fantastic accommodation for backpackers or budget travellers. The rooms are basic, but spacious and clean. The hostel is located right at the bars, restaurants and markets, you do no hear any noise at all and we had two good nights' rest. I would highly recommend seaweed to any budget traveller. There isnt much of a hangout area, but... More

We stayed in one of the AC Bungalows, which are large & spacious with adequate showers. There was a small table and an armoire, which we... More
