Hideout Hostel Haad Rin

Review by hotel critic

During my recent stay at Hideout Hostel in Haad Rin, I was pleasantly surprised by how this oasis balances relaxation with a vibrant social atmosphere. The double room I booked was well-equipped, featuring air conditioning—a must for those of us from the tropics—and a lovely terrace offering serene lake views, perfect for enjoying a morning coffee while contemplating diving adventures nearby. The communal areas, especially the shared lounge and bar, were fantastic for unwinding after a day of exploring the local dive spots with friends. Daniel, the host, and his staff truly epitomize Bahamian hospitality; their warmth and attentiveness made me feel right at home. The on-site restaurant served up delicious meals, and I particularly enjoyed the laid-back pre-parties they organized, which were a fun way to mingle and gear up for the lively nightlife of Haad Rin. Accessibility is also a strong suit here—it's just a short walk to the infamous Full Moon Party, but tucked away enough that you can escape the frenzy when you need to recharge. Hideout Hostel exceeded my expectations and provided a perfect blend of comfort, community, and convenience; it’s a gem for anyone seeking not just a place to stay, but an enriching travel experience. I can't wait to return for another dive into this island paradise!
