The place is renovated. Everything looks nice and shiny. Location is good. It’s on the island, so everywhere is five minutes away from where you are. When you wake up you can have some tea and coffee. If you have any questions or need some help, Jesus is there to help you. Thank you for everything.

I stayed for 5 nights and had a wonderful experience. The location is perfect, just a short walk to the beach. The property is exceptionally clean, and the staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming. The complimentary breakfast is fantastic – everything I needed to start the day off right. If I ever find myself back on Koh Tao, I will definitely be staying here again!

I extended my stay here because I could not see myself going anywhere else (or even leaving the island, if I am being honest). Everything was perfect - from the location (not too close to the buzz, but not far either), the views (nothing beats having morning coffee overlooking the jungle or being minutes away from the beach to enjoy a fruit bowl), the cleanliness (unmatched how the space was kept clean), and even the perks (the daily transport to key spots was a top tier service). I have raved about this place to other backpackers interested in visiting Koh Tao and I don't think I will ever stop.

Outstanding! Amazing! Spectacular! There are so many positive things to say about this hostel. This place is honestly a home away from home. I booked 4 nights, ended up extending as per the wonderland experience. This place is very social and attracts the right kind of people. Dorms and common areas are always kept clean, with showers and toilet being separate which is always a plus. Very environmentally friendly with no single use plastic and seperate recycling bins. A big shout out to the wonderland crew, especially Melissa, the outings were awesome girl, volleyball was such a highlight. Team Wonderland xx

Blue Chitta was higlight of my 3 month travel. Everything is clean, bed is huge and comfy with a lot of storage place and hangers. Its not typical bunk bed. You have your separate bed. Everybody is chill and welcoming, completely different dorm vibe than I know. You get 200 THB for breakfast in Praha Café or you can choose morning meditation. I did yoga everyday and also freediving course here and honestly I didnt want to leave 😃

Looking for a hostel?

    Beds were comfy, the common area/restaurant is a great opportunity to meet people. The staff is international and very social and accommodating. The owner hosts weekly events like movie nights or bbq, even though it’s a social hostel it wasn’t loud at night. When i first arrived i was handed a towel and allowed to shower, even though I arrived way before my check-in. Daily cleaning of the dorms. Perfect hostel for backpackers or anyone who wants to meet new people!

    The owners as so lovely and so helpful. Beds were comfortable and clean and private. Facilities were great. Free tea and coffee and a fridge. Lovely little balcony area and in a great location, close to everything. Everything about this hostel is perfect. Safe and secure too with key fobs to enter the room.
