                Comfy and relaxed stay ”

                It was absolutely beautiful staying at Bed and Ink. It’s super laid back, relaxed, the staff is looking after you, knows you by name and it’s super clean, too. I enjoyed my stay, could have stayed there easily one more week. I actually was kinda sad to leave after 4 nights. Would definetely come back there!

                Unique and lively place to meet new people”

                Being far beyond the average age group I was warmely welcomed and felt comfortably integrated in the social activities. All the recommendations for tours etc. turned out to be best value for money. They even manage to integrate two pigs into the daily hostellive which is amazing and changed my attitude towards these animals. And there is a nice Pool to use without limitation time. They really want to make everybody happy. I loved it so much, that I extended.

                Best hostel in Koh Tao! ”

                I was only meant to be there a couple of night but ended up staying over a week, all staff are incredible and helped with advice on when to see turtles at Shark Bay which I got to see on the last day. The hostel is clean, friendly and very chilled, but very social at the same time. Would 100% come back when I next come to Koh Tao and will be telling everyone to stay there as well!

                Great social hostel, with an awesome crew! ”

                Bed and Ink is a great hostel in Ko Tao. It’s very close to the pier, only a 5 minutes walk. The crew of the hostel is great and they are very friendly and helpful! The rooms and beds in the hostel are clean and really cool (I loved the airconditioning). Even the beds are made up every day: great service!!! You can store you luggage in locker on the hallway. Definitely visit Bed and Ink if you looking for an social, but quite hostel after 23:00 hours. The organize al lot of social activity’s such as a bbq, were you definitely meet new people.

                Mostly great with some caveats”

                I'll start with the good: super social hostel with friendly staff. They organized a Christmas dinner and even prizes for those that participated. The location was solid as well near the pier (if that's what you want) with loads of restaurants and shops nearby. Now the caveats: - the pig is a bit of an issue. He looks severely overweight and struggles to move around. During the day he sleeps between in the area between the bathroom, stairs and lockers. Having to navigate around him while he was sleeping made me uncomfortable. One morning he was sleeping right against my locker, luckily I didn't need to use it that day. - It being a social hostel and it also doubling as a bar, it can get loud. If you're planning on doing a lot of diving or early mornings, this might not be the place for you. While they do shut down the bar at 10:30ish, other guests might not be as accommodating talking/drinking in the common area until the late hours. I was unlucky to be in the dorm right behind the bar/common area so this was common for me. A dorm on the second level is likely quieter and more chill.

                Stayed here for 5 nights. Excellent location if you're looking for somewhere close to the pier, otherwise 25 minute walk to Sairee Beach. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Shower in the dorm happened to have very weak pressure, so we were advised to use the washrooms on the ground level instead. Dorm beds were comfy.

                I went to this hostel couple days ago, it seems cool at the beginning. There was a big pig and also a small one which is cool. But 5 minutes after I arrived the bigger pig bite so bad a woman. She had a deep wound. I wander why you keep a pig that bites customers ??? And apparently it was not the first time. Then, my friend and I decided to rent a scooter with the hostel because we were trusting them. First of all, we took a clear video of the bike before using it. Then, when we return it, they asked 1000 baht telling us we had scratch the pipe. We had no accident and the scratch was there before, we could saw it on the video. But they said video is not okay and on their picture we could not see it. But it could be another bike on the photos. So we went to the guy of the hostel so he can help us. But he didn’t and just say we have to pay. So neveragain I will trust this hostel !!. Even if you have picture, they don’t care, only theirs pictures works apparently.

                The bathrooms were never cleaned in my room and the toilet broke the first day I arrived. No toilet paper in the bathrooms, and the beds are incredibly uncomfortable. The staff was nice but not very helpful in booking things. I’m not sure why it is so expensive when nothing is included such as towels or breakfast.

                Filthy!”

                The hostel looks cool and modern in the phots, but in reality it’s filthy. I had booked three nights but only stayed for one (and they wouldn’t give me my money back for the nights I wasn’t staying!). The room was disgusting, the bed was rock hard, my blanket smelled of sewerage and the aircon was only allowed to be turned on after 6pm, so the rooms were very hot. The bathrooms were absolutely filthy, with the shower, toilet and sink all in one tiny room with no drainage and the toilet leaking all over the floor. The lockers were outside the room which was really annoying. The ‘bar’ was actually the reception desk, which only fit about 4 people around it, so I couldn’t even sit and enjoy a drink. I’ve been to hostels all over the world, and this is the first time I’ve left a place early! Honestly, avoid this place, it was filthy and felt unsafe!

However, the staff made were the main reason I loved my time in Koh Tao. They were incredibly fun and friendly. They would also go out of their way and give many recommendations just to ensure you enjoyed your stay.

                I really enjoyed my stay here. I arrived planning to stay just one night and then heading nearer Sairee Beach, but then I booked with a diving center 2 mins walk from Bed & Ink and decided to stay for other 5 nights. I liked the open and chilled atmosphere. The owner is great, really helpful and genuinely kind, the beds are large and comfortable, bathrooms too (both inside the dorm and outside). It's near the pier, but we managed to walk until Sairee without problems. The only problem was a little bit of smell in the bathroom from time to time, but bearable.

                This hostel was so perfect for someone that didn't want to walk very far from the port upon arriving. The facilities were decent, but I wish that the bathrooms were better equipped. The hostel's pet pig was the cutest thing ever and I loved watching & playing with it! The staff was very friendly and helped with booking a scuba course. There is no breakfast included. There is a place to rent motorbikes right across the street which allowed me to explore the rest of the island easily. The bunk beds are super close together in the rooms which was a bit odd but it wasn't bad. Overall I enjoyed my stay here.

The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, the dorms were clean and comfortable, and the location is about 30 seconds away from the beach. There are lots of cafes and restaurants nearby, so there’s always options for food and drinks close. Can’t recommend this hostel enough, it felt like a second home during my stay
