• Zac (10/5): -
• Mila (7/5): -
• Elise (7/5): - Nice little room, bed and bathroom exactly what I needed Small room for 2 people - okay for 1. Loud street but okay if you are partying
• Arianna (7/5): -
• Sarah Jane (2/5): - Guys from the mixed dorm were smoking weed so made me very uncomfortable. Woke up on the 2nd day with a bed bug crawling on my pillow so decided to cut short my stay. Kudos to the staff for helping me. Bed bugs, foul smell from the toilet
• Aura (7/5): -
• Emily (8/5): - The comfort, the silence and the beauty of the place, it was amazing for hostel right jn town
• Clara (8/5): -
• Mila (8/5): It was great overall - Very good bed Noisy roommates
• Alba (9/5): Was really nice, met nice people and overall nice stay - It was a good location, privacy was good and good shelf area. Nice roof terrace with a view. Big bathroom and drying area, also good lockers close to room. Bathrooms were a bit dirty sometimes but nothing crazy. And sandy rooms and bed sheets a bit old and stained. Toilets and showers on different floors.
• Godoy (8/5): Foi boa, mas muito barulho - Que o quarto ficou do lado da escada. E por pagar caro, acho que esse quarto precisa ser mais reservado. Tinha muito cheiro a comida e aspecto a sujo nas instalações.

• Robin (3/5): - Die Lage ist recht zentral. Aber Koh Tao ist grundsätzlich klein, wodurch das jetzt nicht sehr schwer ist. Hatte ein Privatzimmer. Das Zimmer war extremst klein. Es war sehr laut. Zum einen durch die Bars von draußen, zum anderen durch Gäste die ohne Rücksicht durch Treppenhaus gelaufen sind, oder durch Kinder von Angestellten, die laut im Treppenhaus waren. Zum Check-Out war die Rezeption nicht besetzt. Musste mehrere Minuten auf den Mitarbeiter warten und hätte so beinahe meine Fähre verpasst.
• Tom (7/5): -
• Dustin (4/5): -
• Anna (9/5): Gerne wieder! - Die Dachterrasse Einmal ging das Wasser für 20 min nicht, aber dann ging alles wieder :)
• Friedenberg (4/5): - It was a good location. A bit far from the pier however it was an easy walk and we were around most of the main spots. We had an issue with the facilities, no one could come to the room the day the issue occurred so we weren’t able to use the bathroom at all that night. We were told that it would be fixed the next morning. We left our hostel for a snorkelling trip and came back and no one had fixed it “because the sign wasn’t flipped to the house keeping side”, despite all the staff knowing what the problem was. We couldn’t use the bathroom for the rest of the stay and were told to use the communal bathrooms upstairs, despite paying for a room with a bathroom. Besides this issue it was extremely loud at night as it is right across from a night club. The bathroom also wasn’t clean when we first arrived.
• Lyndon (5/5): -
• Tom (9/5): -
• Mario (10/5): -
• Laeli (10/5): Great! - Great staff, we’re so accommodating. The rooms were clean and spacious and the location was great. They also had a rooftop chill area where they had a fridge and free teas and coffees. Inside the dorms were not loud like all the other reviews claim so ignore them.
• Nadine (9/5): -
• Katerina (7/5): - campared to the rest of prices for seperate room was fair Had to leave deposit for the room which is the first time happened to me Location very croweded un less you are searching for this i dont recommend it
• Jack (9/5): -
• Giles (7/5): - Great location and decent room for a budget private room. Very thin windows, no bathroom mirror in private ensuite, no place to hang a towel between uses.
• Sofia (8/5): - Very nice property and clean Very dark everywhere
• Lou-Anne (5/5): -
• Klara (8/5): -
• Deepshikha (9/5): - Good dorm, clean and tidy
• Julia (7/5): -
• Carina (10/5): -
• Maria Teresa (9/5): - Uno de los mejores hostel en los que estuve en koh tao, independiente del ruido nocturno solo usas tapones de oídos y esta perfecto, por lo demas las camas muy cómodas, espacio con número para secar tu toalla y el personal amable Quizas mantener el aseo del piso de las piezas ya que uno debe andar descalzo
• joy (4/5): Mediocre - Paying extra for a private room to be awake until 5am from noise and the hostel does not tell you this is the case until you arrived and don’t have a choice
• Hilton (10/5): -
• Kian (8/5): -
• Kitchumnean (8/5): -
• Arkadiusz (6/5): - Organizacja na miejscu ok, wszystko jest czego potrzebujesz...prysznic toaleta, prosta kuchnia, zaskakująco cicha kabina w nocy. Ja po prostu nie lubie takich miejsc, tlocznych, halasliwych, odbierajacych prywatność. Lokalizacja
• Naama (10/5): -
• Noëmie (3/5): Pas comme sur les photos du tout - Le personnel était assez gentil ! Très serviable pour certains L'hôtel n'est pas du tout comme sur les photos. Il a été racheté. C'est mal entretenu, sale, humide au point de faire des crises d'asthme la nuit, et extrêmement bruyant. Cet hôtel a ruiné notre séjour à Koh Tao
• Anna-Lena (6/5): - Die Lage war super. Richtig zentral in der partymeile. Sehr nah am Strand. Das Zimmer war sehr klein und sehr hellhörig. Direkt gegenüber waren Clubs und Bars, die bis in die Nacht party gemacht haben. Man konnte nur sehr schlecht schlafen.
• Mikka (9/5): - The place is clean, has a nice rooftop Not the best for solo travelers if u want to meet people
• Izel (8/5): -
• Itamar (10/5): -
• Parmar (8/5): -
• Lotta (6/5): - Really nice location Not really Social
• MAIKO (7/5): - very close to everywhere
• Alexandra (5/5): - Sijainti loistavasti pääkadun varressa, jos öinen melu ei haittaa. Huoneet aika ku
• Zena (3/5): - You will not be able to sleep as you hear everything from the bars / street next door. Music all night.
• Mika (8/5): -
• MATTIA (4/5): -
• Aida (5/5): - Està situat just al carrer de la festa, vam sentir música fins que vam marxar al matí.
• Sofia (5/5): - I think the only good thing about this hostel is the privacy you get in each bed, since it is not a hostel with normal bunk beds. I think it was completely disrespectful the way the staff, and specially the cleaning ladies, treat the guests. They come in the rooms very early and start making a lot of noise and they act like we are just intruders or random people that dont matter -- which would be fair if not for the high price of the hostel compared to others in the area. Also, since the cleaning ladies are around so much, you would think everything would be very clean, but its not really - onlythe private rooms. I also found it very bad that they will not clean your bunk or change the sheets if you dont ask for it, and if you do they will only do it after 4 or 5 days of your stay.
• Kanyarat (5/5): -
• Julia (6/5): would not stay longer then 1 or 2 nights except you‘re there only for partying - it‘s simply just way too loud with the bars nearby
• Guest (7/5): -
• Fares (8/5): -
• Oliver Florian (7/5): - Laute Umgebung
• Jana Amanda (6/5): Comodo pero ruidoso - Moderno y limpio, zona muy centrica… Se escucha muchisimo el ruido de la calle, es justo la calle con mas marcha de koh tao, si quieres dormir ni los tapones tapan el ruido. La habitación doble es muy justa, no caben casi las mochilas ni hay mucho espacio, la cama es comoda almenos.
• Dylan (10/5): -
• Monika (3/5): No social gatherings for a hotel -
• Laura (4/5): Disappointing -
• Seán (9/5): Superb -
• Mary (7/5): Good -
• Kerry (5/5): Great location, but a little overpriced for the amenities provided - Beds were comfy and great location Showers were very temperamental, air con wasn’t great and room could have been cleaned more often
• Oanh (6/5): Pleasant - The staffs are lovely and friendly However, the room and the locker area is EXTREMELY dark and its so hard, me and other travellers need to use our phone to have the light shine through to see inside lockers. I feel that it is very illogical to be that dark and lack of light and I won't stay there again. It's fairly dark during the daytime and it's even more dark and hard to see things when the sun goes down. Crazy huh?
• Thompson (10/5): Exceptional -
• Elaine (3/5): Poor - Location Ants infestation got into my suitcase and now have 100s of ants all over my clothes
• Harrison (8/5): Very good -
• Jordan (7/5): Good location and comfy beds - Super central location, was a bit worried about the noise from the street but in the dorms you hardly hear anything. Beds were comfy and private, and a nice roof top area for chilling. Definitely could’ve been cleaner. The rooms and beds themselves were clean but the bathrooms (especially the showers) were not great. There were cleaners cleaning the bathrooms when I was there but I’m not sure how thorough they were being!
• Pross (1/5): We would not stay here again... - We would definitely not go back. We stayed in a private room for two people. The rooms are very small, many things are old or broken, and the air conditioning worked poorly. But the worst part was the service at the reception. At check-in, we had to leave a 1,000 baht deposit, which should be returned at check-out. When we handed back the key, the cleaner immediately ran to our room and came back claiming there was a small nail polish stain on the sheets even though we never used nail polish. Meanwhile, the man at reception made me sign a form saying we had received our deposit back even though he hadn’t given it to us yet. It felt very sketchy, like they were trying to trick us. Not recommended. If you do stay here, be extremely careful and never sign anything without being 100% sure first! Only positive was the location (if you want to party, otherwise the music is too lound when sleeping early) Edit after reply from Hostel: When we checked out, the cleaner rushed upstairs and returned within seconds, with a smile on her face, with a zoomed-in photo claiming “nail polish” on the bed even though neither of us wear any. We left no mess or damage. They initially refused to return the deposit, only gave it back after we got visibly upset, and now falsely claim in their comment it was out of “goodwill.” This is very dishonest. Be careful booking here.
• Macdonald (6/5): Pleasant -
• Freya (6/5): An okay room with friendly staff - The location was great and the staff were very friendly, aircon was strong :) The bed had what seemed to be old blood stains on it towards the bottom and the bathroom looked as if it had not been cleaned in a long time. There was a really strong smell of some sort of perfumed spray that made it difficult to breath, the room was very small although this wouldn’t of been an issue if the rest was good
• Lilly (10/5): Exceptional -
• Lilly (10/5): Exceptional -
• Lilly (10/5): Practical and clean - Super clean and bed was comfortable Nothing
• Roisin (10/5): Comfortable and central - Cleanliness was v good. No 24 hour reception and a pool would be cool.
• Lily (9/5): Highly recommend - Stayed in a private room with en-suite. Clean room with effective AC. Friendly and helpful staff. Great location to Sairee beach. We returned again within the same week. Rooms were on the smaller size for two people, but you can make it work. The street is loud however this stops at 1am ish.
• Luke (8/5): Excellent - Dorms were excellent, very comfortable with good privacy. Also stayed in a private room which was average, dorms were far better value for money. Nothing to dislike, by far the best hostel in the area.
• Anaya (1/5): Bad - Location Air con wasn’t working , room was full off water as it was dripping Room was dirty had to be moved there was aunts and insects coming through the window Walls are stained , bedsheets are stained and room has a weird smell
• Seána (4/5): Disappointing -
• Stav (4/5): Disappointing -
• Scott (7/5): Good -
• Esther (5/5): Cheap and accessible from pier - Very close to the pier I got dropped off at. Last that runs it was super friendly. Aircon turns off!!!
• Ophélie (9/5): Superb -
• Tyne (10/5): Great hostel - Great location, lovely staff that were very friendly and I like the layout although not suitable if you mind stairs. Like every hostel in Thailand, the air conditioning could give you a cold 😂
• Maddie (10/5): Exceptional -
• Martyna (10/5): Exceptional - Incred location and the hostel was super comfy and clean. Stayed for an extra night too It got a bit cold at night and the blinds were see-through if you wanted light on
• Philippa (6/5): Located in party central but not a party hostel - Comfortable clean bed and room. Friendly staff. It is very loud, even with ear plugs.
