    The location of this hostel is super beautiful! The staff is very kind, and bamboo beds are amazing.. Though it is not a very clean hostel..

    The only thing I would point out is that would be nice to have a fridge for the guests if possible.

    I loved the vibe! It's inside nature with 2 decks for yoga/calls/studying/socializing/meditation/relaxing you name it! Plus the location is perfect as for going to nearby cafes and even the city (maybe 15-20 min walk).

    There were fleas in the dorm with at least 3 people being affected severely. They were quick to act on it and shifted those affected to other dorms but I would say this was the only negative.

    Has a vibe going on, very social and nice activities each day. Met some great people here and the staff were lovely.

    The beds were very hard

    This hostel was very cute, it was the perfect place to just chill out and enjoy the nice view. It had a lot of nice hang out places, you could easily socialize with other people, but also just enjoy being by your own. The free yoga in the morning was also very nice. It was about 15 min walk in the city, but with a scooter no problem

    Unfortunately the facilities are poorly maintained, for example broken hammocks or dirty yoga mats where the dogs sleep, there are no curtains on the beds, the food is very basic it is better to order food online or go to the village, internet or drinking water cuts for days and renting motorbikes is more expensive than in the village.

    I was a little unlucky with the period I was here. I can imagine that it can be very cosy and vibey, but now it is dry season and because of the smoke many people are out of town. The staff is really amazing, very friendly

    I think the hostel could provide a bit more..like shower gel or towels or curtains in the dorms would be nice and reasonable for the price. Most of the time there was no hot water, which is fine because it is so hot during the day, but if you want to shower at night could be annoying :)

    Cody is such a lovely place, beautiful and chill common areas ( a lot), there is a place to do yoga, or just chill in the hammock. This hostel has immaculate vibes that is for sure. The staff is just amazing and very kind. Very easy to socialize here. One of my favourite hostels.

    The beds are a bit hard and the showers weren't great Not always hot. But I have to say the vibe of the hostel fixes all those minor problems

    Everybody is so great here. The vibe is amazing and just perfect. Loved the Yoga deck. We're here so often, just playing cards and enjoying the hammock. The area is big and there are a lot of places to sit. I miss the vibe already!

    Staff didn't really seem in a great mood, kinda off-putting. Yoga area used for chill in the evening = quite dirty. And it's necessary to have a bike otherwise the walk back home everyday is a bit too much.

    Nice place, beds have a lot of room around to spread your stuff if needed. Nice yoga area and river chill, cool to be a bit out of the village as well, view was great.

    The place is a little bit more rustic then what it seems from the pictures. All the bathroom area is open air (of course with walls and roof, but the roof is higher then the walls so the air is better cyrcling but the temperature is the one of outside), so an advice, don't wait to late to take a shower or you could be cold!

    The place is great if you like to stay in the quiet. Better if you rent a scooter to go to the city (and around) but if not, is a 15 minuts, not bad to enjoy the nature around the place. The staff is really nice and if you need anything you can ask them! The atmosphere is very friendly and is easy to speak with everybody. The common spaces are covered but with no walls, so you can better enjoy the view. The dorm was well organized and the bed confortable!

    Beds were pretty uncomfortable and no curtains

    Lovely friendly staff. Amazing communal areas with beautiful views, amazing place to chill and relax but also sociable with movie nights, games nights etc. Free yoga on a morning, place to exchange books. Warm spacious showers. Spacious beds. Small lockers available. Close by to Pai city centre. Can hire bikes from the hostel. Cute dog and cat. I extended my stay twice!

    The location meant that you got amazing views, but it was further out from the town that other hostels. This worked to our advantage as we love a walk but if you want to be in the town, maybe this isn’t for you.

    We loved the yoga deck which provided amazing rice paddy views! The lovely dog Jack came and sat with us up there and it felt so homely. The sounds of nature were so calming. The staff were so friendly and helpful. We also loved the amount of space we got in the room, and the beds felt like a treehouse - it was great!

    kitchen was filthy- and as town was a bit of a walk would've been nice to have coffee available, toilets were filled with these fly things which was gross (however they were cleaned at about 9am), not very sociable so not great for solo travellers... we did speak to people who had their money taken out of their bags as they slept! the thief came back 2 times (but not when we were there). there are lockers though so I did feel pretty safe

    great price, lovely chilling areas, big beds and room, temperature was so fine without ac, good strong Wi-Fi, lots of power sockets
