Location & what to see
Buddha View Hostel is in Mae Haad, the village at Ko Tao's ferry pier and the island's main arrival point, in the Gulf of Thailand. The ferry terminal is close by, so the boat is never far when you arrive or leave. The evening life of Sairee is a short walk away, and the village has dive shops, cafés and small shops along its main lanes.
Haad Ao Mae beach is 450 m away, and Sairee Beach, the island's main beach strip, is 800 m from the hostel. Koh Nang Yuan, a small islet with a viewpoint, lies 4.1 km away and is reached by boat, while the viewpoint over Sairee beach and Koh Nang Yuan is 1.4 km away. Sai Nuan Beach is 1.5 km away, and a turtle monument stands close by.
Ko Tao is small, and most of its beaches are a walk or a short ride apart. Diving is one of the island's main attractions, and a good day out from the hostel is a boat trip to Koh Nang Yuan with a walk up to the viewpoint. Rough sea can stop boat trips at certain times of the year, so it is worth keeping the day flexible.
What guests say
Travellers rate the location and the value for money most highly, both at 9.0, with cleanliness close behind at 8.9. The hostel also scores well for its facilities.
