Favorite hostel in 2 months of traveling in Asia. Clean, intimate (only 16 people max can stay there) and super friendly. The staff is over the top amazing and generous. Every day they shuttle you to a different beach, which is a game changer in terms of getting around on the island especially for those of us scared of motorbikes. You will become good friends with most of the people staying there through these day trips! Pretty much everyone who stays extends!! It’s just so great and so relaxed!!

Wonderland Jungle Hostel

Chalok Baan Kao, Ko Tao

Situated in Koh Tao, 1.5 km from Chalok Baan Kao Beach, Wonderland Jungle Hostel features accommodation with a shared lounge, free private parking, a terrace and a bar. The property is located 7.3 km from Ao Muong, 2.4 km from Shark Island and 3 km from Exchange/ATM Sairee Branch. The accommodation provides evening entertainment and a shared kitchen. Everything ... Where to start , a home away from home. This place felt like a safe haven in a world of chaos. From the staff to the guests to the Wonderful owners who brought Wonderland Into reality. If you are reading this I fear you will regret not booking a stay here. I came for 5 days on the first I already knew I wanted to extend. I made amazing friends who really elevated my experience here. I wish I could have stayed longer , it felt like a dream. Even the staff were once wonderland guests who loved it so much they didn't want to leave. That what happens you get sucked down the rabbit hole and don't really want to climb back up ! Only thing I can recommend is RENT A SCOOTER, it will just make the experience there a little more enjoyable as it is not a far distance from the beach but those hills in the heat will make you regret not paying 200baht/day for a scooter 😅 Thank you wonderland for giving me only but happiness. I wish to return very soon in the future ... Till we meet again.
