Sleep Like You Mean It

Most hostels make you choose between social and sleep. At The Cocoon, you get both. Every bed, every bunk, every detail is built around one question: what would actually make us want to stay here?

Bunks That Don’t Move Our beds are custom-built and wall-integrated — no flimsy frames, no shaking, no noise transfer. When your neighbour climbs up at 3am, you won’t feel a thing. If you’ve been chasing a good night’s sleep across Southeast Asia, it ends here.

Your Own Private Space Thick blackout curtains turn your bunk into a personal sanctuary. Sleep in, read, decompress — on your terms.

Everything You Actually Need Hotel-quality mattress and bedding, personal reading light, charging shelf, universal plug socket, USB ports, secure locker, and full air-conditioning. Not a fan. Air-conditioning.

The result? You wake up refreshed. On Koh Samet. Ready to go. That shouldn’t be a revolutionary concept for a hostel — but somehow it still is.

Bathrooms That Actually Work
Deep-cleaned every day to hotel standards. Not a quick wipe-down — a proper clean, every single day.
Built for 8 Guests, Not 80 With 8 beds and 4 facilities (2 showers, 2 toilets), you’re sharing with one other person — not queuing behind twelve. No morning rush, no waiting, no stress. Just walk in and use it.
Real Showers, Real Pressure After a day on Koh Samet’s beaches, you want a shower that actually works. Ours deliver strong, consistent pressure and reliable hot water every time. We also provide complimentary shampoo and shower gel — because the little things matter.

A Place to Connect, Not Just Crash

A hostel is only as good as the people you meet — and the space that brings them together. Ours is designed to spark conversation, not force it.

Hang Out Your Way Air-conditioned indoor lounge, outdoor seating, bean bags, board games, a book exchange, and Netflix on the communal TV. Whether you want to swap stories or just decompress, there’s a spot for you.

Fuel Up for Free Start your Koh Samet morning right in our guest kitchen with a free breakfast and proper coffee — real filter coffee, not instant. Because instant coffee is not a personality.

Your Local Insiders Owners Nick and May have backpacked extensively across Southeast Asia and know Koh Samet better than any guidebook. Best beaches for swimming, hidden sunset spots, where locals actually eat — just ask. This is the kind of insider knowledge you can’t Google (unless you end up on our guide page).

The Vibe Social without being a party hostel. You’ll meet interesting people from around the world, sleep deeply, and leave genuinely refreshed. Our guests regularly tell us it’s the best sleep they’ve ever had in a hostel — and they’re usually surprised by that.
