Feels like home”
The atmosphere is incredible at black wood! So heartwarming and open minded staff. But it rather feels like friends. The vibe there is super chill too and they are always up for chatting, especially lovely and 24/7 energetic Ann ;)) Though sometimes it might be a bit more difficult to understand her, but u just need to listen more carefully! The guy who wrote a negative review about Ann, was just very rude with her and she tried the best to help him with his ticket but from my point of view it was a miss understanding caused by language barrier and impatience. If u are in Koh Tao stay at black wood and if u don’t well than u clearly miss somewhere special!!! XOXO Paula

Great staff - Anne, plus the owner Prem 😉👍 Relaxed atmosphere during the day & good drinking/party in the evening 😉👍 The location is just off the main road, 5mins walk from the pier, so in quiet settings in a forest, with cheap cafes etc around 😉👍 Would stay here again 😉👍

Nice hostel close to pier area”
I really enjoyed my stay here. The location is only a few min walk from the pier where you arrive but still it is not too busy around because a private road leads to it which makes it feel more remote. The staff is lovely and will assist you if you need anything and in general they look after you very well to make sure you’re safe and happy and all :)

This place is a party hostel. Extremely friendly staff but if you want solitude and quite maybe go somewhere else. We came as a group for a friend's birthday so this place was perfect. It's a five minute walk from the dock as well so easy to get to if coming via boat.

Ok spot”
Ok for a night. I only slept a night there in a dorm, dorm itself was nice and clean. Only thing is the tap didn't work in the sink. Reception wasn't there most of the time so waited to for check-in but that's ok. Seems to be an after party place as well so bit of noise in eve.

I had booked to stay here and I turned up after trekking through in darkness to find the place to be told they had cancelled my booking due to no availability and I had been told by noone this. As I walked away the receptionist and other people staying there were laughing! I was horrified, they had absolute no care or compassion, 7:30pm as a solo traveller this was awful and I had to find last minute accommodation

Very very good place !”
Black Wood is the best place to stay in Koh Tao. The owner hosted “at least “ one activity in a day. It means that there are sometimes 2 or 3 activities. You can discover very detail through those activities. You can google “Black Wood” on Facebook. The location is very good. It is close to the main pier and Main Street. It is convenient for you to take early ferry.The equipment of snorkeling is free for using. It is new hostel. The price is also good. It is good place more than l expect.l stayed one more night in Black Wood. You cannot miss Black Wood if you want to have a wonderful memory in koh Tao.

Cheap, clean and comfy with a top host!”
Stayed in Black Wood with a friend two nights ago. Was pleasantly greeted by a local who had good English and supplied us with plenty of advice and recommendations by writing and circling out things on a map, which he then gave to us. Later that night we asked him which was the best way to grab a taxi to the bars, and he voluteered to give us a lift free of charge. If we didn't have our scuba diving course already booked, which includes accommodation, we would still be there now!
