Rooms

5 room types · 35–35 m²

The accommodation consists of mixed dormitory beds rather than private rooms, with a one-person maximum for each room type. Across the options, the common layout is a bunk bed in a 35 m² dormitory, with air conditioning, a fan and a private entrance. Every room has a shared bathroom with a shower, plus linen and a socket beside the bed. Hand sanitiser is also among the room facilities.

The range includes a 10-bed mixed dormitory option and single-bed and bunk-bed mixed dormitory options; their core facilities are much the same.

The Black Sheep Hostel is beside the beach in Haad Rin, at the southern tip of Koh Phangan. Ban Haad Rin is 50 m away, Haad Rin Nai Beach is 200 m away and Haad Rin Nok Beach is 300 m away; Leela Beach lies 350 m from the hostel. The settlement has beach venues, shops and places to eat, while the monthly Full Moon Party takes place at Haad Rin Nok. Haad Rin draws visitors for its beaches and event nights.

Haad Rin Queen ferry terminal is 250 m from the hostel, with direct boats from Bangrak on Koh Samui. From Thong Sala, shared songthaews run to Haad Rin; the island road climbs steeply towards the southern tip, so the final drive is hilly. Thong Sala, the island’s main port town, is about 9.4 km away. Free public parking is possible on site without a reservation.

Haad Rin Viewpoint is 600 m away, and Water World is 1 km from the hostel. The Full Moon Party brings a monthly beach event to Haad Rin Nok, while pub crawls and evening entertainment are among the hostel’s activities. Haad Yuan is 2.1 km away and Haad Thian is 2.7 km away; both beaches have no road access, so taxi-boats from Haad Rin provide the connection.
