Summary of traveller reviews

Summer Hostel Koh Tao offers a friendly and social atmosphere, perfect for solo travellers looking to connect. Guests appreciate the helpful staff and the convenient location near shops and restaurants, though it's a short walk to the beach. Some recent reviews mention issues with cleanliness in bathrooms and a lack of privacy due to missing bed curtains.

Such a lovely place to stay! Staff are so lovely, rooms are amazing - spacious and so clean. It’s a short walk to the busy streets so very accessible but not loud which was perfect for us. Gym and huge store opposite which was very handy. Hired bikes and snorkels through the hostel, so easy. It doesn’t have a huge social aspect to it, so if looking for party, might not be best option but for fab rooms, amazing staff and fab location, I can’t recommend more!

Decent enough hostel. I didn’t find it particularly social though thats not on them. 10 minute walk from the main area, and nice cafes/restaurants nearby.

This was such a great value hostel with a really nice vibe and everything you need. The staff were fantastic at booking activities and the common area was perfect especially considering you can just buy food and drinks from the super market and enjoy them there. Free water was a nice bonus. Location is great!
