Good location. Friendly and helpful staff. The bed was comfortable.

Moved around 3 times, apparently the bed you booked can just be changed without you being informed!! Not impressed!

It’s ok for beach life - right on the front !

Stayed in April 2025

The dorms are very spacious with huge beds, big lockers and big bathrooms. The hostel is right on the beach, walking distance from Eden Pier. Great communal area and amazing food!! We did have an issue with a odd man following us but that’s not really the hostels fault. Loved our short stay would recommend and would come again 😊

The aircon wasn't particularly strong and made a really loud beeping sound that woke us up during the night, so we had to turn it off.You don't get a cover or sheet for the bed, just an old blanket with holes in it, which made us wonder how clean it was. We stayed for 4 nights and our room wasn't cleaned once (we don't expect much, but considering you can't flush paper down the toilet, emptying the bin would be appreciated). The space outside the hostel also doesn't look like the pictures. It's a restaurant with tables and chairs, and only a couple of beds for lounging that were always full. Overall we felt it was overpriced for what you get.

The staff were really nice, and the location is great, right on the beach. The room was bigger than we expected.

Not well maintained. The bedframes are rusty, as well as the lockers, and completely dirty. The bathrooms are mouldy, one toilet was missing the seat and there was barely any water pressure from the sink. Only cold water in the showers.

The staff are friendly and helpful. The food is good and reasonably priced. The mattress is comfortable and the bed spacious.

Stayed in March 2025

No aircon in the room, we couldn’t breathe. We had to wake up at 1 am and ask to turn up the aircon. Food can be better for the price

The location The pool table The cleanliness

In the morning is not really possible to enjoy a sunbath bc the water level is too high

The staff is super friendly The bed was comfy

Stayed in January 2025

The dorms get extremely hot during the day due to ac being turned off. But unless you’re hungover there is no reason to be inside 😆

I’ve been backpacking for 2 months as this place has by far the best staff of any hostel I’ve stayed at, super friendly and welcoming. Location is great and the food is reasonably priced.

A bit dirty the rooms but i can understand bc is just in front of the ocean, they don’t take payment with card

Was not too bad for the price, in front of the sea and the bed was good

Stayed in January 2025

I stayed for 4 days and when I arrived the trash cans in the 2 bathrooms in the room were full and they had not cleaned them in 4 days, and probably not the bathroom either. I understand that it is company policy but they do not accept cards at the bar either. In the end it is bad for them, since I did not have much cash because it was the end of my trip.So they lost 4 days of meals, I went to other hostels to eat 🤷🏼‍♀️ And the truth is that for $1 more a night you have much better hotels than this one, right on the beach.

Obviously it's in front of the sea. And the room wasn't bad. The staff is amazing, so friendly, They were all super friendly, the truth is that the best thing about the place was all the staff.

Bathrooms not so clean

Ac, bed was comfy, location was good. Lovely hostel, staff where friendly

1) I have eaten at the Big Easy on previous visits, on this occasion I found the food to have deteriorated. 2) The double bed had no top sheet however there was a cover provided but not big enough for two people.

Stayed in May 2024

Bathrooms were not nice, broken toilet and smell, seems like they are never cleaned. Rarely seen people cleaning rooms anyway and aircon off 11-6 ( if they remember) near enough 3 power cuts a day and no signal on phone so you have to rely on WiFi.

Right on the beach, food good and alcohol cheap. Loads of English speaking volunteers. Beds comfy and AC cold

Stayed in April 2024

They don’t never clean the bathrooms (I cleaned them myself), and when someone leaves the room they don’t change their pillow sheet which is disgusting. The food is overpriced and taste bad.

The volunteers in the hostel were very nice. The drinks are cheap because of very good happy hours.

Stayed in March 2024

We stayed in a private bungalow, this could be so much nicer with a few tweaks. There was no hot water, hard mattress and pillow and nowhere to hang clothes. No outside light on terrace. These Simple improvements would make the bungalows so much more comfortable as we stayed for 6 nights.

The location was great, the atmosphere was nice and the food and drinks really good value for money. Most nights there was entertainment and the location right on the beach was super. Good aircon in bungalow. The volunteers that helped out here were lovely and really worked hard to make it a welcoming place.

Stayed in March 2024

Bathroom in the dorm wasn’t great as one of the two would hold the water instead of draining. Obvious other point was that it was only cold water but that’s to be expected on this island so wasn’t a big issue for us.

Great location and cheap. We stayed in a dorm and it was comfortable big single beds with a curtain. Storage for bags under the bed too. Good food options and happy hour too.

Stayed in February 2024

Rooms smell a little bit but to be expected on a red hot beach.

The bar played good music which was refreshing

Stayed in March 2024

had to walk a km or so with suitcase but that was the location, pretty rural

right on the beach , beds were good enough

Stayed in January 2024

My least favourite Big Easy do far! Stayed in Siem Reap and Phnom Penh. The dorms feel very run down, one of the toilets in the doorm didn’t flush

Great location

Nice hostel in Saracen bay, beds are comfortable and they have a restaurant area on the beach which was really nice. Not a party hostel but okay to meet people

Stayed in January 2024

The rooms are so dark, very small space, and the cleaning is definitely not the best. But it’s fine for a short stay. The value for money is ok.

The staff was very nice and the location very good, just on the beach.

I asked about drink specials when happy hour rolled around and thought it was 2/1 for all cocktails. It is only their house cocktails that are on special, fyi, even though the drinks we ordered were less complicated than a mojito. Staff didn’t clarify until I got the bill. No ATM on the island and the hostel only accepts cash! The sheets looked like they had cigar burns in them and the fan in the room did not work but the AC did and the bed was comfy so it was okay.

Location on Saracen Bay cannot be beat. Bottle refills for 2000 riel. Easy access to trails around the island. Close to Mr. Nice Guys BBQ, best value meal on the island for $7 with a drink included. The snorkel/fishing/sunset at M’pai Bay/bbq/and phytoplankton tour was EXCELLENT and should not be missed for only $16.

Beds very comfortables and clean. The space was chill and good facilities to be relaxed.

Stayed in January 2024

AC turns off automatically so it can get hot quite quickly in the morning. Also the flush in the bathroom wasn't working so had to be done manually.

Amazing location and happy hours with discounted drinks throughout the day.
