If i would go there again i would try to spend as little time as possible in the hotel

Good rooms, decent food, nice atmosphere

No wi-fi or internet connection whatsoever in my room had to go to the lobby to get some connection, no room service for the whole 4 nights, careful what you pick on the menu. Either a solid 9/10 food or a solid 2/10 food

8.0 / 10.0

Good but as any hostel, a bit noisy

Outside of the busy center of koh tao Clean big room I let my bag for the day and offer me to take a shower when I take it back

Noise from other rooms (good ear plugs are provide) especially doors closing. AC not so powerful. Fridge on the key holder.

8.0 / 10.0

Good value for money nice place

Good view nice facilities inside

Shower is partially outside. Balcony was very small which wasn’t too much of an issue as there’s seating area out the front of the rooms.

8.0 / 10.0

Convenient location for the pier

Great location — just a 5-minute walk from the pier and surrounded by plenty of restaurants and bars. It’s about a 30-minute walk to Sairee Beach. The bedroom was clean and comfortable. The bathroom being outside (though covered) was a bit unusual at first, but we got used to it quickly and I actually ended up really liking it. They offer free snorkels to borrow and beach towels with a refundable deposit, which was super handy. No matter where you stay on the island, I’d definitely recommend renting a scooter — everything is quite spread out.

8.0 / 10.0

Good.

The location and extremely large common areas.

They say it includes breakfast, but it's just bread with jam, which is kind of frustrating.

8.0 / 10.0

Very nice and peacful

I stayed in the Boxtel part for 3 nights. The room was large and I liked the space next to my bed for my stuff. I also liked the bathroom, it was also large and comfortable as opened from the room. There was also hairdryer which is a big pro for me. The whole place was nice, peaceful and good to arrive to at the end of the day.

The only con is the location, but I wouldn't say it was a big problem, it's just away from the vibrant downtown (30 mins walk), but very close to the ferry station.

9.0 / 10.0

Very good

Really good place, u have space, tv is great not far from the bed. Bed is good. Not far from the pier. Water and toilet paper every day. Maybe too much toilet paper XD.

No cleaning room service.

10.0 / 10.0

Very nice and cosy accommodation close to the pier and night life

White Jail was really great, amazing location, very nice rooms. We stayed at private room in first floor, it was big and comfortable with a little balcony. If you have a longer visit (we stayed 8 nights), you can just ask for your room to get cleaned any time you want. You also get free water every day. The staff is also very nice, they let us leave our luggage there for free because we came with the overnight ferry and had to wait for our room to get ready, and we could just chill at the back and drink some free coffee. They also let us extend our check out for one hour which was really convenient. In regard to the loud music from the next door Rasta Baby bar - there is nothing left from this bar anymore, it was literally torn down so this is not a problem anymore 😉 Across the street there is a bar Tipsy Turtle which has “loud” music almost every night but nothing earplugs couldn’t solve (they give them to you if you ask) so this was no trouble at all.

9.0 / 10.0

Very good

The private room was very clean. Shared toilets were very clean as well

6.0 / 10.0

It’s a 20 bed dorm, not a 10 bed

It’s a nice hostel, the staff are helpful and friendly. They gave me extra blankets and a new pillow when I asked and the location is good.

The reason it doesn’t get a higher score is because we booked the 10 bed dorm and once we got here to our surprise it’s a 20 bed dorm!! I wouldn’t have minded if we knew in the first place. Other than that surprise it was a good stay.

8.0 / 10.0

Pretty good overall just a bit too hot and top bed isn’t 100% private

Decent amount of space in the boxtel Big toilets and showers (separate thankfully) Nice staff Good location Lots of moped parking space Nice communal areas Free tea, coffee and toast for breakfast

In the corner of the room with aircon set to 22 i was too hot and had no fan airflow on me. The curtain shut keep the heat in even more. Top bed is missing a side curtain so you get light come in from other people’s pods that you can’t block. Pick bottom bed if you can

Perfect loctaion for Koh Tao- not too loud but 15 min walk from everywhere

Rooms very clean and spacious private room. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. Restaurant attached to hostel was also perfect for breakfast. Great food for good price

10.0 / 10.0

Chill but near everything

The terrace was nice and spacious and they had a jenga, music from next door didn’t bother us.Room was small but we had a kettle and a working ac. The shared bathrooms were always and they had many shower cabins. Location was great everything you need including 7-eleven and scooter rentals in walking distance. Staff was nice and always friendly. Cafe infront is really yummy

Everything was great

9.0 / 10.0

laid back experience

it was very close to the centre of town, and it was cheap, clean and easygoing to stay at. the dorms had AC, free drinking water, free snorkels,books and balls, and the cafe out the front was convenient.

the bed was a bit hard, and if you don’t like bugs you should probably not stay here. i don’t mind bugs, but the outside showers and toilets make good hideouts for creepy crawlies

1.0 / 10.0

Don’t recommend

Near the pier, restaurants and other stores

The bar next door very loud until really late. During the whole day it has music so no moment of silence. Neither im the room or on the chill areas. No curtains for the bed. Not enough space to display your items and luggage

Abysmal night

They serve breakfast, they gave deposit back so are honest

Noisy, dirty, floors, nasty bathrooms, smelt damp in dorm, the whole interior of dorm room n bathroom looks creepy, woman in reception dry, zero smile, hateful look

4.0 / 10.0

Alright place to stay. Rude staff.

Comfortable beds, big private rooms with fresh toilets, close to restaurants and scooter rentals.

The welcome was like coming to an actual prison, less friendly probably. Don't know what their deal was that day but they were really rude with a bad attitude towards us for no reason.. That really ruined the stay for us and they were rude at check out again so you know what? Here's a bad rating for you.

9.0 / 10.0

Loved this hostel

Comfortable beds and super clean bathrooms.

Not very good common room to socialise

5.0 / 10.0

Passable

Hang out area with hammocks. There is a bar next door which is loud until early hours but a good vibe - so bear that in mind when booking. Close to the pier therefore convenient for coming straight off of the ferry.

Big gap at bottom of door allowed any bugs inside. The room walls themselves could have been cleaner.

10.0 / 10.0

Exceptional

Great location. I stayed in the private room for 10 days and it was amazing. Come here often, great staff always wanna help with everything.

Nothing to complain in Thailand overal. Its Thailand.

7.0 / 10.0

Good

great facilities! clean and comfortable and nearby to some great food places, central town, the pier, as well as en route to some beautiful beaches.

right next door to an awesome bar/hangout spot on the island called Baby Rasta - recommend! but if you’re after decent sleep, they play super loud tunes into the early morning and ear plugs don’t block it out… good to keep in mind when you book :)

10.0 / 10.0

Exceptional

Clean, kind staff. Good location near the pier ❣️

1.0 / 10.0

Bad

there was air conditioning in the rooms

had absolutely horrible sleep quality all the nights that I stayed here, not only because of the loud bar music that goes on until 1AM (which they do warn us about it before paying), but also the lack of curtains (which we were not warned about) that essentially means any light from either the person next to you in the room, or outside, can come through and disturb your sleep. So I was never able to sleep before 1AM (because of the bar music) and I was always waking up at 6 AM when the sun rose, because there were no curtains to block the light coming in through the doors. Doesn’t help that the door is a sliding glass door that lets in lots of sunlight.

8.0 / 10.0

lovely stay :)

very nice hostel, very nice staff and good facilities :)))

7.0 / 10.0

Good for a short stay

There were plenty of showers and toilets and lockers. bring your own padlock though. The staff was very friendly and they had a water dispenser.

We were missing a common area/games or any sort of hostel activity. The reggy bar next door is super nice and has great music. it’s just not so nice anymore if you want to sleep at night. Also our dorm did not have any windows ): The breakfast was very basic.

7.0 / 10.0

The staff were super friendly and helpful breakfast and coffee provided everyday even got checked in earlier Hostel also offers bike hire so not leaving a passport in a random shop

No privacy curtain and bar next door plays very loud music until 1am most nights

Close to the pier

Not very social as it's not a very good hangout area.

8.0 / 10.0

Good value for money

Comfortable dorm room, nice and clean. Staff were lovely and helpful. Location is useful, close to the pier.

The bottom bunk bed had a safety bar along the side for kids, but it was pretty annoying and I kept hitting off it. Bar next door playing the same playlist each night until 1am.

7.0 / 10.0

Good

it’s close to the pier very clean

too noisy at night with the bar next door beds are also very close to each other so curtains would be great
