I split a room somewhere else the night before, and I would strongly recommend that if you have someone to share with. If you're on your... More

Good location, close to the party beach, so you shouldn't mind some noise at night. The restaurant is also good. Showers and toilets are all shared, but nice and clean.

Stayed in the mixed dorm here. The dorm itself was a dump. Got more bites in 3 days here than I got in 3 weeks prior. Fan dorm. Ridiculously hot at night.

well, I was a bit hesitate to stay here actually after seeing the picture of their dorm and beds.. but I was too tired to find other place and I know many travelers want to stay here, so I give it a try. As a result, yes, the dorm is same as I read, not too clean, full of handwriting... More

We stayed for 4 nights on phi phi and when we sheltered from the rain we were very glad that we chose the rock. For 500 baht a night we got a very nice double room at the top of the rock with lovely views over the bay. The shared bathrooms were only a floor below and were kept very... More
