Simple and great if you’re a backpacker or if it’s just for 1 night.

It was close to everything and the staff where lovely.

If you don’t want to party it was very loud until 10pm and the air con wasn’t overly strong but all the noise stopped at 10pm which we appreciated.

8.0 / 10.0

Easy access from the pier.

Easy location from the pier, although not straight forward to find, signage could be better. Beds comfy.

Signage could be better to find the place. Easy check in and out, despite it being new years.

7.0 / 10.0

Good location, good bed room with aircon

Nice and quiet location, in the quiet part of the island. Room size was correct, aircon was working well, even if we did not put it all the time. Bed was large and very confortable. Walking distance from the pier no need for a taxi to carry your luggage.

5% 'bank fee' when paying by visa card. That was not informed on booking page, all others services on the island we pay by card were at 3% bank fees. I had to ask several time to have an invoice inclusive of the 5% additional charges to finally get it, this is not acceptable behavior Toilet was smelling sewage, ants in the room, and on the small terrasse, rusty chicken wire was falling from the roof, that can bring tetanus, a serious disease if enjured by those needle size rusty chicken wire fragment.

2.0 / 10.0

Great location, but major cleanliness issues

We stayed at this hostel for a week. The location was perfect — right next to the port and ideal for us since we were doing our Open Water course with Puravida (best experience ever!).

Unfortunately, there were several downsides. From the very first night, we suspected our beds might have been infested with bed bugs — every morning my friends and I woke up with clusters of bites. The staff were quick to move us to another room, which we appreciated, but the problem continued. At first, we thought they were mosquito bites, but there were no mosquitoes in the room, and the bites always appeared in the morning. The issue completely disappeared once we changed hostels, confirming it wasn’t mosquitoes. I really hate leaving a negative review, but we ended up sleeping poorly because of this issue. On top of that, the tables in the rooms were full of ants, and there was no daily cleaning — our room was never cleaned during the entire week.

This was a great place to stay. Went for two days ended up saying six.

3.0 / 10.0

Frustrating stay due to poor internet connection and staff wasn’t super friendly

Location is quite central in the island. The vibe within the hotel with divers was good

This hotel was supposed to have good WiFi, that was the reason why I booked two nights as I had to work. Yet the WiFi connectivity was very poor which truly frustrated me. Also I have to say , the staff wasn’t as friendly as in other hotels

9.0 / 10.0

Great location, easy walk to anything

Location is great, it has a pool, doesn't get too noisy. Staff are friendly and the room was a decent size. Great value for money I thought.

The pillows are insanely big and not in a good way. My bathroom didn't drain well so didn't smell the best, but they had a deodorizer thing I moved into there and that largely solved problem.

8.0 / 10.0

A sensible hostel for someone looking to do 3 day diving course

Pool, social events organised by the hostel, close to everything, bed and bathroom pretty good!

Staff were nice but had a weird vibe, they didn’t seem bothered about making me welcome after I turned down the 3-day diving course

6.0 / 10.0

Buen ambiente para gente hispana

Good location, great Hispanic community, pool was very nice

Air conditioning worked but the cover of the unit was broken and the compressor made a quite loud low rumble noise. Cleanness was just ok (no cleaning during accommodation). Amenities and room is very bare minimum (no water bottle, no hair dryer, fridge, safe, hangers for clothing, etc)

9.0 / 10.0

Favourite hostel in Koh Tao

We loved this hostel, the staff are so friendly and will do anything for you (we are english so unsure why people have said they only interact with spanish guests or each other). The diving they provide is amazing, so dont miss out on that! The rooms are nice and clean. Perfect location for a good nights sleep but walking distance to restaurants and bars. It's a hostel, dont expect hotel grade rooms. We will definitely be back!

Bathroom was damp, so could have done with slightly better ventilation. Could do with a safe in the rooms.

8.0 / 10.0

Good hostel, super friendly staff

Super friendly staff, good pool, convenient location next to the pier. They were really nice with letting us leave our bags too.

Bathrooms were not really clean, but not too bad. Would stay here again.

5.0 / 10.0

Passable

The location is great.

The lady at the reception was more focused on playing a game on her phone than checking us in. The bedroom was very poor for the price and the bathroom was awful and not clean at all. Koh Tao is an amazing island, and I’ll definitely come back but I’ll not stay at this place again.

7.0 / 10.0

Easy location to the beach, good diving school could be cleaner.

Good diving training organised by the staff. Staff very helpful and kind Free water and fridge use.

bathrooms weren’t very clean lockers under the bed were very dusty and dirty and almost impossible to lock - badly designed leaking AC in the room utensils in the common area were very dirty all the staff were kind but mostly spoke in Spanish to each other so unless you speak Spanish it can feel a little awkward.

10.0 / 10.0

Exceptional

Snorkling tour, Diving, location for activities, close to many great food spots

It’s far from the main party scene of the island (Sairee Beach), very quiet so not right if you’re more into party

9.0 / 10.0

Very good!

The dive school is the best I've had in whole koh tao. I been diving with 3 different ones and Isla tortuga was the only one that had good equipment & Good safety standards. Whenever there was a problem the staff does everything to fix it. There is a social pizza night and bbq night which is lots of fun. I stayed for 1 week, very good place, if you ar into diving.

There are no curtains on the beds.

6.0 / 10.0

Too Spanish for Thailand

Location from the pier. Nice balcony with pool view.

It was 'too Spanish' for me, everyone sitting in the social group outside was speaking Spanish. Didn't feel included because of this. Room wasn't really clean and AC didn't get cold. So I didn't sleep very well. The room is quiet small for 4 beds. Pool didn't get it because it looked too dirty.

9.0 / 10.0

Superb

Great location and friendly staff, nice, clean rooms too! Nice outdoor seating area with a bar and pool!

Not really a dislike, but the ladders up to bunks seemed really high (but maybe I'm just too short haha)

9.0 / 10.0

Superb

the staff is really friendly and make you feel at home. it’s great especially if you are traveling alone. the bbq night was really cool and also very good food!

it’s a little bit further away from the busy area, but you can still walk

8.0 / 10.0

A lovely stay with a homey feel to it.

Isla Tortuga is a really nice hostel to stay on Koh Tao. The staff is super nice and helpful. It’s great to have a balcony in the room. The beds are quite soft for Thai standards.

The beds don’t have curtains so not that much privacy. They are located next to the pier, there’s a lot of restaurants in the area but Sairee beach is a 10 minute walk. For me this wasn’t a problem but if you don’t feel like walking maybe find something closer.

9.0 / 10.0

We loved it!

We felt really at home at this hostel, very very nice staff! The diving school is awesome as well. Would recommend it to everyone if you want to go diving on Koh Tao! The private room felt like a hotel room and the pool is great.

Bathroom is outdated.

10.0 / 10.0

Loved it - good to socialize and at the same time perfect to chill

Amazing hostel! I wanted to stay for 3 nights and extended to 9 nights. Advice: to it early enough, as it is quickly booked out - especially in the high season. The welcome was great, when I had problems with my AC they helped me directly and in the end I could even lend a laptop for a couple of days as I did not have mine with me. Can totally recommend this hostel to socialise with people (also I liked that a lot of people were older than 25 years)- do the pizza night and go out afterwards - and have at the same time nice quiet nights and a chilled time during the day! Muchas gracias por este gran tiempo!

9.0 / 10.0

Quiet place with the best bed ever

The most comfortable bed I had in Thailand! Very clean and nice room. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Great located next to the pier but a bit far away from Sairee Beach and the center. For diving it’s the best you can get, for just chilling and socializing it’s very calm.

10.0 / 10.0

Incredible stay

The double room itself is basic but has everything you need: good shower, comfy bed, AC and a nice porch. The staff are all incredibly nice and are super helpful in everything: arranging bus/boat for onward travel, getting a good scooter to explore the island (250 baht) and so much more. There's BBQ/Pizza nights and a very friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Best is the diving! They offer high quality PADI courses and trips to very good prices. We took courses and went on over 6 dives with them, every single one was amazing!

Great community!

The community in Isla Tortuga was just great. The staff made me feel really welcomed. They cheered me up when I was down, Mikey gave me a ride when he saw me walking and they invited me to a super fun Diving Master party even if I had already left the hostel. The accommodation was also really good. Totally recommend this place!
