The owner, David, ensured his guests safety at all times and was very warm and caring. There was free WiFi for guests. Very homely and comfortable to hang out in either at night or during the day.

Rooms were great, air con always on and despite there being a lot of beds was no stuffiness etc. Given own locker that you bought your own lock for so personal items could be kept very secure. David was really helpful with loads of advice about the island, safety and enjoying the full moon party itself. Couldn't have been more helpful and gave us his personal number should we need anything at any time!

The best thing about the Dancing Elephant is its location. Bang in the middle of Haad Rin, its only 2 minutes away from both Sunrise and Sunset beaches. It's a great place to meet people. If you're traveling solo, I'd suggest stay either here or at Jaya's dormitory next door. This one little lane is bursting with backpacker spirit. I had a great time and no major complaints. Evenings are spent lazing about in the common area watching movies, drinking Chang and pre-partying before heading to the beach. Just hang around outside the hostel in the evening and you'll meet a dozen interesting people. They're pretty careful about security as well and during the full moon, that's much needed peace of mind.

The owner, David, is an excellent manager. He does safety briefs for all guests, ensuring they know the dangers of the full moon party. He also provides lots of discounts around haad Rin. The building itself is clean and with lounges to play Wii or watch DVDs. Also a place to refill water-bottles...good money saver.

Dancing elephant is a perfect hostel for anyone wanting to stay in Haadrin and party. It is secure and the staff is super friendly and careful of your safety. It is clean, comfortable, close to the beach and even you get discount on a whole bunch of products or services into town. David, the owner, is a pearl, trust me on that.
