Located in Koh Tao, Closca Hostel Koh Tao features a shared lounge, terrace, bar, and free WiFi throughout the property. The property is around 7.3 km from Ao Muong, less than 1 km from Chalok Viewpoint and 1.9 km from Shark Island. The property is non-smoking and is set less than 1 km from Chalok Baan Kao Beach. 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.

Set in Koh Tao and with Sairee Beach reachable within 200 metres, Koh Tao Silver Na’s Hostel offers a tour desk, non-smoking rooms, free bikes, free WiFi throughout the property and a shared lounge. The property is situated 4.5 km from Ao Muong, 500 metres from Exchange/ATM Sairee Branch and 3.7 km from Chalok Viewpoint. 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

Amazing! Spectacular! There are so many positive things to say about this hostel. This place is honestly a home away from home. I booked 4 nights, ended up extending as per the wonderland experience. This place is very social and attracts the right kind of people. Dorms and common areas are always kept clean, with showers and toilet being separate which is always a plus. Very environmentally friendly with no single use plastic and seperate recycling bins. A big shout out to the wonderland crew, especially Melissa, the outings were awesome girl, volleyball was such a highlight. Team Wonderland xx
