I stayed for 3 weeks and loved the location, very clean, comfortable, the curtains are excellent at creating your own space if you wish, i had no issues with noise and the balcony attached was really nice to be able to take private calls and not disturb room mates!

Everything was clean, the bathrooms and showers were often cleaned by the staff. Showers were amazing with good water pressure, and they had soap dispensers to use too. Location was really good in the middle of Sairee Beach, there were restaurants nearby and diving centers and laundry service nearby too.

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 👍

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.
