A hostel built by divers

Buddha View Hostel is the newest chapter of the Buddha View family, a name divers have trusted on Koh Tao for more than 25 years, with over 100,000 certifications behind it. We wanted a place where travelers could sleep comfortably, meet people, and step straight into the water, all without the noise of a party hostel.

Built to tread lightly

The whole building runs on solar power and filtered rainwater. Comfort that does not cost the island.

Calm, clean, social

We are not a resort and we are not a party. We are the quiet, spotless option, with a free coffee, a shared lounge, friendly dogs, and a dive centre on site. Our guests keep telling us it is the cleanest place they have stayed. We intend to keep it that way.
