Lub d Phuket Patong is a large hostel built for meeting people, with a rock climbing wall, a small gym and a Thai boxing ring where guests take Muay Thai lessons. Free volleyball tournaments run every Saturday and Sunday, and the crowd is young and ready for a night out. Beds are in four-bed dorms, mixed or women only, and the private Duo rooms have king beds and en suite bathrooms, some of them looking over the pool.
“Location is great, easy to walk anywhere in Patong and plenty of bars & restaurants around.”

The Luna Hostel sits about an eight-minute walk from the Phuket airport terminal, close enough to stroll over for an early flight. Breakfast is included, and guests who land early can leave their bags and wait by the pool until the room is ready. Mai Khao Beach is a seven-minute walk away, and about 20 minutes on foot brings you to the spot where planes pass low overhead as they land.
“The Luna Hostel is a great stay in Phuket.”

How the points work
We read every independent published best-of list we can find for the question. Each list gives 10 points for first place, 9 for second, down to 1 for tenth, and 5 points to each place on a list with no order. Points are added up. A business must be in the top 10 of at least two lists to be ranked. Rankings are never sold. Full method.
