Refreshing Pool Area

“I absolutely loved the pool area at Blanco Hideout! It's beautifully designed with stunning views that made every moment spent there enjoyable. I could lay back on a sunbed and relax, taking in the beauty around me. Even though I spent most of my time on the nearby beaches, the pool was a fantastic way to cool off and unwind.” view full review

Whether I wanted a snack or a full meal, there was always something tasty available. I appreciated the casual dining atmosphere that complemented the hostel vibe.” view full review

Comfortable Accommodations

“I stayed in the 6 Bed Dorm with Ensuite, and I found the rooms quite comfortable. Each bed featured a good mattress, ensuring I got restful sleep every night. The ensuite bathroom provided a lot of privacy, which I appreciated. Plus, the lockers under the beds were spacious enough for my luggage, making my stay even more convenient.” view full review

I had a decent stay at Blanco Hideout Railay, but it had its ups and downs. The location is stunning, nestled on a hill with beautiful views, and the daily activities keep things lively. However, the mattress in my dorm was uncomfortably hard, and the air conditioning wasn’t functioning properly, which was disappointing.

The 6-bed dorm had a great view, but cleanliness was an issue. The sheets seemed to be poorly cleaned, and the bathrooms were not well-maintained.

I had a decent stay at the hostel, mainly because of the stunning views and the pool area. but the facilities left something to be desired. The shared bathroom was less than pleasant, and the staff could be more welcoming. Overall, it has potential but needs some improvements.

My stay at Blanco Hideout Railay was enjoyable but had some drawbacks. The pool area was a great spot to relax and meet other travelers, which I loved. However, the room I stayed in was too dark and not very well-kept, and the shower pressure was quite inconsistent.

I stayed in a 10-bed mixed dormitory room, and while it wasn't the best room I've ever had, it served its purpose for a place to sleep. The lighting was very dim and made the space feel quite depressing at times.
