This hostel is absolutely fantastic! The owners and staff are incredibly warm and helpful – you feel welcome from the very first moment. I had so many lovely conversations, and I felt completely at home throughout my stay. It’s the perfect balance between social and relaxed – definitely not a party hostel, but still vibrant and friendly. The terrace with the comfy bean bags was my personal highlight! Everything is spotless, the beds are super comfortable, and the overall atmosphere is just so inviting. A truly great hostel that I’d return to anytime! Highly recommend!

I stayed for 10 days and it was an absolute joy. The owner and his family are very friendly and kind, they constantly keep looking after the place and they are always ready to help and give advice. There is a free taxi to different beaches every day from the hostel and small convenient store on the first floor, good community area and a balcony to chill. It's very close to the town center, but in a calm area.

Never stayed in a better hostel! Volunteers here are absolutely amazing people, the vibe is very unique. Very easy to socialize here as each day there are events organised like movie & pizza night, quiz night etc. I would definitely recommend it to anyone!

Highly recommend! The place is in a central location, with an amazing view from the shared kitchen. The owner of the place welcomed me at 5:30 in the morning when I arrived and it is not obvious at all, the owner of the place is so pleasant and caring, making sure that she will be satisfied. I arrived at 5:00 in the morning and she welcomed me with open arms. She took care of me for a shower and a towel and soap even before I checked in. She was very nice and pleasant to me and to every other person who was with her, asking how everyone was. I really recommend it. She welcomed me at 5:30 in the morning when I arrived, brought me to take a shower and told me to check in later, welcomed me in a pleasant, very warm way, she and her team do everything to help and give a good feeling, the place is super clean, the cleanest place I have been to so far, with an amazing smell, the cleaner makes sure that everything is clean and shiny. The bed in the room was very comfortable, many of the beds I slept in were uncomfortable. In addition, there is a shared kitchen where there is bread, a toaster, coffee and eggs for guests and a shared refrigerator and hot or cold water from a machine.

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!

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.
