Savage Hostel Koh Tao

The pool area was great and had really nice beds to lounge on. There was also a free bbq on one of the days which was a lovely touch. So close to the beach and surrounding bars/restaurants. Also close to a 7/11. The whole hostel had a very modern feel to it. Would’ve stayed longer if they had availability and would definitely return.

Location was great. Bed was very comfortable. Staff were usually pleasant.

Private room smell from bathroom was bothersome. I was told this is life on the island and nothing could be done about it. Keeping the bathroom door closed helped.

Loved the location

The taxi ride to the location was a bad first start - it’s either a 2km walk or a 400THB taxi in extensive heat

Great location, although the island allows you to stay almost anywhere and then get around easily by scooter. The staff is kind and the welcome kit is very well prepared.

However, as mentioned in other reviews, the room is really, really small and above all poorly organized. There is no wardrobe, coat rack, or shelf placed in a useful and convenient way. The bathroom is tiny, with the shower above the sink, which forces anyone showering to flood the whole space. There is also an incredible smell coming from the bathroom drains, and since the room is so small it quickly fills with this unpleasant odor that lingers all the time. It’s a shame, because the place is nice, but it is really poorly designed and managed in this respect. We definitely won’t come back.
