The place is renovated. Everything looks nice and shiny. Location is good. It’s on the island, so everywhere is five minutes away from where you are. When you wake up you can have some tea and coffee. If you have any questions or need some help, Jesus is there to help you. Thank you for everything.

The staff was great and extremely helpful. On the day I was leaving, they gave me a free lift to the pier. It's not specified in the offer, but in the morning there is a complimentary breakfast for all guests. In bathroom there are small one-use roll towels to dry your hands. I stayed only two nights, but it was superb.

Comfortable beds,people respect silence, the clean everyday all day. The fact that its only two dorms make it a very cozy environment where you can easily meet people. It is close to the beach, diving center and the “party” area, but far enough so you dont hear all the noise and music during the night, in fact you feel like in the jungle. Good aircon. The family that runs the hostel are very nice people, they will help you with whatever you need. I staied here for two weeks, and I will definetly repeat.

This is more than a hostel. I’ve been travelling for years and this is without doubt the best hostel I’ve ever been, just the vibe of everyone is amazing. Everyone comes together to do stuff,talk, laugh… I definitely take some friends with me after my stay here. Highly recommend to stay here if you’re thinking of going to Koh Tao, you’ll not regret it. The beds are so comfortable and everything is very clean, free coffee and water. Also very respectful with other guests, if you want a crazy and not respectful party hostel, this is not your place. If you want to party/or not, but also sleep when you get to bed, this is your place. I felt like home from minute 1 I’ll definitely be back here Sergio

The lady taking care of the hostel is soooo lovely. She is very funny and helpful about what to do around the island. She also set us up with scooter rentals for only 200 bahts! Very nice place with a nice vibe.

The property is very large, with many options of spaces to relax/work in. Super clean, nice bathrooms and friendly staff.

    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!
