Went here for the full moon party and stayed 5 days. Instantly met a bunch of awesome at the guesthouse. I was in a dorm with A/C which was great after the long nights out. The location was also excellent because you didn't hear the noise from the beach parties if you wanted to sleep. David the owner really cared... More

I stayed at the dancing elephant with my friend for the August full moon party last year but still remember how great this hostel was. We had booked it online a few days before arriving as had been warned about how full Haadrin gets around Full Moon. It was probably the most expensive place we stayed throughout our travels around...

My stay at Dancing Elephant for the March Full Moon Party was nothing short of fantastic. David the owner is a treasure house of information about the island and really does care about keeping his guests safe and making sure they have a good time. The hostel is perfectly located... minutes away from all the action yet far enough to... More

Upon arriving in Dancing Elephant for my 5 day stay I was greeted with a warm welcome by its friendly owner, David. He told us about the surrounding area, the dangers and precautions to take to avoid any mishaps. The rooms were dorms and we were lucky we met a nice friendly group, as the dorms are quite cramped! The... More

I had a fantastic time at Dancing Elephant Hostel for the August 2011 Full Moon Party. I was a solo traveler and it was a great way to meet some really cool people from all around the world. Staying at the hostel made my Full Moon Party experience better than if I would have stayed somewhere else. Location: 2 minutes... More

Basically the previous review is spot on. The location and friendly staff (particularly David, the owner) are the best things about this hostel - it's located about midway between Haad Rin's two beaches, far enough back from the sunrise (Full Moon Party) beach for it to be easily walkable without being noisy all night and also handy for the less...

The location the best part about this hostel. It's right in Haat Rin, close to the beach, yet far enough away where you can actually SLEEP without hearing thumping drum and bass till 8am every morning. Granted, when we heard that there were 20 beds to a dorm, we were a little turned off. Yet, this turned out to be... More
