I came to the island to take diving training. The first night, I slept on the top bed in a room for 4 girls. I didn't know how to turn off the air conditioner and ceiling fan, and I was very cold at night, sleeping in warm clothes. I was very afraid that I would get sick, because I recently had a cold. Therefore, the next day I asked for a place on the lower bed at the reception. I was very pleased that the administration met me halfway and on the same day overpowered me on the lower bed and the staff rearranged my pastels. I was very worried that I would not be able to complete the training if I got sick, but in the end I passed. And I believe that this is also the merit of the hostel staff.I also want to mention the work of the staff, I have never seen such a clean and well-maintained hostel. We had it cleaned every day! It was very clean, there was hot water without interruptions. There was an AI air conditioner and a fan, everything that is necessary for life. A comfortable common area for work and relaxation, excellent breakfasts saved me time and effort. I will definitely return to this particular hostel, there are good people working there who love and develop their project. You can feel it. I wish you success, with love from Russia.

I originally planned to stay just a couple of nights, but I ended up extending again and again, eventually staying 8 nights! The place has a really warm, family-like atmosphere that made it very hard to leave. The staff were incredibly friendly and always helpful. The hostel is cleaned frequently and everything always felt very tidy and well-maintained. One of the highlights for me were the daily shuttle services to different beaches around Koh Tao. It made exploring the island super easy and fun. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a cozy, welcoming stay with great people and good vibes! <3

The room was very clean and new. Big beds and a good ac. Also there were clean bathrooms, good showers and a top location. The staff was pretty cool and super chill. The owner cooked for us and gave us good recommendation on what to do on the Island. All in all it felt like a little family and like a second home. 10/10 experience 👍

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!
