The hostel is perfect for someone who does not drive a scooter and does not have an issue with walking to see the beaches around. I love that there ar eonly 4 curtained beds in the room and the place smells ok and clean. Plus a breakfast! Staff is friendly and helpful. I’ve tried the other popular hostel close to it it but I prefer this place as a middle-aged woman and I do not really need a pool.

The White Jail Hostel is amazing in every way! The facilities are super high quality with comfortable beds, plenty of bathrooms and it is extra clean and nice. Most importantly, is the super friendly and helpful service provided by Yupar who runs the reception desk and the entire hostel. Yupar has a very positive vibe and can help you with any questions about your stay and about activities in beautiful Koh Tao. After traveling for over two months this was truly one of my favorite places to stay in one the most amazing destinations in the world. Highly recommend the White Jail Hostel

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Beds were comfy, the common area/restaurant is a great opportunity to meet people. The staff is international and very social and accommodating. The owner hosts weekly events like movie nights or bbq, even though it’s a social hostel it wasn’t loud at night. When i first arrived i was handed a towel and allowed to shower, even though I arrived way before my check-in. Daily cleaning of the dorms. Perfect hostel for backpackers or anyone who wants to meet new people!

    The owners as so lovely and so helpful. Beds were comfortable and clean and private. Facilities were great. Free tea and coffee and a fridge. Lovely little balcony area and in a great location, close to everything. Everything about this hostel is perfect. Safe and secure too with key fobs to enter the room.

    Best Hostel, a bit far from the Main City but you need a scooter anyway so it’s totally fine. Close to really nice beaches, Tanote Beach was my fav. The staff is fantastic and you can have fun nights playing Deisha-Thai-Pool, getting professional bamboo tattoos and have good&cheap cocktails or some weed (or both :D)!! The View is epic, you can see the whole Island and shouldn’t miss it. It’s often booked out (book early!) so there are always many people. Will definitely come back some day!
