Chill chill long beach hostel

They have a BIG problem with RATS! There were rats in our room running around, in the morning and during the night we could not sleep, we totally get that there will be insects in a bungalow but rats are just too much! We got to change room and got to see 3 different bungalows. Every one of them had something wrong either there were no place to charge your phone or the fan, or the toilet didn't work. In the last bungalow we had there was a half rat getting eaten by ants. We packed our bags and left, thankfully we got 1/3 of the money back but we also talked to other people there and they seemed to have the rat problem too so the staff clearly new about it. Don't recommend anyone staying here until they fixed the issue.

WARNING! I wanted to let any unsuspecting travelers know, that any review that is older than 2 years, they are for a DIFFERENT hostel, which has since gone out of business. It was called Chill Out House, and it seems someone mistakenly merged these 2 locations, as they are just around the corner from each other. Chill Chill is a great budget option, but it did not exist under that name when Chill Out House was still open (pre-covid). I just wanted to inform anyone who is looking though these pictures and seeing a treehouse/ Rasta bar type communal environment. Look at Chill Chill's booking.com page to see actual photos of their location. That being said, I think this place is a great budget option, and if you go there and it doesn't suite your needs, that whole road is a great area with many alternative budget options that do not have an online presence <3 -a previous owner of Chill Out House

Very nice common area, social atmosphere and bar. It is a nice place to hang out and meet people. In addition to that the hostel arranges stuff almost everyday. Living there however can be a little frustrating. The shower barely works, the toilets and showers are shared among all of those who live there, and the nets aren't completely bug free and I felt a little hot on the second floor. It's nice for a couple of days, but I would need a little more luxury in the long run. Loved the people though!

Unique hostel to chill out and relax. I planed to stay for 3 nights - but in the end I stayed for 15 days :) From the first day on you will be part of a unique community with lovely (mental) staff and cute volunteers. Together we have had unforgettable moments, including insane Frisbee sessions, building sand Pyramids and roasting corn over bonfires at a secret beach... The hostel has its own bar with free water & coffee. You will sleep in one of the dorms up 'in the trees' or in a 'private room'. Each bed has it's own mosquito net for a bug free night. If you are staying longer or traveling as a couple, I would recommend booking a private room (and do that a few days in advance). Note: Don't expect any luxury. You will live like 'donkey kong' in a jungle like 'tree house'. Things are simple but functional. And everything everything necessary is there. It only takes a few steps to get to the beach or the main road with everything a backpacker could need (super markets, bars, scooter rentals...). The whole area located around the hostel I would call a 'backpackers paradise'. One thing you will have to do: Go to the beach at midnight and admire the glowing plankton. If you're brave enough then go for a swim and see the water glow around you (seriously - we were there every night - it was a unique experience). Oh, and one more thing: The hostel has it's own special tattoo studio with a very talented artist. If are in to it, I recommend you to get a nice Bamboo Tattoo :)

You wont find hot showers, soft beds, or a/c but you will find an amazingly chill environment staffed by a stone cold pack of sweet hearts and a really sweet kitty. They helped me feel welcome and safe from the moment I arrived, and I ended up turning what started as a 3-day booking into a week and a half. The island itself is gorgeous and easily navigable and the beach just a 3 minute walk from the hostel is picturesque and the perfect place to watch the sunset while you make new friends.

We had a wonderful stay at Chill Chill Long Beach Hostel. The owners were very nice and accomodating! Room offers shower and toilets. Good location right next to the beach and walking distance to minimart.

simply perfect. if you want to go meet a whole hostel full of like minded people who are more than happy to chat about every topic under the sun with whoever walks in then go here. Watching the sunset every night with everyone in the hostel was a huge highlight. big love chill out house!!!

I can't say enough good things about Chill Out ❤. I came here as a nervous solo traveller and felt immediately welcomed by everyone staying there. Within 5 minutes of me arriving, I was invited to the beach with everyone to watch the sunset. It's the perfect place to stay if you are looking for a warm, friendly and inviting atmosphere, where total strangers treat you like family. It feels like you are hanging out at a cottage with friends. I can't wait to come back and stay longer next time. Thanks for an amazing time Chill Out!!
