I've been to many hostels and this was the worst ever! We booked three nights there. When we arrived it was already a challenge to check in, because the guy at the "reception" nearly didn't speak english. Then he said to us, he could'nt put me and my brother together in a room. But after we complained (and the communication was still bad) he gave us one key and guided us to a room (more Info to the room later). At this time there was only one free bed and he said, we have to wait. So we waited in a room where the air con switches on at 6pm and it was like 3pm. Because we were very tired of the cruise to Phi Phi, we had to rest in one bed when finally one of our roommates came in, who was directly kicked out of the room again, so that we had two beds. Of course he was very angry and told us, it was the second time this happened to him. So we had two beds now and I had to remind the guy from the hostel 2 times to change the bed sheets.
The room was more than dirty. There was mold on my pillow!!!! Additionally the were heaps of small insects everywhere: in the bathroom, on my bed and later on and in my belongings, something like small ants.
So far...but the next surprise came on the second morning, when the guy came in our room and said we had to check out and tried to kick us out. We said no, we booked 3 nights and he came with some documents. After a longer discussion and after I showed him the proof on the Hostelword app he agreed with laughing and left.
If you want to go to Koh Phi Phi DON'T go the October House!!
