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.

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!

Summer Hostel is a gem amongst the hostel scene in Koh Tao. The staff are super helpful and friendly, and the atmosphere is very social without being party. I stayed in the AC dorm which had comfy beds with wrap-around curtains and large lockers per person. Showers were hot too, albeit not the strongest pressure, but this is expected on an island. The cafe next door is awesome as well! Overall, I’m very happy I stayed here and hope to return soon. I can 100% recommend this to solo travellers.
