Planning a backpacking trip to Phu Quoc and wondering where to stay? I know the feeling! I spent nearly two weeks on Phu Quoc, and actually checked out three different properties during my time on the island, so I definitely have researched and hopped around quite a bit.
Phu Quoc has become my favorite place in all of Vietnam (although I haven’t explored all that much), and I guarantee that you’ll love it as much as I did.
While the main purpose of my visit was to attend an insane 10-day Techno party called Epizode Festival, it was also the best time to explore this tiny little paradise! I truly think that Phu Quoc is one of Southeast Asia’s best-hidden gems, and I’d recommend staying at one of these Phu Quoc Hostels to enjoy your time!
All of the photos in this post are taken from Phu Quoc. I decided not to add boring photos of the hostel lobbies or basic dorm rooms. If you want to do that, you can view them all on the website links.
1 ) 9Station Hostel Phu Quoc
Best Overall Hostel on Phu Quoc
This really is one of the best hostels I’ve stayed at in all of my travels! The property is simply beautiful, the rooms are comfortable, the wi-fi works well, there’s an awesome pool, friendly staff, and the food is absolutely delicious!
I stayed at 9Station Hostel for a week, and would say it’s the best hostel on Phu Quoc! It’s centrally located (to everywhere you want to be), and has the BEST VIBE on the entire island. You’re guaranteed to meet some awesome travelers from around the world, and it’s the perfect place to call home while you’re on Phu Quoc.

2) Sophi Hostel
Located just 400m from the night market and the beach, Sophi Hostel is very well located on Phu Quoc. There’s also a park a couple minutes away which can be a great place to relax in the evening. It’s located on a small street with proper Vietnamese vibes, and nearby a harbour to appreciate tons of smaller fishing boats.
Sophi Hostel is not a big hostel though, what makes it very cozy and familiar, and Western served is available in the kitchen. If you’re not a big partier or a more introverted traveler on a budget, than this would be a great place to stay. It comes very well reviewed, which is always great to see!
