The Camp Hostel Kata Beach

We’ve loved staying at the Camp Hostel! My boyfriend and I have been here for nearly 3 weeks. The hostel is off the main road, close to several great restaurants, and a short walk or scooter ride to the beach! The owners are awesome. Kind, funny, and very accommodating! We enjoy chatting with Mam over toast and coffee in the mornings. They provide fans for the rooms, free beach mats and umbrellas to borrow, and are quick to resolve any issue. I think this hostel is a great space for those looking to unwind in a quaint space. Rooms are very affordable and clean. Would recommend and will definitely return again!

Do NOT stay here! The beds are infested with bed bugs. I have been bitten all over my legs, stomach, and face. Within minutes of changing my sheets, there were stains all over them again from the bed bugs. By far one of the worst experiences I’ve had at a hostel.
The hostel is cute and quirky, but there are cameras everywhere. Including in the rooms. Save yourself the misery and just book somewhere else.

Normally i would rate this hostel as 2 or 3 stars but simple down to the owner being so kind and helpful it has to be 4 stars. He was always there when we had any questions, and gave us ideas on what to do and where to go.
The room was a bit dirty and we had mosquitos in our room every night.
The location is good but quite hard to find at first.

Disgusting. Better to read other's reviews before you book.

The owner Aarshi Aight is a very disrespectful and impolite person. She thinks guests as money, that's all. No hospitality here.

Room and bed are very dirty, they don't clean up well. I saw they had many troubles with guests, everything was not well organized. They should learn how to manage their place :(

There are some other hostels around, it's better to stay there.

I stayed 4 days in the hostel and I was very satisfied. It was perfect for me as a student who wanted to learn surfing because of the low price and its location close to the only very good surfing beach in Phuket. Walking to the beach takes around 6 min., the facilities are in good condition, there is free drinking water and a very nice and chilled balcony which I used a lot at. The wifi speed is good. One thing which people new to Asia might get used to is the bidet in the toilet but that was not such a big thing for me as I travel a lot through Asia. Overall I had an incredible low cost stay with great experience. Finally, Achi who takes care of the hostel is a very nice person and you feel welcomed at the hostel. Thanks for that!

Lovely place and warm people. The private rooms are spacious and nicely decorated. The dorm rooms are better than first expected actually. The eco way deserves a big plus an example for other hostels and hotels. Location couldn't be better. Would recommend it highly.

Don‘t go to this place. I‘m so sorry for that, but i need to write this. The rooms don‘t look simular to the pictures in the internet. The Dorm rooms are sooo tiny, uncomfortable and not like on the pictures (sorry but i need to say this). My bed was really hard (but they use different mattrasses so i just judge for my bed, but my friend had one covered in plastic....) and now the best: They have BED BUGS. I red a lot of other reviews (during the stay in the hostel because i didn’t slept a lot) and they also say, that they have bed bugs. So it‘s not a new problem. I killed in 10 minutes 3 bugs!!!! So don‘t go to this place! The weirdest hostel since i‘m traveling in Asia
