Blanco Beach Bar Hostel

I’ve stayed in a lot of hostels during my travels, but Blanco Central on Phi Phi Island was by far the worst. The place was filthy — easily the dirtiest and most poorly maintained hostel I’ve ever encountered. The rooms were cramped and had zero ventilation, and to make matters worse, the AC barely worked, which made sleeping almost impossible in the tropical heat. They crammed 10 people into a tiny room, with absolutely no consideration for comfort. And if you thought you might at least get a few hours of sleep, think again — they blast loud music until 3 or 4 in the morning, every single night. It’s more of a chaotic party venue than a place for actual travelers. Unfortunately, my room was filled with a group of loud, inconsiderate tourists who were constantly drunk, rude, and disruptive. They came in at all hours of the night, yelling, slamming doors, and showing no respect for anyone else trying to rest. The staff did absolutely nothing to manage the noise or maintain any kind of order. If you’re looking to sleep, relax, or even just survive the night in peace, avoid this place at all costs. It was a nightmare from start to finish.

Bathroom and toilet facilities are not well maintained, no soaps or hair wash or towels or any other things you expect in a backpacker hostel. Cleanliness not maintained well. Instead of the hostel, it seems like their only priority is the party events. More focus needs to be on the living conditions.

The property was really chill and clean the only issue was water, I think that is issue with all the hostels and stays in Phi Phi. Water was very hard, like it was direct from sea. Apart from above it was amazing

What an excellent stay at blanco made new friends party entire night staff was gr 8 overall gr 8 stay

Good stay, was comfortable, items of basic requirement were available in vicinity. Overall, will give 5 stars.

Amazing place, extremely helpful staff! the boat party was the best! highly recommended for backpackers and solo travellers.

The dorm rooms were ok. But there were no locker rooms available. It is a great place to party and enjoy around the beach.
