To put it simply - one of my best experiences in Thailand. Came for 2 nights, stayed for 9. - The location is great. It's a minute away from great restaurants, just a few minutes away from the beach, and 10 minutes away from probably the best gym on the island. - If you don't drive a scooter, the hostel can arrange you a ride for a very reasonable price. - It's clean, the beds are comportable, rooms are airconditioned and quiet, and there are enough racks for everyone to dry their clothes. - The layout and size of the place are perfect, with 2 rooms housing 16 people in total, accissible through an intimate common area. This brings us to the hostel's biggest advantages: 1. If you're looking to socialize with fellow travelers, it is basically guaranteed to happen. This is not to say that you won't be able to catch a quiet moment for yourself; but, the common area is such a chill and comfortable environment to say hi to strangers that you are sure to have a great time. To make it even better, the hostel provides daily organized trips to various spots across the island, which really makes it a one-stop-shop. 2. Secondly, the hosts are second to none. They are friendly, honest, and truly care about your experience. Whether it's helping out a friend who wasn't feeling too well, assisting in booking tickets for a ferry, or shipping the swimsuit you left hanging on the dryer to your next hostel - these are the best hosts you could ask for.

I was supposed to stay there for 3 days, and I ended up staying for more than a week. I already recommended this hostel to everyone that I met that is planning to come to Koh Tao. My stay was just perfect and I would definitely come back as soon as possible. Amazing staff and owners that make you feel like at home. Best hostel so far.

That was one of the best budget friendly hostels I have stayed at. The rooms and sheets are clean and the beds are wide enough for a good sleep. The owner and her sister are very kind and welcoming. If I come back to Koh Tao I would stay here again)

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.
