Lovely staff, Jesus and Miss joy are so helpful and help with all your needs wether that’s booking a trip or needing to leave baggage. We checked out at 11am and left bags , were allowed to use the showers etc until we left at 8pm. The people are lovely and we have made so many travelling friends.

Great hostel, chill atmosphere. A mix between social and quiet - you can easily be by yourself, or talk to people if you want. Good location, quiet area, walking distance to shops, restaurants and beaches (roads to beaches or viewpoints can get a little hilly without a scooter, but it was part of the fun for us!) Very nice common area on the balcony where we hung out every evening while enjoying a drink. Bathrooms, showers and floors were always super clean. Big, comfortable bunk beds with curtains for privacy. Good noise insulation in the walls. Breakfast available - toast with butter and jam, different variety of fruits each day and tea or coffee which you can enjoy each morning while listening to some jazz. Free drinking water. Very kind and helpful staff. Overall it was a great experience, would stay again!

All hostels in Koh Tao

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

Beds were comfy, the common area/restaurant is a great opportunity to meet people. The staff is international and very social and accommodating. The owner hosts weekly events like movie nights or bbq, even though it’s a social hostel it wasn’t loud at night. When i first arrived i was handed a towel and allowed to shower, even though I arrived way before my check-in. Daily cleaning of the dorms. Perfect hostel for backpackers or anyone who wants to meet new people!

The owners as so lovely and so helpful. Beds were comfortable and clean and private. Facilities were great. Free tea and coffee and a fridge. Lovely little balcony area and in a great location, close to everything. Everything about this hostel is perfect. Safe and secure too with key fobs to enter the room.
