Really nice place, super comfy beds and great social area in front on the place as well as on the third floor where there bean bags and card games etc. Also ice cold water for free that you can fill your water bottle with. And the staff was really nice. Would definitely recommend, we met many backpackers also staying here.

The best feature of this hostel is the hospitality of the host. She is a very caring person, that makes you feel at home right from your arrival. Many people prolong their stay here. The other guests are also very nice. Perfect when you are looking for a social, but not loud party hostel. Matresses are also great :) value for money +++

First solo travelling for the first time as a women, I cannot recommend more the Dearly Koh Tao Hostel. Everything was perfect and over my expectations! Since I don’t ride the motorbike the shuttle going to different beaches every day was super convenient. The hostel is really big, the pool is nice, people are super nice. The ambience in general is chill and people are friendly. I really enjoyed my stay in Koh Tao thanks to this hostel! The female room with double beds is so much better than bunker beds and make the stay more comfortable and like home. Thank you to the dearly Koh Tao hostel stuff for the amazing stay

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.

    Best Hostel, a bit far from the Main City but you need a scooter anyway so it’s totally fine. Close to really nice beaches, Tanote Beach was my fav. The staff is fantastic and you can have fun nights playing Deisha-Thai-Pool, getting professional bamboo tattoos and have good&cheap cocktails or some weed (or both :D)!! The View is epic, you can see the whole Island and shouldn’t miss it. It’s often booked out (book early!) so there are always many people. Will definitely come back some day!
