The Dearly Koh Tao Hostel-Padi 5 Star Dive Resort

good breakfast, cool common areas, but the staff was very unpleasant and unfriendly

Hostel conditions are good, staff are friendly and informative. Location is a little far from the centre if you are not willing to rent a bike. Some beds are very exposed and would be much better if they had a curtain. Overall, a pleasant stay.

Perfect hostel! Has everything you need!

Everything is good 👍🏻😊

This hostel was great. Unfortunately I had a lot of insects in the room that was cleared up. But when I asked about the Lizard they said nothing they can do. Staff are normally very friendly and helpful otherwise. On leaving I wasn't asked how my stay was or given a goodbye

โฮสเทลดีมากค่ะ สะอาดบบรรยากาศดี อาหารเช้าอร่อยค่อนข้าฃหลากหลาย พนักงานน่ารักบริการดี ห้องน้ำสะอาดมาก

One of my favourite places I stayed while in Thailand for a month. Very clean and I loved my private room with the balcony. Great breakfast and the free beach shuttle was great. I did get woken up by nearby cockerels every morning but I didn't mind. The hostel didn't have a social vibe while I was there but I think that was more down to the people who were staying there at the time.

We had a great time at the Dearly Hostel. The staff are very accomodating, assisting us with booking taxis, fishing tours and scooters. We booked a four bed dorm which had strong AC and a decent balcony. another highlight of this hostel was the pool which has deeper sections for learning to dive. Definitely recommend this hostel if you are planning a trip to Koh Tao!

The staff were absolutely amazing and super friendly, check-in was super easy and within no time we were in our room. They also helped us with recommendations on lunch/dinner spot and motorcycle rental. You can also book transport to and from the ferry jetty through them. The room was really spacious and had a nice big reading nook (which kind of was an extra single bed) next to the window. It was very clean and lots of natural light came in through the large windows. Toilet was separate from the shower in our private room which is always nice. The breakfast was great, especially for the private room as you'll get to chose an extra fancy breakfast that gets made fresh for you. Highly recommend the muesli bowl it was full of seasonal fruits and a delicious way to start the day! The only thing I'd say is a slight negative for the Dearly is it's location. It's on the south side of the island and because of that a 10/15 min motorcycle drive away from the main town on Koh Tao. So if you're planning on going out at night in town and don't want to drive back drunk you'll have to organise a taxi (you might be able to do this through the hotel I don't know so maybe check with them).
