- Carlos (6/5): Barato y buena ubicación - La ubicación es perfecta y la mujer que lleva el hostel es genial La puerta de mi baño estaba rota y la ducha también
- Kapoun (8/5): - Poměr cena a kvalita, tak super. Jinak je to u hlavní silnice. Rušné misto 24 hodin denně. Personal byl milý.
- Nia Beth (7/5): - Great location to explore Koh Tao, good size comfortable room with private bathroom and communal seating area out front. Close to Mae Haad pier and beach, with lots of restaurants nearby and a 7-Eleven right across the road!! We had an issue with our shower on night 1 which took some time to be resolved and it was difficult to get in touch with the accommodation staff to follow up but got sorted in the end!
- Aaron (2/5): Very disappointing. No air conditioning, smelly & dirty room. Unfriendly and mean staff. We booked a room with air c - The location Very disappointing. No air conditioning, smelly & dirty room. Unfriendly and mean staff. We booked a room with air conditioning but got given a room with none on arrival. It was horrible in high season temperatures. The staff said daily they would move us into an air conditioned room “tomorrow”, but each day we asked they got angry with us for asking. When we would arrive back to the accommodation and great them with a smile and hello. They would just stare back at us. Very unfriendly, and unwelcoming. The room was not held to any standard. Dirty walls, both sinks blocked with someone else’s hair, horrible smell that stayed in the room, hard and thin bed you could feel the springs. We dreaded coming home each night.

- Zoë (8/5): Great spot to stay in Koh Tao, great value for money + location - Very friendly staff , great location, great value for money, overall a great place to stay. The only issue we had was that there appeared to be a leak in both the bathroom and next to the bed, it wasn’t a huge deal but there was quite a bit of dripping water.
- Edgar (7/5): -
- Fawcett (10/5): -
- Nicolas (5/5): Pas le choix car tout était réservé à Koh tao - Son emplacement Etat de propreté, pas de ménage en 10 jours!
Pas de changement de draps
Pas de nouvelles serviettes en 10 jours !
Ni changement de poubelles!
Pas d air conditionné
- David (6/5): - Localização ótima, super central. Instalações a precisar de manutenção
- Marei (6/5): -
- Lydia (10/5): Perfecto para backpackers: bueno, bonito y barato :) - Ubicación excelente, cama cómoda y habitación fresquita con aire acondicionado. Me parece un alojamiento económico excelente, las malas reseñas será de gente acostumbrada a alojamientos occidentales. Tras viajar un tiempo por el sudeste asiático, pienso que este lugar tiene todo lo que necesitas: cama cómoda, aire acondicionado, baño privado con ducha caliente. Me importa poco si la pintura de la pared no es perfecta. Volvería sin duda. No hagan caso a los tiquismiquis! Y si eres uno, paga un poquito más por el lujo visual :D Nada, todo estuvo bien, increíble ubicación con los mejores restaurantes con comida abundante y barata cerca 😁
- Océane (5/5): - Responsable très désagréable, pas d’équipement, salle de bain avec odeur nauséabonde
- David (8/5): -
- Josefin (7/5): - Bra läge
- Saul (7/5): -
- Artur (3/5): NO ANEU - Lo unic bo que te es que esta ben situat si vens a fer algo de buceo sino ves a un altre lloc Sostre amb mo negre i humitats. Molta peste a tancat. El llit esta fet amb fustas podridas que quan et moguis molt sembla que se hagui de trencar. El lavabo te mo i esta la pica oxidada.
- Glenn Robin (1/5): - Styr unna,møkkete,veldig bråkete pga ligger inntil hovedveien.Grinete personal!Det finnes så mange andre flotte steder.
- Diane (5/5): Hôtel bien placé ! - Bon emplacement et bonne literie Accueil déplorable et la dame pas aimable
On se douche dans les toilettes ce qui n’est pas agréable
Sans parler du fait qu’on a eu une panne d’électricité
- Federico (7/5): -
- Fabian (5/5): -
- Clement (3/5): Établissement avec du potentiel, réglez le problème d’humidité, qui nous a gâché le séjour. - Localisation
Femme de l’accueil agréable et disponible. L’HUMIDITÉ TERRIBLE dans la chambre, malgré la présence de fenêtre inutile (pas de climatisation, ni d’aération dans la salle de bain) l’ensemble de nos affaires étaient trempés. Beaucoup de moustiques.
Location de scooter pas intéressantes dans cet établissement.
- Claudio (1/5): Günstiges Zimmer mit massivem Schimmelbefall und ein angeschlossener Roller-Verleih, der Touristen mit überzogenen Schad - Lage war in Ordnung Deutliche Warnung vor 8 Homestel Koh Tao und dem angeschlossenen Roller-Verleih. Auch wenn der Preis niedrig ist, ist der Zustand des Hotels nicht akzeptabel. In den Zimmern und besonders im Bad ist großflächiger Schimmel an den Wänden, deutlich sichtbar rund um die Dusche. Das wirkt nicht wie ein Einzelfleck, sondern wie ein dauerhaftes Feuchtigkeitsproblem. Hygiene und Gesundheit scheinen hier keine Rolle zu spielen.
Zusätzlich die sehr schlechte Erfahrung mit dem Roller. Nach der Rückgabe wurden mir für zwei kleine Kratzer und einen Kratzer an einer Plastikabdeckung 5.000 Baht berechnet. Als Begründung wurde eine laminierte interne Preisliste mit extrem überhöhten Preisen gezeigt. Genau dieses Plastikteil kostet online auf Shopee umgerechnet etwa 1 €, und auch lokale Werkstätten reparieren solche Schäden normalerweise für ein paar hundert Baht. Trotzdem wurde auf der hohen Summe bestanden.
Besonders unangenehm: Mein Pass wurde einbehalten, bis ich bezahlt habe, was klar als Druckmittel genutzt wurde.
Insgesamt wirkt das nicht wie ein fairer Betrieb, sondern wie ein System, um an Touristen zusätzlich Geld zu verdienen. Ich kann weder das Hotel noch den Roller-Verleih empfehlen.
- Sian (10/5): -
- Elin (9/5): Cheap and good location - Great location and owner was nice Very basic but for the price can’t complain
- Escudero (3/5): PEDAZO DE SITIO - Irme las vistas eran a una chapa a un metro y medio de distancia de la ventana, no entraba luz natural en ningún momento del día, había moho en el techo, el A/C goteaba, el baño estaba sucio lleno de moho en cada rincón, antes de todo esto estaba en otra habitación en la que el a/c no funciona y de repente aparecieron dos tipos a "arreglarlo" hicieron un puente en los cables anulando la placa base y funcionó durante unas horas, luego dejo de funcionar y empezó a tirar agua a chorro luego me cambiaron a la habitación con vistas a la chapa y el techo lleno de moho, me quedé allí por q no tenía otro sitio donde ir, así en resumen no pongo más fotos por q no me deja
- Lauren (6/5): Basic facilities but good for price and location - Good location , nice bed Ants in the shower room
- Judith (8/5): Für eine Nacht in Piernähe perfekt - Das Pier ist nicht weit. Es gibt einen Raucherbalkon mit Sitzgelegenheiten. Die Frau war etwas unfreundlich. Es liegt direkt an der Hauptstraße und ist daher auch dementsprechend laut. Der Balkon hat kein Geländer.
- Saul (7/5): -
- Jana (7/5): Für ein günstiges Einzelzimmer super - Gute Lage und eigenes Bad sowie Handtücher Zimmer sehr veraltet, einiges kaputt.
- Rita (4/5): -
- Caroline (8/5): - Établissement dans le centre, lit et oreillers confortables, douche partout comme en Asie mais l’eau est tiède donc c’est cool. La dame est souriante et disponible. Nous avions une chambre sans clim avec ventilateurs, deux tout neufs ! Il faisait 28 degrés tous les jours et nous n’avons pas eu trop chaud.
Eau à disposition pour quelques bahts. Pensez à ramener du savon ils n’en fournissent pas mais pour le prix c’est compréhensible ! Humidité dans la chambre mais pour 4 nuits c’est ok
- Oscar (8/5): perfect place in koh tao - the property was in a very good location and the room was super spacious. the reception lady was so friendly and smiled at us all the time
- Mila (9/5): If is good for 1 night -
- Rob (9/5): Would definitely come back! - The location couldn’t be better. Close enough to the pier you can walk, across from 7-11, close to restaurants and shops. The woman running it is to the point but friendly once you check in. The room was spacious and at a great price. They offer scooter rentals and also water (hot and cold) for drinks / food. It’s close to the main road but not too loud and there is a balcony on each floor. Needs slight updating but for the price it was incredible.
- maria (3/5): - Precio. En frente hay un 7/11, cerca del puerto y hay lugares baratos para comer. Cuarto con humedad,puerta del baño rota, señora con mal humor, ruidoso. Temprano 8am nada abierto. Solo supermercado
- Georgette (6/5): - Hôtel bien situé dommage que la route soit si près trop de bruit les chambres sont délabrés fils électriques apparent peinture des murs sale matelas inconfortable drap usé qui gratte même pas un petit savon dans la salle de bain
- Jérôme (1/5): Je ne fais plus confiance à Booking - Rien il est minable Rien c’est une honte
- Maria Pia (1/5): No lo recomiendo sin aire acondicionado. - Era barato. El cuarto sin aire no lo recomiendo. Es sumamente húmedo e incómodo. No te dan sábanas. El baño tiene la puerta rota sin una bisagra y no hay forma de cerrarla. Pedí cuarto que no de a la calle y fue exactamente lo que me dieron. La señora a cargo tiene muy malos modos.
- Ophelia (9/5): Ok cool - Rapport qualité prix ok
Endroit cool en face d’un super restaurant et 7eleven.
On a bien dormi Bruit dans la rue mais ça va.
- thebault (10/5): - Simple bon rapport qualité prix Bruit de la rue.
- Julia (8/5): - Czysto i przyjemnie, miła obsługa Brak klimatyzacji
- Martin Almqvist (5/5): - No cleaning was carried out after the electricians completed work in the bathroom. There was also no mirror either in the bathroom or the rest of the room.
- paul (7/5): -
- Manoe (7/5): - Emplacement. Au dessus du port. Accessible a pied.
Prix un des moins chers de l'île à réserver en ligne Chambre basique. Air conditionné impossible à éteindre ou a réguler.
Locaux vétuste
C'est plutôt un endroit pour dépanner
- Joaquim (4/5): -
- Pierre-Etienne (8/5): Bon séjour - La localisation Rien
- Francisco (8/5): -
- Mattes (1/5): - - Überall Schimmel, stinkt extrem. Sind früher abgereist
- Juan Ignacio (8/5): - For the money we pay, it was really good 👍🏻
- David-Gabriel (1/5): Schrecklich, trotz des niedrigen Preises - Einzelzimmer, gratis Wasser. Das Badezimmer war ein reiner Schimmelraum. Es hat im ganzen Zimmer modrig und schimmlig gerochen und im Bad war die ganze Wand verschimmelt. Man hatte nur kaltes Wasser, das Klo war verschimmelt und die Matratze vom Bett war dreckig, zerrissen und richtig widerlich verschmutzt. Das Bettlaken hatte Brandlöcher und war richtig schmierig. Der Aufenthalt in so einem Zimmer ist höchst gesundheitsschädlich. Wenn man die Tür vom Badezimmer aufgemacht hat wurde man von einer riesigen Schimmelwand empfangen
- Christian (3/5): Staff are great, the hotel not so much - The lady that runs the place is a very kind lady. I had to make an excuse to leave the day I got there, I stayed there previously and it wasn’t this bad last time. Alcatraz looks comfier. Mould over the bathroom ceiling and an AC that wouldn’t stop leaking, I moved hotel an hour after arriving.
- Vanessa (4/5): - People are super nice :) Laundry was perfect! The place is not clean enough. Many cockroaches (even dead ones which lay on the floor for days). It could at least have water for free
- Vanessa (4/5): -
- Valentin (7/5): -
- Freddie (4/5): -
- Jonas (3/5): - Booked a room without air conditioning
Bathroom and bedroom were both very moldy. For a few nights ok not suitable for a longer stay
The price is ok for the island but actually not justified for what you get, besides, there were ants everywhere
- Gładysz (7/5): -
- Ona (3/5): Si hagués de tornar a Koh Tao, preferiria anar a un altre lloc. - On estava situat. L’habitació estava completament plena de moho i feia una pudor insuportable. Vam haver de comprar un ambientador per poder respirar una mica i tot i així no havia manera de dissimular la pudor. El matalàs i els coixins també estaven en mal estat i l’olor traspassava els llençols.
- francobellocchi (9/5): - Good location, the room had hot water. Very good value for money and it wasn't noisy. The bed was good. There was no smell. We would return. Don t have kitchen. They only provide dishes and use microwave if You ask for it. Some rooms have fridge and AC if You want
- Christoffer Rindsig (7/5): -
- Tessa (7/5): Emplacement idéal - Bon emplacement Matelas en cuir, un peu chaud.
- Nataniel (6/5): - The photos don't show exactly what the place really is like
- Frank (8/5): -
- Gabriella (5/5): -
- Vanessa (3/5): -
- jonty (6/5): Decent setup for price and great location. - The location was great, only a short walk up a hill from the ferry. We got the early ferry so had to wait to check in but there's a restaurant over the road which took us in and fed us while we waited. Also a 7/11 across the road which was good. There's loads of bikes for hire nearby and scuba clubs all around you so plenty to do. The room was smallish and a bit damp but served its purpose - we didn't open the windows at all which would've helped but we really don't like midges so kept them shut. This was a good place for a couple nights but not for a long time.
- Nicolas (10/5): Très bien - L’accueil
- Pietro (6/5): -
- Max (1/5): Choose something better not worth the very cheap price. - nothing, dirty sheets, mould under the matress and the owner tried to scam us multiple times in our 3 day stay. Do yourself a favour and go anywhere but here! see above.
- Lucas (7/5): -
- Lucas (7/5): -
- Julien (1/5): Heureusement que nous sommes restés une nuit en attendant la disponibilité dans la guest house suivante. - État de la chambre, proche de l’insalubrité, passez votre chemin moisissure sur le ventilateur, pas d’eau chaude, odeur de moisi et de renfermé, mobilier complètement déglingué…
- Tessa (8/5): C'est une bonne auberge si vous voulez tout faire à pied, il y'a la Clim et tout ce qui peut-êtrepratiqye dans u - La localisation et le rapport qualité prix Le matelas en revêtement similicuir
- Charlotte (9/5): -
- Lauren (6/5): - The location was very good, as well as the rooms, clean and comfortable. The stuff was very unfriendly but beside that a good and cheap hotel option
- Lauren (8/5): - Close to the pier and it is very easy to reach everything on the island. Comfortable beds but not very friendly stuff
- Sapir Pessia (4/5): -

- Lioi (8/5): - Good location, cheap, two fans Nc
- Victoria (8/5): -
- Manon (6/5): Moyen - L'emplacement de l'hôtel, la proximité de plusieurs restaurants La chambre n'était pas très propre, les draps étaient troués, la salle de bain avait des traces d'humidité et était petite, très cher pour ce que c'est (et pas de climatisation avec ce prix), odeur de moisissure dans l'air, l'air ne circule pas dans la chambre
- Lina (7/5): - Preis-Leistung ist top und die Lage ist super. Unser Zimmer war ziemlich heruntergekommen.
Relativ viel Straßenlärm.
Typische Sauberkeit in Thailand: Boden, Bettwäsche & Handtücher wirken sauber.
Spinnweben und ähnliches an Decken, Wänden & Vorhängen könnten mal entfernt werden.
Zudem viele Ameisen, vor allem im Bad.
- Marie Charlotte (3/5): -
- Carolina (7/5): Bien - Habitación bien, limpia y adecuada para un par de noches. Ubicación perfecta. Subian olores del desagüe del lavabo.
- Nicolas (8/5): -
- Kevin (8/5): -
- Luca (10/5): -
- Ida (7/5): -
- Stella (9/5): -
- Jane (2/5): Not a pleasant stay - The cleaner was nice Everything and it was always damp and wet constant noise even ear plugs did not block it out the shower soaked the room holes in the ceiling and uncomfortable Bed, needs improvement throughout.
However very cheap if you need a very budget basic room. We would not return.
