The Dearly Koh Tao Hostel
1.0 star property
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (5)
"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."

"I stayed in the dorm closest to reception for 1 night with late checkout. Staff were very helpful and understanding, thankfully with a very good level of English too! Food is okay, maybe a little pricey compared to other places, but live acoustic music outside every night. 3 for 2 cocktails makes it worth it if doing rounds with 2 friends! Overall a good stay! Thankyou :)"

"I booked the single room with fan and access to public bathrooms. It was a relaxed guesthouse with a handful of other travelers. Free coffee was nice. The price and location were great. Only negative was the heat in the rooms during the day! I’m sure the rooms with A/C were better. But anyways, thas why you go to the beach :) The gueshouse offers plenty of amenities too. Cheap food, bike rentals, and tour information. Lovely staff overall! And a friendly dog too."

How can I get cheap hotels in Koh Tao?

Best tips to find a cheap hotel in Koh Tao

  1. If you're looking to travel to Koh Tao on a budget, you'll be happy to know that you can find hotels for as low as $13. Of course, that price is affected by amenities, star rating, and even the time of year you visit. At most, hotel prices can be as high as $69. Staying a short amount of time in Koh Tao is an effective way to reduce hotel costs.

  2. When you cut your vacation down to just a few days, you don't have to worry as much about hotel prices since you don't have that many nights to stay. For budget hotels in Koh Tao, 3 to 4 days should be all the nights you need. That's generally enough to enjoy the city's top attractions, though there's certainly enough to do to warrant a week-long trip.

  3. When booking cheap hotel rooms in Koh Tao, it's typically best to book about 3 weeks in advance. Book further in advance than that and you could be paying too much for your room, as hotels will often overestimate future demand. However, if you wait too long, you might find that the hotel has been completely booked.

  4. When you utilize search filters on Expedia, you'll be able to narrow down your results in a flash. These search filters cover a wide variety of factors you may be interested in when it comes to finding a cheap hotel in Koh Tao, including amenities such as Free Breakfast, 2-star rating, or proximity to local attractions. You can even set filters for price limits to ensure that all the displayed results are within your budget.
