Find hotels in Haad Rin

This was the second time I'd stayed here. The location is great, 10 minute walk to Haad Rin (full moon) beach. The rooms are pretty basic, although I prefer the 20 bed dorm upstairs to downstairs as it seemed more spacious! The common area isn't all that but we would go the restaurant instead which has good food and cheap alcohol (which is always good)! Warm showers, and towels on arrival. I was actually ill when I last went and Eddie gave me my own room for free! I would recommend!

If you want to come for the full moon party then this is the place to be. It takes a two minute walk to the full moon beach. Also, you can lock all your belongings and yourself inside your bed area so it super safe. I fell ill during one of my days there and one of the staff drove me to clinic. They also periodically checked in to ensure I was doing okay since I am a solo traveler. I was extremely satisfied with my stay. My one suggestion is they need a common sitting areas for travelers to socialize or hang out. Otherwise, excellent hostel!!

We really enjoyed our stay here. Its close enough to walk to haad rin (where the full moon parties are) and far enough that it's quiet. Its got the friendly vibe of a hostel but is a good step up from a dorm room. Each room has a double and single bed, so you can split the room between 3 ppl if you really want to save money. We opted for the ac room and were very glad we did. It was very comfortable. There are two fans on the ceiling that are independently controllable as well as an ac unit, so you won't be uncomfortable. The bathroom was pretty standard except that there is actually hot water (not the ubiquitous suicide (electrical unit) shower). So we were pleased. There is a restaurant with a huuuuge variety of options, though this makes everything sort of mediocre. The portions were a little small and they charge separately for rice so the cheaper items are a little deceptive. The pool is great and most importantly, the drinks are STRONG. A mojito bucket is 250 baht and there is about a third of a bottle of liquor in it! We stayed in 3 different bungalows on koh phangan and this was BY FAR the best. Highly recommended. Rent a motorbike when you get off the ferry (150 baht per day) so you don't have to take a taxi there and back (100 each way).

if you are going to stay in koh phangan, this is the place to stay, hands down it's the winner, stop looking and just book, but come back and read the rest of this review! i had a hectic trip from hell from patong to koh phangan. including the realisation that i had booked my stay at the well reviewed lighthouse bungalows completely wrong. i had made a mistake when i selected the date. i wondered why this great place wasn't fully booked as i was coming there for the full moon party! with help from karla, one of the owners of lighthouse, and just a bit of luck, i was able to change the dates. everyone says it's such a hike from the main action, but it's really not, i was in love from the moment i set foot through the small party city located right on the haad rin beach. a short walk through the city and it will put you out onto leela beach. from leela beach there is a wonderfully constructed walkway that wraps around the cliff face that lighthouse bungalows is built on. magical, it's just magical. check in was a breeze, grabbing a few bottles of water from the fridge (they keep a tab for you for both food and drink, how refreshing!) i was shown to my villa. it's small simple and contains everything you need for the perfect getaway! 1) view - unmatched by anywhere i've ever been, regardless of the price 2) hammock - to enjoy the view and unwind in that's all you need. that being said i stayed in one of the larger villas they have, upgrading myself for one night, and what an upgrade!! if you have the extra money and want to live a bit more luxuriously, do it. the food they serve in their extremely chilled out restaurant/lounge is devine. honestly, i didn't eat anywhere else, and i had just finished coming from bali where i was eating at a different restaurant everyday! and it all goes on your tab so you just eat without having to have the worry of paying up at the end. if it sounds like i'm gloating a bit too much, i'm not, this pl

We loved Thai Dee Bungalows; it was just what we were looking for. Value for money, well located, well maintained and well managed. As a couple of middle aged business world dropouts on a 4-month backpacking adventure, it ticked our boxes. Having decided to stay in Haad Rin which is party central around Half Moon and Full Moon, we did not want to be too close to the beach and the doof doof. Thai Dee is ideally located on the main road into Haad Rin and it is only a short walk in either direction to Sunset Beach and Sunrise Beach and the town centre. Close enough but far enough away to be very peaceful. There are several laundry facilities directly outside Thai Dee plus a 7/11 store about 50 metres from the entrance and there are several restaurants nearby. There was a small one we particularly liked on the right hand side of the road next to the motorbike repair shop if you were walking to Haad Rin town. We also ate regularly at Ladino which is in town near Chicken Corner. Thai Dee itself provided very clean and comfortable bungalows, with comfy beds, cold water showers (quite adequate in the heat) strong fan, and the option of air-conditioning for an extra fee (we did not need it in February). Most of the bungalows are raised up so you get nice breezes and the clothesline on the balcony was appreciated. Thai Dee has a few outdoor tables and chairs down by reception along with a communal fridge and free tea and coffee facilities. Beer and water can also be purchased at Reception for the same price as the 7/11. One of Thai Dee's greatest assets is it's Manager, Kim. Kim looks after bookings and reception and makes sure everything runs smoothly. He is a a really nice guy who goes out of his way to make you feel welcome. We really enjoyed meeting him. We also enjoyed the couple of fluffy pet rabbits that hop around the garden, the cute newborn chicks that have free roam of the place and we even became accustomed to the rooster crowing at various times of t

From the moment we walked in we felt looked after completely. The pool was great with a bar and plenty of drinking games to play so we met a lot of people. There is a skybar with the best view of Haad Rin, where they do free BBQ and the manager there was so friendly and helpful. Any time we wanted to explore the island Sharon organised everything for us without hesitation. We will definitely be returning to Phangan Party Hostel on our next trip to Koh Phangan :)

The town is now solely based around the full moon parties, with a lot of shops, services closed in between,giving the town a closed down feel. The beach is now lined with ugly bars and bucket shops. We visited 12 years ago and loved it,stayed 3 nighs this time and hated it. It has lost it's beach vibe that made it special. Paradise Bungalows are located at the far end of the beach and are a good price for the quality and location, they have lovely rooms, we had a superior sea view, spacious,comfy beds with good Wifi, TV, big balconies and an even lovlier, sparkling clean pool and friendly staff, but thats where the good comments stop. Resort grounds look very scrappy and a dumping ground for any old junk, broken furniture and general rubbish left over from the full moon parties strewn around the grounds, the restaurant resembles a bus station and has no atmosphere, whilst the pool is stunning, they invite backpackers staying else where to use it for the price of a drink or 50 baht and they do, ok when it's not busy, but would be horrible for paying guests during peak times. We expected Haad Rin to be noisey at night, unfortunately, hotel is located right next to the nosiest bar on the beach. Recommendation, give Haad Rin a miss.

Before you read this, note that we booked this last minute (a few hours before we checked in) and I dont think they were ready for us which is totally not their fault. To start with positives, the room was a large size, good layout, and the bed was really comfortable. Its a great location, next to all the nightlife and food in Haad Rin but still in a peaceful area so your sleep is not disturbed. We had to check out the next morning at 6am for a flight and staff were pretty chill about it. Room has a fridge. Now the negatives. There was large amounts of mold growing on the bathroom floor and inside the toilet and also on the bathroom door as well. The ceiling of the bathroom was covered in huge spiders nests (i guess they eat the mosquitos which is chill) but still my gf and I killed about 5 mosquitoes between the two of us. Shower head and sink were broken, turning them on sprayed the entire bathroom (i assume this is why there is mold) and the bathroom door couldnt close so water sprayed out into the bedroom as well. There was hot water which is a plus. No wifi was offered. Staff didnt really care that we were there. Like i said before, we booked this last minute and so they were not ready for us, but the mold and spider webs seemed like they were there for a long time This is a good place to stay for one night if you only need to sleep, otherwise i would pay a little more and look at other places in the area.

loved this hotel! right by cactus bar/the beach. we had two rooms booked so they gave us a large room with two separate bedrooms on the top floor which meant we got a living room and full sized fridge - great bonus. the bathroom was huge with a giant shower. beds are comfy, staff was very friendly. the hotel is brand new too. some might complain that you can hear the music at night but let's face it, if you want a quiet hotel room, don't stay on haad rin.

Upgraded at this accommodation to a AC double room and extended our stay The accommodation was good value for money,basic but spacious and clean. We had a great sea view and a well kept,clean pool.The clean beach area was relaxing with amazing sunsets. There is a restaurant and bar on site ....food was great and our host Leo was amazing.He was friendly,helpful and made us feel very welcome!! Would recommend!!!

I got a room on the 2nd floor with a window directly to the sea, which is awesome. I really enjoyed the room. The place itself (reception, overall hotel, pool etc') also looks amazing! The location of the hotel is also great, I moved by foot (I do take a bike in other locations) because everything is nearby. The main full moon beach (Cactus, Haad Rin) is about 10 minutes walk. Maybe less. THE BEST PART, however, is the FRIENDLY staff. They truly are great people. And here's a special story: I needed to shorten my stay (personal reasons) and move back to another place. That's a few days before my scheduled departure. I did book like 9 days upfront. So, what do I do? Should I leave the money and go? That's not a small amount. I had to leave though. So I went to one of the nice ladies in the reception and told her I had to leave and I want a refund for the remaining days. The surprising part is that she was so kind and understanding - she immediately accepted my request! On Agoda, I paid the booking using a credit card. Without any hesitation, she immediately pulled out the remaining sum of a few thousands bahts! I tell you, this kindness is rare - everywhere around the world!! Overall, during my whole stay, they are very pleasant. I love them. That is the reason I will be with them absolutely every time I visit Koh Phangan, and I highly recommend them to everyone. Friendly Resort is THE place. And to my fellow Israelis: לכו אליהם, לא תצטערו. הם גם מאוד קרובים לבית הישראלי והמדהים - ממש מרחק הליכה. תהנו ושמרו על עצמכם :) אלירן ב.

I booked this hostel in advance because many friends warned me that around the Full Moon Party, it is hard to find a hostel in Haad Rin. Not many people have heard about this place so ask for directions to "Yogurt Home", which is right across the street. I arrived two days before the FMP and had the entire room to myself the first night. Jenny is super nice, the hostel is very very clean, nice beds, and free small lockers. Only a few toilets and showers for many people, however. The air-con works great (I had to turn it off the first night because it got too cold) and is a blessing when you wake up hungover in the morning. The hostel is also literally 50 m from the Full Moon Party beach, which is fantastic! Even though it's so close the party, it's very very quiet in the room, you don't hear the noise from the street or even from the hallway at all. You get a towel and a blanket (which really is just another oversized towel, but it didn't bother me). I paid 700 baht/night by booking on Agoda - those who showed up the day before and the day of the full moon paid 1000 baht/night - so beware that booking ahead will save you quite a bit. Overall, I would definitely stay there again!

I traveled to Japan, Vietnam, and Thailand for four weeks and Haad Rin Resort was one of my best stays. Tanya at reception was incredibly welcoming and sweet. I felt well taken care throughout my stay. The location couldn't be more perfect - seconds away from the beach, bakery and coffee shop is next door (called Nira's, they have soy milk! Hard to find in Thailand) PROS: seconds away from the beach, comfy bed, hot shower, clean bathroom, they provide 2 water bottles daily, perfect location (coffee shop and lots of restaurants within walking distance) CONS:

Bungalow number 1, had the best view as it was right in front of the beach. The room was big enough for 4 people. However, the refrigerator wasn't working. It took time for the A/C to cool and the toilet seat was broken but still useable. The Wifi would come and go. You get what you pay for. However the view was beautiful, it was a safe place, the staff were very helpful. The beach wasn't crowded and theres a treehouse right across that served good food and drinks. I would definitely recommend it if you are looking for something simple.

After many visits to Koh Phangan and stays in a wide range of properties, L. J. Guesthouse has become my all time favorite place to stay in Haad Rin. The rooms are cozy and well designed. Most recently I stayed in a room where the bathroom opens up to the ocean. It’s a bit noisy at night, but quiet during the day when I’m typically sleeping. The location is perfect - right in the middle of the action on Haad Rin beach, a 1 minute walk to MIR Bar (the only bar playing good non-mainstream electronic music on this side of the island), and right outside where the boat taxis go to Haad Yuan/Eden/Guys Bar/Sanctuary. It has the benefit of easy access to any part of the island and lots of food/shops nearby. The staff is super nice and accommodating. JB was very welcoming and even invited me to an authentic home cooked dinner with his family! That was my all time favorite experience across many trips to Thailand. JB and crew are simply the best!

I came here to stay for the full moon party without any high expectations - I was wrong. When we arrived, my friend and I were greeted with smiles. The room itself was standard but the bungalows were adorable! Ours happened to look out to the ocean so that was a plus (room k10 I think). The food was great - I definitely recommend the pad Thai! The hotel itself is not even a 5 min walk from Haad Rin beach so it made it very convenient. There are taxis that are available all day if you want to explore the island (100baht) or you can rent a scooter for the day for twice that. Staff was great! Very helpful. When I come back to this island, definitely staying here again

At first that we arrived on 6:00 am on full moon party day, the staff could not find our booking from agoda; we showed our confirmation voucher: the staff was very helpful,she provided another room of our type of booking but at the nearby bungalow without any charges. I think it's agoda 's problem of miscommunication among their agencies and the hotel. But this hotel's location was far about 1km walk from full moon party venue on Rin beach. It's OK for its quietness. If you are not happy to walk on the night, there are many taxi service all night on full moon party night.

We booked last minute and got a 4 bed private room with air conditioning with no minimum stay over the full moon party period. Was amazingly close to the beach/party (though the room was not where the office was). But you could constantly hear music and also the zapping from the powerlines outside. Air conditioning and wifi were great. The room was a little dirty (still had some body paint on the walls and sheets). Big charges if you damage or stain anything. Overall I would stay there again based on location and value alone

we stayed with our 16month old son and 4 & 1/2 year old daughter in their tripple room. room walks out to a porch area next to the pool. huge room and bathroom, courteous staff and very close to centre of haad rin (the old chicken corner, by mama schnitzel). 1minute walk to centre of haad rin beach. if you want to visit pha-ngan for a couple of nights/days from samui its ideal. we left most of our luggage at our hotel in samui. took one bag with our things for a couple of days. took the first ferry to phangnan from big buddha pier (50min boat), and then a 10min walk from the ferry to the hotel; stayed 2 days and went back to samui hotel for the rest of our stay. as travellers in pha-ngan 10 years ago, it was ideal for us going back with the children to get our haad rin fix for a couple of days

situated on the top of the island between haad rin (moon party) and haad leela (quiet side beach), it's five minute walk to either side. the hotel atmosphere is thai style chic bungalows, hotel rooms, or an awesome, stand alone penthouse with fantastic views. the moon party noise doesn't reach the hotel, which is great after a night of sensory assault in haad rin. the room and lush tropical grounds are well kept. the staff was five star accomodating to all our needs.
