Located in Koh Tao, Closca Hostel Koh Tao features a shared lounge, terrace, bar, and free WiFi throughout the property. The property is around 7.3 km from Ao Muong, less than 1 km from Chalok Viewpoint and 1.9 km from Shark Island. The property is non-smoking and is set less than 1 km from Chalok Baan Kao Beach. Great hostel, chill atmosphere. A mix between social and quiet - you can easily be by yourself, or talk to people if you want. Good location, quiet area, walking distance to shops, restaurants and beaches (roads to beaches or viewpoints can get a little hilly without a scooter, but it was part of the fun for us!) Very nice common area on the balcony where we hung out every evening while enjoying a drink. Bathrooms, showers and floors were always super clean. Big, comfortable bunk beds with curtains for privacy. Good noise insulation in the walls. Breakfast available - toast with butter and jam, different variety of fruits each day and tea or coffee which you can enjoy each morning while listening to some jazz. Free drinking water. Very kind and helpful staff. Overall it was a great experience, would stay again!

Situated in Koh Tao, 1.5 km from Chalok Baan Kao Beach, Wonderland Jungle Hostel features accommodation with a shared lounge, free private parking, a terrace and a bar. The property is located 7.3 km from Ao Muong, 400 metres from Chalok Viewpoint and 2.4 km from Shark Island. The accommodation provides evening entertainment and a shared kitchen. Everything ... Where to start , a home away from home. This place felt like a safe haven in a world of chaos. From the staff to the guests to the Wonderful owners who brought Wonderland Into reality. If you are reading this I fear you will regret not booking a stay here. I came for 5 days on the first I already knew I wanted to extend. I made amazing friends who really elevated my experience here. I wish I could have stayed longer , it felt like a dream. Even the staff were once wonderland guests who loved it so much they didn't want to leave. That what happens you get sucked down the rabbit hole and don't really want to climb back up ! Only thing I can recommend is RENT A SCOOTER, it will just make the experience there a little more enjoyable as it is not a far distance from the beach but those hills in the heat will make you regret not paying 200baht/day for a scooter 😅 Thank you wonderland for giving me only but happiness. I wish to return very soon in the future ... Till we meet again.

Due to the location guests are pretty cool aswell. Although it helps having a bike people readily give lifts up and down the hill and it adds to the fun
