Taco Shack Diving Hostel & Restaurant

Great vibe, yummy tacos for a decent price. It is a bit of a hike from the main road but nothing too bad. Cleaners came in every day and organized our beds, cleaned off the sand. Would be a perfect hostel if it weren’t for the fact that they don’t offer free water.

The staff were absolutely amazing. The rooms were a bit run down and so was the bathroom. Location was a bit far out and about a 15 min walk to sairee beach.

Amazing diving school, highly recommend the open water course. Rooms were good but there is a bit of a smell in the bathrooms that doesn’t go away. Restaurant food was also good and not overpriced

Perfect place to get scuba certified! Nice people and lots of common areas.

War super

Loved this hostel so much! Good vibes, good facilities and spacious rooms!

Bel Hostel, à 10-15 minutes de la plage et de la vie nocturne. Personnel très sympa, belle terrasse ombragée et fleurie. Seul bémol : le bar était très cher pour un hostel et pas de bidon d’eau pour remplir les gourdes !

Really good location and generally social hostel! Only problem was that the showers smelled and weren’t very clean

The staff is super nice and the rooms offer what they promise. They’re simple but spacious and the beds are comfy. However, the layout is not ideal since the sink is in the bedroom itself and when you come home late you kinda have to brush your teeth and wash your face in the dark. Unfortunately, the bathroom smelled so extremely of sewage, that I only went in there once a day to take a shower, and used the common toilets in the basement instead. Other than that i’d definitely recommen...

The perfect place to stay if you want to get your diving certification. Booked with them at check in for the next day and it was super easy. You also get three nights free which is nice. The diving was great, felt incredibly safe the whole time and had the most amazing instructor. Also nice because it's mostly people from the hostel so easy to make friends. Apart from the diving, very social, easy to meet people, and the tacos/burritos are really good

lovely hostel and would recommend. However the only issue is that the ensuite bathroom is an issue because there is only 1 for the whole room. Also there is no water dispenser which is diabolical!!!

Het hostel zit op een hele fijne plek! Je bent heel snel in het centrum. De kamers zien er niet super mooi uit maar de bedden liggen lekker en de douche is heerlijk ruim!

Really nice space and diving school is great as well as staff. Rooms were dark and dingy and a bit cell like. Didn’t like the curtains and was happy to leave after five nights

Horrible, the bathroom smelled disgusting. There was no soap or shampoo the entire time I was there. And the truth is, they didn't clean the room properly because there was a lot of sand on the floor the whole time I was there. The power went out two days in a row, so there was no AC for quite a while and it was difficult to rest. The good thing about the hostel was the common area, and some of the people who worked there were very willing to help.

Loved this place, the Staff are amazing and host activities every night. Location is 5 min walk from the main strip so it’s quiet but most people are hanging out in the common area until 11 so it’s easy to find people to go out with. They also offer great Diving there, most people including myself extended to do the open water course and loved it. Already missing the vibes here! Would recommend to anyone staying on Koh Tao!

Good location and near a lot of nice restaurants. The hostel itself and the common areas are very nice but the room absolutely stank of drains and sewage. Also one bathroom for 6 people, basic rooms, shower didn’t drain at all, and I got locked in the bathroom for 40 minutes the first day. The staff were helpful and eventually got me out but the facilities are what lets the hostel down really. Other than that it’s lovely and has a great bar/restaurant.

Great hostel great location, great food aswell. Nice balance between being social and being chill.

I loved my stay here — extended after my dive! Perfect place to get your dive cert as well. Social in the evenings, beds are comfy, bathrooms are very nice for hostels out here. I really enjoyed my time here!

Great hostel, the vibe, the people, the staff and facilities are all great. It has a social atmosphere but also doesn’t feel forced. Would definitely come back here if I’m visiting Koh Tao again.

Loved my stay here !! Would of extended if there was space Lovely communal area Bedrooms clean Ideal location not too far from the beach
