Ploy Hostel receives mixed to negative feedback, primarily due to significant concerns regarding cleanliness and maintenance. Many guests report issues with bed bugs, dirty linens, and poorly maintained bathrooms that often lack hot water. Safety is a recurring theme, with some solo female travelers expressing discomfort and others noting the building feels insecure. There are also troubling accounts of the management failing to honor confirmed bookings in favor of guests willing to pay more. On a positive note, the hostel is praised for its central location in Samsen and its very low prices, making it a choice for hardened backpackers. The staff, particularly at reception, are frequently described as friendly and helpful despite the facility's shortcomings.
