    Staff were so rude. Asked me for 1000 thb for a key deposit which does not make sense. I said no and they charged me for the room and refused a refund despite the fact I didn’t check in

    Nothing didn’t get the chance to stay

    The club across the road blasted music until two am, the lights in the room stayed in 24/7 making it difficult to sleep.

    The bathroom facilities where nice and being able to use the snorkels for free was great

    Broken blind and noisy to use but I imagine that's a one off. Great food but on the expensive side.

    The bed was really comfortable and private with the blind, was ill for most of my stay so nice to have privacy. The rooftop was great and the showers and toilets were clean. The food downstairs is delicious.

    It is in the street of the party. This is not the problem, the problem is the noise. It is not soundproofed. There is a lot of noise because the discotheque is just below. It is very uncomfortable to have to put things in a locker outside the room. Not practical at all. The rooms are very dark. No general lighting. Only bed light. You can't see anything.

    Is in the center.

    The fact that there are no windows in the small room with 6 beds is ridiculous. Also the fact that there is no room to get things out your luggage in the room or in the hallway.. like this place really needs to be designed better. Just such a hassle to get ready everyday.. not a fan of inconvenience. The bathrooms were okay. Cleaned daily but it was so hot after you shower because its all open air bathroom - not enclosed. Also, you can hear music until 2 am but its not so bad if you are in the dorms upstairs - you can barely hear with the door closed.

    I liked the location! It's right in town on Sariee Beach! The lady at the front desk was really sweet as well (:

    Key deposit is a little high, (1000 Thai Baht) so just be cautious with it

    the beds were so comfortable! Each bed has a shelf, light and small drawer for your things, it pretty much was the best dorm I’ve stayed in while travelling!

    The room was smaller than expected, and unfortunately there is a bar right across the street which plays music until 2am. The shower didn’t work properly either.

    Very friendly staff, easy check in. Great location- if you’re looking for a lot of nights out

    Not really a complaint but sheets were worn and had tears in them. Maybe time to buy new bed sheets and Chuck away the old worn out ones. This didn't effect my stay so I wouldn't mark down for it. Generally a lovely hotel A lot of noise until midnight from clubs until 12. Again I was aware when I booked, this wasn't a problem. Lastly not a complaint but just a note to the less able there are only stairs no lifts

    Great location right where you need to be. Clean room. Helpful staff.

    1. You must pay 1,000 thb before check-in for deposit fee of towel, blanket haha 2. Staff is not that kind and helpful and from time to time they’ll come your room anytime (of course including midnight) and peep you away through cutten if there is another guest who don’t pay is here :) 3. If you lose (or steal, broke) towel, blanket, any etc things.. They’ll charge you 10,000 thb! :) 4. Located right in-front of bar so can hear loud music sound til “2-3am” 5. NO card accepted you can pay only by cash

    Located in main area and pretty clean newly built.

    The darks are way too dark, you can barely see anything even during the day. Also know that this is NOT a social hostel, there aren't any common aereas.

    Amazing hostel if you want to relax and have good nights of sleep. The beds are comfortable, the place is clean and the staff is really really sweet.

    We were travelling by nightly ferry from surat thani to koh tao and the hostel had no clean room for us our check-in at 6am… We chose that one because of 24h reception desk as we just wanted to take a shower&nap until 10:30am Everything was confirmed via booking chat... This situation was really annoying for us..if they would informed us before we wouldn’t took a taxi to this place…

    lovely clean hostel. would recommend staying in the 16 bed dorm room because there is more floor room than in the 8. Toilets and showers were clean. staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. only weird thing was the fact that there’s no main light in the dorm rooms and no windows - so it’s constantly dark, until you go to your bed and turn on the light inside of your bed compartment. other than that absolutely amazing and would definitely recommend

    It's not the most social hostel if that's what you're looking for

    One of the best hostels I ever stayed in, comfy and really private beds, clean and working facilities, rooftop area to chill out at.
