KO Hostel Kenting 返璞歸真 墾丁背包客棧

The hostel was intimate yet lively, the beds were comfortable and I liked how there were curtains for privacy. The common room was spacious and the showers were always clean.

The capsules got very warm at times, and there weren't enough bathrooms for the amount of guests.

Well located, just a very short walk from the night market and a little further to the beaches. Well connected by bus routes. Rooms were nice, air conditioned with good “pods” to sleep in. Outlet and light provided in the bed. Shower/bathroom was very clean, so was the social area. Free tea, coffee and water which was a nice touch. Staff were also incredibly friendly and were more than happy to help us out when trying to figure out out next travel steps.

Mattress was on the thinner side, however far from a deal breaker.

The balcony was nice and it was easy to make friends with other travellers. The stay was very relaxing. It was close to the beach and the main stores. They can help you book activities and rent bikes and scooters. Very friendly staff and cute decoration.

There was a cockroach in the dormitory bathroom. It probably came from outside, but just a reminder to always to never leave your luggage open. Otherwise it was quite clean! Also just a notice that you cannot swim at the beach right in front of the hostel because of the current! But there are other beaches that you can swim in if you a rent a bike or scooter.

Very good location, close to the bus stop, main street, beach, they help with motorbike rental which makes it all easy.

To be honest this was rather an average hostel experience, probably the worst one we stayed in across entire Taiwan trip. No natural light in the room, 1 shower and toilet for 8 people, without AC there was no air in the room, but AC itself was pretty loud so you can choose. But it was cheap so for youngsters who doesn’t care much this can be a good option.
