    Although the staff were really nice and welcoming at the beginning, (I guess) as soon as it became clear I dont want to dive, as I just already did the day before, I felt ignored afterwards. I also asked for glasses to borrow for an hour to go snorkeling they said they dont have? Also the bathroom is quite run-down, the rooms are not the newest either. Furthermore, its not the best place to socialise, the common area was empty after 8pm whenever I checked.

    The location is great and quiet

    No hot water for showers. Top bunk bed was so hot (I don’t know if it’s because it was the top) but the aircon in the room was perfect, just didn’t get to the top beds

    Nice to have your “capsule” room. The common space is big.

    I believe in the bathroom area they definitely need more hangers. They are not enough when capacity reaches to full. Wet clothes remain there and there when everybody hangs their tovels and other items at the same time

    Well decorated Diving boat is spacious compared to the other ones in the island Instructors are great

    Can't pay on card which was annoying. The lockers were tiny, as in same size as my foot tiny, (photo provided to show I'm not exaggerating 😂) luckily everyone in my dormitory was sound, but I can imagine that is not always the case. There is also no window, which is a shame. I am not sure that the pictures reflect how the dormitories look, but they are not bad, I just think the pictures might be outdated. Wasn't very social, I think it's because there wasn't really a social area for the hostel guest, except for the really nice diving shop, it looks like it was made over by Queer Guy. But seriously if I didn't already have my dive certs I would probably have got them here, they seem really nice and passionate about it, and safety, they even stopped one girl diving because of problems she was having with her ears, I thought that was really good.

    Comfortable beds, quiet to sleep, towels and shower gel provided. All the staff were so nice and friendly. Dormitories were quite large, and ensuite. Free water refills, hot and cold. If you are here to dive, I think you can't go wrong with this hostel, it's probably the nicest dive shop dormitory in Koh Tao.

    The bed sheet is not clean enough and makes me itchy. actually, I have been seeing the staff clean the bed after the customer left, and the bed sheet has no change. the curtain was closed all day and made the room dark.

    The location where is located on the main street and is super easy to find. The front staff looked friendly and always show me a smile.

    I didn’t love the rooms. They could be updated and cleaned better. Bathrooms were really not ok. I did have a major issue with my bed which was in fact immediately resolved although I chose to leave earlier than planned. While I thought I was getting my value for money with the diving course there are certainly better deals available locally.

    The staff was just the best. Fantastic vibe, everyone is so helpful, accommodating and always there for you. The atmosphere was honestly 11/10

    To consider with their diving packages

    Not negative but the hostel veeeery heavily caters towards Spanish tourists. Location is not the best: it’s halfway between Sairee and the Pier but not super close to either.

    Staff was very accommodating. Had an issue with withdrawing money and they allowed me to pay later. They offer diving packages that many seem to enjoy although I did find significantly cheaper elsewhere despite their guest promotion. Common areas seem like nice chill spots.

    If you are not diving don’t stay there. Not social or inclusive at all compare to other hostels in the island that also have a diving company. besides that is a good hostel if you are looking to do any of the diving certifications

    Lights in the dorm needs updating as way too dark, had to use my touch on my phone the whole time to see what I was doing. Pods and the bathroom could be cleaner. The bar staff were coming in an out the dorm throughout the night slamming the door (not sure if they were volunteers).

    Good location and close to the pier.
