Jesús was a legend. Such a nice, friendly and genuine person. Honestly, it's a shame he wasn't around more (because as the owner, he's busy with many things) because every time he was around the whole place lit up. Great atmosphere and super good place to get to know people. 12/10

Everything about this hostel is fab! The owners/staff make you feel so welcome from the minute you get there and go above and beyond for their guests! It’s super clean and the breakfast they provide is great. It’s in a great location - right on Sai ire beach. I was a solo traveller and met some really cool people here but it might not be the most social hostel for some people! The beds are very comfy also! I extended my stay twice here :)

We stayed here for 4 nights total, and the facilities were all great! Very clean, great air con, and a nice area downstairs to relax. We also did our PADI course with Buddha dive view so it worked really well with transport and all the other details being organised for us. Would highly recommend staying here as the staff and location are excellent!

So the property does not have a coastal view etc etc like some of the other hostels on Koa Toa. But genuinely I would stay here every time 10x over. The owners were the kindest and sweetest Thai people in the world. The facilities were new and everything was perfectly clean everyday honestly for the price you get much much more in return.

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.
