BearPacker Patong Hostel

Unfair treatment/ discrimination I had a terrible experience here. After a long trip from Bangkok to Phuket, I was made to wait an entire day before checking in. When I was finally given a bed, it was right next to the window with no curtain, full daylight shining in. I had asked for another bed, but staff gave it to a new guest instead. When I pointed this out, they told me there were no other options and I could just take a refund. I felt discriminated against and not cared for at all my complaints were dismissed, and no effort was made to accommodate me. On top of this, the hostel is very loud and dirty. I do not recommend staying here if you expect fairness, respect, or basic comfort.

Terrible treatment after a long journey This was one of the worst hostel experiences I’ve had in Thailand. After a long journey from Bangkok, I was left waiting the entire day before I could check in. When they finally assigned me a bed, it was the worst option no curtain, right by the window, with daylight pouring in. I had requested another bed, but instead they gave it to a new arrival. When I raised the issue, staff simply told me there were no other beds and I could take a refund if I didn’t like it. Their attitude felt dismissive and discriminatory, as if my concerns didn’t matter. The hostel itself is also loud and dirty. Overall, very poor management and zero care for guests.

Very friendly and helpful staff. A relatively quiet atmosphere considering the location so we got great sleep. Beds are comfortable and have charging ports, lockers, towels, etc as you'd expect. The only issue I'd mention is that the room did have a damp smell, but for the price and location it's not unbearable for a night or two.

Absolutely LOVED my stay at BearPacker Hostel in Thailand — hands down one of the best hostel experiences I’ve ever had! First off, the rooms were spotless, super comfy, and thoughtfully designed for both solo travelers and groups. The beds were cozy with privacy curtains, and the aircon was a lifesaver in the Thai heat. The bathrooms were always clean, with great showers and plenty of space to get ready — it honestly felt more like a boutique hotel than a hostel. The staff and service were next level — incredibly warm, helpful, and always up for a chat or to offer travel tips. They made check-in a breeze and went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and having a good time. It really felt like a home away from home. Now for the highlight: the BAR. This place knows how to bring people together. The vibe was always buzzing, and the 450 baht for 2 HOURS of unlimited drinks deal is absolutely unreal. Perfect for pre-drinks before hitting the town or just meeting awesome people from around the world. The bartenders kept the energy high and the drinks flowing — it was the perfect social hub every night. If you’re heading to Thailand and want a mix of comfort, community, and straight-up fun, BearPacker Hostel is a must. I’ll 100% be back. Thank you for such a legendary stay! 🐻🍻✨

The staff here were top tier, reception open 24/7 as well as the pool. The pool and smoking area had a lovely view. The toilets were clean and the rooms were really good. The rooftop bar was brilliant for meeting your fellow backpackers along the best bartender I've ever met 💪💪 If you're staying in patong this is the best place to stay as it's a stones throw away from Bangla road and most of the bars around.

Had a good stay here. Excellent location close to the beach and the bars. Nice rooftop area with a pool has a great social atmosphere, good place to make new friends. Good security in the dorms. The beds didn't have curtains that went all the way across though, and some of the bed-frames were a bit rusty.

Room condition is was bad, very humid and clothes wont even dry out in aircon room, imagine that. Floor was always sticky and bathroom drains is always stuck and water overflow during shower. Great location and worker in reception are always friendly and helpful. Overall is not too bad, just need to improve more on the room cleanliness and facilities.

Barefoot Hostel, a million degrees but the room AC is good. However, bedding becomes damp when you're not in the room with the AC on. Communal toilets and showers are clean but sweltering. The common room is cool ❄️ but the outside bar isn't great at all. Right around the corner from the main street Bangla which is the best part.
