Chill Inn Samui Hostel and Restaurant
Chill Inn Samui sits in the quieter Bo Put area of Koh Samui, offering budget-friendly hostel accommodation alongside an on-site restaurant and bar. The property appeals to solo travellers and small groups looking for a relaxed base away from the island's busier tourist strips, while remaining roughly a 15-minute drive from the main nightlife areas. Recreational facilities including pool tables and table tennis help foster the social hostel atmosphere the property is known for. Rooms are described by guests as modern and spacious by hostel standards, featuring working air conditioning, full-sized lockers, and daily housekeeping. The on-site restaurant and bar add convenience, and staff — including reception and bar teams — are frequently praised for being friendly and welcoming. Some guests have noted that bed comfort and bathroom quality can be inconsistent, so lighter sleepers or those prioritising comfort may want to consider this before booking. Good to know: The property operates around the clock, making it a practical choice for travellers arriving late by ferry or with unpredictable schedules. Booking directly through the official website at chillinnthailand.com may offer the best available rates. The Bo Put area is pleasant year-round, though the dry season from November to February typically delivers the most reliable weather for exploring Koh Samui's northern coastline.

Visitor Reviews
It is a very nice hostel. They clean everyday and the rooms have nice airconditioning. Staff is very nice. It is more chill and in a quiet area but its only a 15 minute drive to the party area. Very easy to take a taxi with other people from the hostel. It is a social hostel if you want but not loud with too many people. I would recommend
The hostel was amazing! The staff were incredibly friendly, and the bartenders and receptionists were wonderful. They made the experience so special and welcoming. I’ll carry these memories and the people I met here with me forever. Thank you for everything 🤍
Great stay, great location. Very friendly and helpful staff, especially Mary. The food is good and the rooms are spacious and clean. I do recommend and will come back.
