Cheap Backpackers Place
Date:
This hostel had a very good location, on this small island. It is located on a rock, only a few minutes from the two beaches or all the night-life venues. To get to the dorm rooms you have to climb...

The best hostel I have ever stayed in!
Date:
The rock is THE ROCK! I have been travelling 16months and the rock is without a doubt or second thought the best hostel I have stayed in! I first went to the rock at the start of my trip in Oct 2011....

Katastrophal
Date:
I've travelled a lot and slept in many hostels. The Rock was defenitley my WORST hostel-experience. The staff was unfriendly, rude and very impolite. The dorms are very disgusting, smelly and it is...

Very Good

A fun hostel.
Date:
I ended up going back here twice during my stay in Thailand. The Rock is undoubtably a party hostel with hard beds and noisy dorm but it is also a friendly place with clean and plentiful bathrooms. ...

Terrible

Don't stay here!
Date:
Worst place we stayed during our 6 weeks in Thailand. Very scary owners, so many steps to walk up, unclean washing facilities (full of cockroaches). Our room smelt and the bed was extremely hard. We...

Poor

Date:
Large plain rooms with uncomfortable beds and people constantly coming in and out but thats ok because youll probably be drunk most nights. expensive for a hostel but average for phi phi. location is...

Excellent

Without this place my trip would never have been the same...!
Date:
I stayed in a private room with a double and single bed with 2 of my friends. It was very clean and the beds were comfy. In no time we were out in the social area outside dorm A pre-drinking and...

Don't stay here if you want to leave with everything that you came with
Date:
I cannot state clearly enough for you not to stay here. I stayed here for 4 nights, the first 2 nights were great as I had a lot of fun. You do have to be drunk to sleep here though as the beds are...

Terrible

Go here if you want your valuables stolen by the staff.
Date:
I arrived at the Rock a week ago after hearing good reviews; sure it's a fantastic party hostel, and you meet tonnes of people, but the place is grim. I've stayed in dives before but this was another...

rock mattress
Date:
of all the dorms i have been, this one probably has the hardest mattress - couldn't sleep well at night. i am usually alright sleeping with just the fan but if you are on the lower bunk, you probably...

Poor

Meets the bare minimum
Date:
I stayed here about a year ago, so some of this may have changed by now. When I went, this was pretty much the only hostel on the island, so there weren't many options. I split a room somewhere else...

Party location
Date:
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. Nevertheless 800 Baht for a...

Poor

Perfect if you want to go out and get smashed and crash. Not so perfect if you want more than 3 hours sleep per night!
Date:
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. The good thing about this dorm was there...

Clean and affordable, bit noisy though.

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...
