No lockers for luggage. Not enough spaces to dry clothes and towels.

Great location next to the pier and a great sea view from the common area. Large capsules with dark curtains. Very clean.

The best thing about the hostel is the location - right by the sea - 5 mins walk and you could be in a beautiful spot where is a swing. Also Rajar at the reception was amazing. Helped me with anything I needed like arranging private taxi bike, booking snorkeling etc he was chilled an fun and that made the stay so great! P.s comfortable beds too!

Not enough showers, there's a rooftop bar on top which is really noisy, the blanket was too small.

The beds are really comfy the location is really close to the pier, there's a lot of restaurants and shops nearby.

I chose an air conditioned dorm room. The room itself is adequate, basic but nice. The air conditioning was only permitted for use however between 7pm and 10pm. The peak heat of the day is between 1-5pm so this meant that daytime use of the dorm room was impossible, for relaxing. This is the only major flaw of my time here. Air conditioning restrictions are common on Koh Tao but never as extreme as this was.

Staying at Scuba Square Hostel is a ‘no-brainer’. Best location, literally on the beach, housing a stunning sea-breeze from the common area seats and beanbags, but above all - the best vibes. Priceless. The staff here are abundant in kindness and chill. They will go above and beyond to accommodate any specified need or additional request. Rajar in particular is found to say ‘no problem, brother’ in the most warm way to any request little or large, and for me he epitomises the overall welcome found at Scuba Square Hostel. I found the fellow travellers here to be mainly divers and free spirits, very respectful and not a crowd who are up loud and partying. As a solo female traveller I felt not only safe but cosy and ‘at home’ amongst a tribe. On another practical level, the hostel is less than 100m from the pier which, on an island where there are few and very expensive taxis, will save you precious Baht on transport to and from your accommodation!!

good location friendly helpful staff. Bu don't go to their recommended bike rental (really bad experience)

Stayed in June 2025

Aircon in the room is only on 7pm-11am, and it gets reallyyy hot in the day that it's not possible to rest in the room in the day. But the staff are very nice and will help switch it on for short hours if you ask nicely. WiFi doesn't reach inside the dorm if you're in the further end of the rooms.

Great location right beside the pier. Around many cafes, restaurants, dive centres, and even a rooftop bar right above. And it faces the sunset right on the beach! Very helpful and friendly staff - at the reception and housekeeping. Bunks are very spacious and comfortable. Building seems newly built, so everything is in good condition and the staff keep it very clean. Part of Scuba Club dive center, so it's really easy to organize dives which depart and return right at the hostel.

The towels they “provide” for 250 baht deposit (they return 200) were dirty and smelly. The blankets were also not washed (we saw hair on them). There are no options to lock the rooms.

Location (close to pier, 7/11), pretty sunset views. The bathrooms were pretty clean.

I wish there were mirrors in the bathrooms, there is only one. it would be nice to have fans in the rooms as the ac is only turned on at certain times

A very good quality hostel, price and facilities are great, Raja was a friendly and welcoming as well as the other staff. Very happy about my stay here, it had a great veiw of the sunset and beach ⛱️ 🌅 Secluded bed pods with curtains so you can have you own privacy And they can tekk you and book scuba diving and boats to leave

Stayed in May 2025

They only provide a towel if you pay 50baht and they do not accept any card payments.

The hostel is right in front of the beach. The guy at the reception was absolutely amazing and assisted with the snorkel mask and have been very nice with me all the time. I highly recommend the place. Shower/ toilet areas always spotless clean.

Far away from Sairee, they turn off the ac during the day and overall the capsule beds are getting really hot.

Comfiest mattress from all I have stayed in Thailand, very clean, looks like a new building and is just at the beach & close to the pier. They have a lot of showers and toilets.

Stayed in March 2025

No light and no plug in your bed. No towel, no soap, etc… No locker Not clean, I’m okey to be barefoot but it has to be clean, then we go to bed with dirty feet…

The guy at the reception was really kind! The bed. The location.

There were open windows so there were a few mosquitoes in the bathroom.

Clean, nice bathroom, comfy bed, friendly staff.

The showers had no shelves and the floor was constantly wet.

Spacious and amazing views.

Hostel is brand new and not yet finished so half is still like a building site with workers working hammering, grinding, welding from 8am onwards. No hot water in the showers.

Location was good if you’re diving as it is right in the middle of all the company’s and a short walk from the main pier. 10mins taxi away to the more lively area of the island if you want more bars/restaurants. Mattress was comfortable in the shared dorm rooms with a curtain which gave you some privacy. Staff were really nice

Literally nothing, best hostel I’ve ever stayed at by far

I stayed there for 10days in total and I couldn’t recommend the place more. It’s cheap, amazing sea view and it’s just by the pier, so as soon as you arrive you don’t have to worry about getting a taxi. Mattresses are the most comfortable I’ve ever had in a hotel and you get a private pod. On top of that, it’s not a party hostel, so every night I slept very well, without anyone interrupting me. It’s very clean, during the day there is always someone cleaning the place. The staff is really nice as well. I recommended the place to my friends who stayed in a different hostel and they were all glad that they swaped. I’m coming back to Koh Tao in two weeks and I’m sure I’ll stay in the same place.

Super clean, 6 bed in one dorm with curtain, near to the beach. The staffs are friendly especially the receiptionist Guy was down to Earth. Love his vibe.

Even with aircon on the top row of beds was really hot to sleep in. The pillow had a scent of body odour. There was blood smeared above the men’s urinal

Good location, nice guy on the check in

Stayed in May 2025

-1 bad/slow wifi connection especially in room, had to use sim instead. -1 Aircon not on throughout the day -1 no shoe policy implementation doesn't make sense.. You will get your feet dirty in the hallways and go to bed like that. barefoot in the toilets? Disgusting. At least Provide slippers for the bathroom and/or inside. -1 no noise insulation, everything carries through the place. you will hear people walking and talking in the hallway. The cleaning stuff at 8 in the morning. Construction drilling at 9 am. Small stuff already needs repair. Missing shower knob. Broken door latch in the room.

Location close to harbour. Bed comfy, curtains, enough sockets. Light switch at bed entry. The guy checking me in was very nice and professional.
