    A little boring as there are no communal activities. No real aircon- only fans. this wasn't too much of a problem until i ended up with heatstroke where i couldn't cool down at all when i went to bed. If there was proper aircon here it would have been a much better stay! Overall worth it for the price though.

    Super friendly staff! Nice and quiet location albeit a 10 min walk off the beaten track. Was very relaxed here. Cure cats and turtles! Very cheap!

    It is not a social hostel

    Bathroom in the room. Located amidst the greenery in a quiet setting, but with a 5 minute walk you can reach the centre. For me it was perfect. There is a common area, but during my stay it was not frequented.

    The beds & mattresses. The bunk beds are literally next to each other - you can touch your neighbor. The bottom mattresses are directly on concrete - which was pretty dirty if you looked under them. The room could fit 22(!) people, but there's no way the luggage of 22 people would ever fit. Anything more than 8 would be too much for the available space - but they seem to know it, the top beds were not in use. Toilet, sink and floors could be cleaner. Only one bathroom available. A/C was present but they wouldn't turn it on. Instead fans were used at their max setting 24/7, which meant they were very loud - earplugs recommended.

    The common area was great. Outdoors but covered, with enough chairs & tables, hammocks, electricity outlets and a toilet. The bathroom was very beautiful and had enough space. Luckily we were only 4 people in the room, otherwise I have no idea how it would work. They provided free drinking water. The staff was super helpful and friendly.

    We could have done with more checks on the room for things such as toilet roll as we ran out and the staff wouldn’t be around to ask for more when we went in the evening due to the time. But that was a very minor inconvenience.

    Perfect location and really friendly staff. We opted for a private room which was great value for money. Clean and basic accommodation. Definitely recommend

    The only major drawback would be the lack of AC. I thought the fans would be enough, but they weren't really. Then, some minor details could be improved too - some chairs for the table to sit at, soap for the sink, which is outside the bathroom, or hangers for the clothes rack.

    The room was spacious and comfortable, with 2 fans doing the heat management. It looked clean and had enough storage room. I appreciated the slightly remote location, close to the Mango viewpoint trail and a 10-15 min walk from the beach. There are plenty of eateries, laundry service or supermarkets around. The ladies at the reception were also very lovely. There's a large common area that looked quite comfortable.

    Beds were very close together and there was no Aircon so I was sweating all night as the fans did not really help.

    Definitely one of the cheaper hostels in Koh tao. The common seating area up the top was nice if you need to work or just want to chill. Rooms were clean.

    Some sort of privacy curtain between the bunk beds would have been nice.

    If you are looking for a place that is just a bit away from all the partying and isn't insanely expensive this is the best spot in central Koh Tao. The open air hangout area is super peaceful and a good place to meet and talk to other travelers.
