Hotels in Koh Tao Island

We were here twice and both times got the back and food massage. Enjoyed both! The first time, the lady focused more on the back and the second time the lady focused more on the extremities, so it was a nice mix. I would definitely recommend this place if you want a good-priced massage! The ladies are all very nice there.

Had a very bad night at this establishment. AC not working properly, blowing out hot air, bed as hard as a rock, pillows thick and hard, hurt my neck and back and didn't sleep at all. I was also woken by the supernoisy AC despite wearing earplugs. Also the window door doesn't close sealed so hot air and noise comes in. However the location is perfect and the receptionist super nice. I do not reccommend...

Very good location, easy to travel, good service from everyone The room is good and worth the price. There is a restaurant opposite. There are drinks as well. It is a chain of hotels. Very delicious. I recommend it.

Lovely restaurant serving Thai food.Food is served quickly after ordering and very hot. Ate here 3 times during our stay at Koh Tao. Staff are lovely and welcoming Very good prices and would Highly recommend this restaurant Thank you so much 🙏🇹🇭❤️

Conveniently located not far from the port

A great place to stay in Koh Tao, close to the pier. The massages are excellent, and the food at the restaurant is delicious. The room is modern and convenient. I highly recommend it! Guillaume and Miu are wonderful hosts, very attentive. They helped us book our way back to Bangkok.

I’ve trained over the span of a month at Kaizen and got my Advanced free diving certification. I trained with Lana, Sergey, Akshay and Ilya during the time and I can just warmly recommend it. Besides PADI certification courses we also did fun dives, line and pool training as well as plenty of dry exercises and theory which helped me greatly to stay underwater longer, dive greater distances and go deeper...

I made my level 1 freediving course there and it was great. Some of the exercises were in the pool close to the center and the other not too far from the shore. The groups are very small, just 2-3 people. I was even alone with the instructor for the first 2 days. So I felt very safe and supported. I can only recommend it :)

I spent with Kaizen more than a year, coming as absolutely zero and becoming as a freediving instructor at the end. I have a lot of doubts during my courses, things that I don't have a talent or anything for this sport. But, what my instructors teach me - the most important is contagious trainings and this small steps that you do to become better! I can highly recommend Kaizen school and wish all newcomers...

If you’re looking for a freedive school that’s not too commercial and has passionate instructors, this is the place. I first came here 2 months ago for the Level 1 course but couldn’t pass the 10m dive because I had the flu. This time I came back for the retest, and Lana arranged everything perfectly. Big thanks to Ilia and Akshay for making it such a memorable experience. I went from not being able...

I just finished my free diving course. I used Kaizen as 2 different people recommended them, they were absolutely superb. Platon was my teacher, he has a lovely, calming demeanor and is just the best teacher, he always put me at easy and his way of teaching really resonated with me. They even worked around my schedule as I couldn’t do 3 days straight in a row. A well organised, thorough school, you...

I first visited Koh Tao in February 2022 for 4 days and started my freediving journey with Kaizen Freediving. I had such a great experience that I knew I had to come back. Recently, I spent two more months training with the instructors Lana, Sergey, and Platon, and once again had one of the best experiences in my life. As someone who had just learned how to swim, I was initially nervous about the...

Amazing hotel, our favourite hotel on our 2-month trip. You could tell that they had really thought about the small details, and about the things that visitors actually wanted. Nice style to the rooms very sound insulated, a 7-11 right across the road, the staff were lovely, and as an icing on the cake they have a sea eagle’s nest on the roof you can see with four sea eagles nesting. When we come back...

The hotel is tucked away in a wonderfully tropical setting, reminiscent of a manicured jungle. The reception staff were fantastic. They organized excursions and taxis for us and were always there for us. Our room was on the ground floor and quite dark. We didn't find the beds very comfortable (too soft and a bit saggy). The room and bathroom are simple but clean. Breakfast in the attached café was...

Accommodated to all our needs brilliantly, asked for decorations in the room as we were celebrating birthdays, they provided roses and balloons! The room was spotless every day and the shower was brilliant. A little fridge and water in bottles daily was very useful with the heat and the balcony was lovely to sit and chill in the afternoon! Would visit again!

An excellent compromise inland. This is our second time back to Ko Tao. Like the first time, we tried to stay at the same property overlooking the sea. Since everything was fully booked, we looked for an alternative inland location. We chose the Big Tree Boutique Hotel, and it turned out to be a good choice. Even though the property is located on one of the busiest roads on the island, it's quite quiet...

Decor and room-wise, very nice and well-equipped. Organic products and water management explained. Good. We stayed in the 2-bedroom duplex, very nice with a terrace. Friendly service. However, there was a big humidity problem in the attic room... our things "smelled" and we slept in damp sheets... meh. And especially the noise... the noise from the road and other guests. For the price paid, it's a...

We had a lovely time here. Polite staff. Great location. I forgot my watch at a nearby restaurant and the kind lady at the reception called them and I managed to find it. 😊 Really appreciate all the support in this matter. Totally recommend staying here. Overall top choice. 😊

Wonderful, peaceful, beautiful infinite pool, very beautiful villa with air conditioning, everything is perfect. The welcome is top-notch, the support and various aids are beyond reproach, and the meal delivery services are numerous, varied and fast. The maintenance of the villa and pool was daily, discreet and efficient. You cab easily walk to the center if ypu don't want to take your scooter by nite...

Absolutely fantastic place short walk or moped or taxi ride from the centre of sairee beach what an oasis private villa own pool fantastic views highly recommended Rent a scooter best place is on the cross roads as you come down the gill opposite a bar and in front of pharmacy and travel agency super helpful and good bikes 200bhat a day.

Koh Tao Heights Boutique Villas are absolutely amazing. We stayed in January last year & couldn't wait to revisit, so we did in Jan 2024! Villa Aristo: The journey to the villas from the pier is very easy as the will message you before to arrange for a driver to come & pick you up from outside of the pier. The view is beautiful, firstly looking over the jungle and then straight to the sea and the sky...

View and the pool The location was ideal about 10 min walk but we rented mopeds Staff were great and organised transfer and later check in

We had a wonderful stay at this property! Easy enough to get around if you are comfortable on a scooter!

I just had the most incredible time staying at Koh Tao Heights Boutique Villas in Koh Tao, Thailand! The villa itself was absolutely stunning. It's a perfect blend of traditional Thai charm and modern elegance. As soon as I stepped inside, I was greeted by a spacious and beautifully furnished living room, complete with air conditioning to escape the tropical heat. The attention to detail in the decor...

Lovely hostel. Booked this with scuba club koh tao and wasn’t sure what to expect. Its very reasonably priced for a hostel of great quality and comfort. This hostel has comfortable beds, spacious rooms, clean and enough bathrooms, good rootop with hammocks, water refill stations and lovely staff. What else can you ask for?

Five minute walk from the pier. We stayed in a private room. The room was big, had a lot of place for storage, chairs, big windows and a comfortable bed. The bathroom was spacious with warm water all of the time. The staff leaves water and toilet paper outside your door every day. There is even a shared rooftop with a nice sun set view. If you’re looking for a convenient spot that’s not in the center...

We stayed one night to experience Koh Tao. For one night totally fine. Room had everything you needed but was not really spacious. Service was nice as we came in spontaneously and still got a room very quick. Very close to the harbour.

The dorm was really clean, the beds were comfortable, the privacy was great, and there was a clothes drying rack on the small balcony :) They clean daily and changed the bedding every 4 days. (Careful not to leave important receipts out without taking a photo, they might get thrown out!) There is a huge amount of locked storage under the beds, excellent for my hiking backpack, carry-on backpack, and...

the privacy is great, you have your own cube where you can close the curtain.

Stayed in a couple of hostels while I was in Koh Tao and this was by far the best. The manager Teuan went great lengths to help me even with the smallest problems.

Hi. Its perfect stay if you like me or a couple. Apartment have AC witch is super important, strong shower flow. Outside big kitchen, i like to make food my self. Big size bed. Small terrace. Of course you need a scooter but its like everywhere on this island if you wanna see more. Very close to main street. Also very quiet

Beautiful little garden with nice cosy bungalows. It’s a little bit tricky to find, but any taxi driver will know where it is, and it’s only a 10 minute walk from the center of sairee. The manager will get you a motorbike if you want one. I really enjoyed my stay here, and would stay again if I visit Ko Tao again. The rooms are clean and comfortable, beds comfortable too. Bungalows have balconies that...

This hidden little gem is fantastic. The owner Claudio is such a great person who made our stay that much more enjoyable. He also owns La Pizzeria which serves the best pizza and pasta we have had in Thailand. It’s tucked away from all the loud night life of Sairee Beach. The bungalows are big and clean. Would 100% stay again :)

Nice quiet hotel/bungalow which is a 10-20 minutes walk from town and the beach. The room was clean and the bed comfortable. Selection of coffee and tea in the room along side a mini fridge and kettle. Ac was strong in the room and quite loud at night. Staff is friendly. Checking in is 11am, checkout 10am. If you are traveling by foot I think there are other places to stay that are comparable, ideally...

It's lovely, quiet and staff is absolutely helpful and super nice. It's clean though by being more in the hills, there's quite a few ants. But nothing too bad. Wifi is really good. Felt absolutely comfortable in my stay. However , I have to say it's a bit far. If you plan on renting a bike, then it's no problem. And for that guy that wrote in his review "those people complaining about how far it is...

If you're seriously considering diving in Koh Tao, it's best to book with The Miracle Guesthouse and Diving. Professional service, including in Polish, is provided by excellent instructors and support staff. Boats and all equipment are provided. We had an excellent diving experience.

Strongly recommend for backpackers- great location in Koh Tao which is easy to get to from pier. Easy to walk to all the nearby food and beaches- pleasant hosts too. Rooms slightly expensive however much better quality than most- also 7-11 right next door which is a bonus.

Warmly welcomed by friendly, caring helpful staff always available to assist and give advice on local activities and restaurants. Beautiful well maintained and air conditioned room cleaned daily. Service excellence. Highly recommended.

Staff were incredibly friendly and very helpful, location is great, right by the main pier, plenty of bars and restaurants nearby. Very comfortable room and lounge area

It's okay for stay in Koh Tao island 🏝️😀

The blanket is very thin but overall good, close to restaurants, clean room but no shuttle to the pier.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sairee Sairee. Great location and hospitality. Nook is the man to go to if you have any questions: extremely friendly and helpful. Loves Manchester United. Awesome dude. The hotel rooms are situated behind the restaurant (must try the pizza: very delicious). This helps to block out the noise coming from the main street. Also, there is a bike rental place directly...

The room is not small, has a balcony, and is very convenient for drying wetsuits. The location is not far from the beach. There are various restaurants, cafes, and DQ ice cream next to it. The interior hardware of the room is a bit unsatisfactory, and it's okay if the requirements are not high. If you have a baby, you will need an extra bed.

We stayed here for 4 nights. Very comfortable bed, good air con, and a balcony to dry your swim wear. Towels changed every second day, along with fresh bottles of water. Location is excellent, all the best bars and restaurants in Koh Tao on your doorstep, and 3 mins walk to the beach.

The attention from Mao, your manager, as well as the entire staff, has been excellent. They helped us rent a motorcycle without problems and at the best price. They left us a tube and goggles to snorkel. They treated us wonderfully and always with a smile. Located in a central location 200 meters from Sairee beach. In front, an Exchange office, a 7/11, a pharmacy, restaurants of all kinds around. It...

I think it is the best hostel ever. It’s very safe and cozy all staffs are friendly and helpful. You can book the diving package from the hotel. The breakfast is good one main course , bread , milk , pancakes and fruits. The toilet is very clean and the facilities are so good. There is a free shuttle bus for going to the beach randomly in each day if you want to go you can tell the staffs. The location...

I completed my Open Water course with Tan and had a fantastic time. I was a little nervous having never dived before, but Tan was a very reassuring, friendly and patient instructor and I felt very safe at all times. The Dearly is a great hostel - really social and laid back, with very good facilities and services like free shuttles every day and of course diving. I highly recommend it.

The staff there are all very nice, the place is clean and convenient for getting around. There’s also a motorbike rental shop nearby.

This guesthouse is pretty good. I liked that there's a lot of open space – the rooms open onto outdoor terraces and have balcony access. There's greenery all around, and you can barely hear any road noise. There's also a large hall on the first floor, and breakfast is included. The only downside is that the location is a bit far from the city center.

Hostel 10/10 ⭐ The hostel offers a lot of activities. There's a shuttle that takes you to the beach at 1:30 PM and picks you up at 4 PM. The beaches change every day, which is a nice touch. There's also a shuttle for sunset viewing at 5:30 PM, returning at 7 PM. Each floor has common areas, which I found to be very clean. The 6-person dorm room was spacious, exactly as pictured. Plus, there's a pool...

we liked everything, but the breakfast was so basic and not tasty:( also the way to the room was sooooo hard, like it takes solid 5 minutes to walk up all those stairs but the whole area is nice, they have a cool pool with an opportunity to learn how to dive. the territory of the hostel is also pretty nice, we enjoyed it

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The place is truly beautiful, very stylish, atmospheric, and thoughtfully designed. The views over the water are stunning and create a very relaxing feeling throughout the stay. Everything was clean and well maintained. Just nearby there is a small bay with a unique, quiet beach and incredibly clear water- a real hidden gem. The staff were very friendly and...

Absolutely amazing! This place is truly beautiful, super idyllic and perfectly located right on the beach. From the moment you arrive, you immediately feel relaxed and at home. The atmosphere is peaceful, special, and full of charm. The people are incredibly kind, warm, and welcoming, you can really feel how much love and care goes into this place. Such a cool location, perfect for switching off...

Stayed here for almost a week and I was so happy with everything. I was slightly concerned at first because the reviews were split and many people commented about it being an abandoned place HOWEVER I am glad I still decided to book a room here because staying at this hotel was my highlight in koh tao. And to make it clear, the place is not abandoned but they are simply rebuilding and bringing new...

I have been staying at this resort for a full month, and here is my honest review ➡️ This place is run by a small team of family and friends who are dedicating everything they have to the reconstruction of the site. Seeing their commitment is truly admirable.
The resort is not perfect, and that’s part of the story. You’ll see signs of past damage and nature reclaiming space, which only makes the work...

Good people , good vibes … amazing view from the Lobby / reception ( best Place to sit and Watch Boats)This Place is different , has a lot of character. Trin was kind and very helpfull. Bathrooms Are already new done but the rooms in all have still a way to Go to be restored (wich is ok if you Travel on low budget). Short Walk to the Center in 10 Minuten was totally Fine for us Even at Nights. If you...

My friends and I had an incredible stay at Charm Churee, I could not recommend it more. The reviews are correct that many of the rooms are 'abandoned' but the rooms that Trin (the host/owner) have restored are great and we had a wonderful stay. Trin was very attentive and helpful at every step of our stay and even had a private dinner cooked for us that we ate in the restored lobby overlooking the...

Thank you Savage Hostel!! Definitely one of the nicest hostels I’ve stayed in, super clean everywhere - including bathrooms!! Comfy bed, hot showers and free cold drinking water. Rooftop pool + bar nice to chill by. Staff were friendly and helpful if you need anything. Special shoutout to the hostel manager Rosie who was suuuuuuuper helpful in helping me find my passport haha. Would stay again!!

This is bar far the nicest hostel on the island. We are travellers in our mid 30’s and it was much better for us than the other hostels which are for much younger travellers. The suite room was stunning, I would 100% stay again.

Dedicated, attentive, and caring staff. Friendly welcome. Top location; close to the beach, shops, restaurants, and massage services. A 20-minute walk from the port. Be aware that if you take a taxi, they will drop you off a little further away; you have to walk the rest of the way. A taxi from the port costs 300 THB x 2 people. The room was very nice as we booked a 20m² luxury executive suite (the...

That's great... nice room, good bed, excellent mattress, linens and towels, the pool area with sea and mountain views, although it never gets very deep... the location, modern, clean and well-organized facilities, as well as convenient access with an electronic card, they offer some activities... Not convincing... the price is higher and breakfast isn't included, it lacks atmosphere, the showers are...

Good location, great pool area with views but there was little atmosphere, the bed area was very nice but the room was dark and cold, I ate there once and it didn't impress me much. Modern hostel but it lacks character, comfortable stay but I wouldn't return.

Great hostel. Location was amazing! Pool was fantastic and they have loads of activities to do. Really clean and overall great hostel. Caw was an amazing and so friendly. Helped us out so much and went above and beyond. Thank you so much, will be back.

Wondrous! Have just spent 4 nights in Villa Siam Villa 3. The Villa is magnificent, spacious, beautifully decorated and furnished. So much thought and attention given and very evident - from the gorgeous flower arrangements to the quality of the bed linen and more. The Villas are in a hill in the jungle - the views breathtaking. There is a free shuttle service to anywhere on the island. Justyn, Greg...

We spent 4 nights at the villa in November. Originally only booked for 3, but added an extra night. The villa was beautiful and the view was amazing. Nothing was too much trouble and we were so well looked after. Whilst the villa is a little off the beaten track, the driver took us anywhere we wanted to go when we wanted and we were picked up too. The weather was not great on one of the days and it...

A dream stay. Thank you so much for the most wonderful stay. When I walked into our apartment it brought tears to my eyes as never stayed somewhere so beautiful. Nothing was too much trouble. Justyna and Karin helped us so much. Recommending meals, trips etc. So easy to contact them via what’s app to arrange pick ups (which are complementary) every day to and from where we wanted to go. We loved...

Wow! Phandara villa's are a real luxury experience. From the moment we arrived we were blown away. The Villa was exactly like the pictures, only so much better in real life. We stayed for 3 nights in July. 2 adults and 2 children age 11 and 9. We would have stayed longer but the villa's were fully booked. The views and location are exceptional. We were greeted by our hosts Justyna Katin on...

As with most exceptional experiences; words and pictures simply don’t do it justice. You need to see for yourself. Phandara is one of those experiences. Justyna & Greg are phenomenal hosts, and go above and beyond in every way. We stayed in Villa Saam, and couldn’t have been happier. The views are unreal, the plunge pool is the perfect temperature for long dip, and the interior of the villa is modern...

We have recently stayed for 8 nights in villa number 3 and had a wonderful time. Firstly, thank you to the owners and their staff. Super friendly and helpful always had time for a chat and some advice on where to go and where to eat. The WhatsApp group that was set up was super helpful for any questions or requests. Also to the villas driver. The villa offers a shuttle service, which is invaluable...

We booked the box bed. The dorms are really clean, and the bathrooms are spacious and separate from the toilets. The location, though, is not the best. I would recommend staying somewhere closer to Sairee Beach if you want to go out.

It’s located right by the port. The rooms are quite comfortable, and it was nice to get fresh water and toilet paper every day — a simple but appreciated detail. The outdoor shower was great, and the staff were friendly and welcoming.

If booking the 10 bed dorm, expect it to be a 20 beds with an invisible wall claiming it's 2 separate rooms. It wouldn't have been an issue if we'd known at the time of booking. The curtain on the top bunk doesn't close due to the ladder on one side so I ended up having to make a makeshift curtain from the towel so everyone coming through the door couldn't look into my bunk. We were warned about...

I had a great stay here and kept extending as I liked it so much. The rooms are lovely and very cool which is perfect for the weather, the beds are comfortable and there’s lots of space for bags etc. Other facilities are good the bathrooms are spotless and designed well. The staff were a highlight being very friendly and helpful. The manager Gung is a lovely person who was great at recommendations...

Nice rooms. They should worry less about folding towels neatly and focus on hoovering or mopping the floors. The staff were very disinterested.

White Jail is our favorite Hostel! We stayed at a few other hostels on Koh Tao but White Jail was our favorite by far. It was very affordable- one of the less expensive hostels and it included breakfast. This was usually fresh fruit, bread with toppings, a whole tea/ coffee station, and these yummy fried dough things. This breakfast bar would be available a good portion of the day which was very generous...

It's very close to the beach and I met some pretty good friends.

The booking, on place is a bit unorganized and confusing,so it's better to book online. The staff is pretty friendly. There is a rooftop with lounges and hummocks, but without a fan (it can get a bit hot). Just 15m away there is a pool and a restaurant bar, what is good cause the beach isn't one of the best.

Budget option. Not the cleanest place we stayed for the price. Beds are pretty uncomfortable too. WiFi is slow when hostel is busy. Ac is great tho. Probably would stay somewhere else next time.

Great centrally located hostel, but on as quiet street. Feels small but a lot of people to hang out with. Free towels and comfy beds, very good value!

Pretty nice Hostel. Beds are really comfortable, Aircon works fine and the staff is pretty lovely and helped us out with every problem we had. Just the WiFi could work better, but nevermind. Price was totally alright as well, I would stay here definitely again!

Overall a good experience, the location is fantastic, just 2min from the beach and bars, but still in a quite calm street. I stayed in a 8 bed dorm, got a towel, fresh sheets and a personal locker with check-in. The facilities aren't great though, the shower and toilets sometimes quite dirt. But staff is really nice and helpful, 24/7 desk which is always nice. Could definitely recommend a stay there

Such a nice vibe this hostel has!!! I love it so much!

lovely stay, you pay for what you get and the staff were very friendly

This hostel is an amazing place to stay as the staff are really friendly and you will have plenty of chances to meet new people and make friends. There is also a bar adjoined to the hostel so you can sit and relax outside and get a couple of drinks as well. For those diving, you can also dry your stuff on the roof as there is space for that. You also can come and relax at the area outside. Overall...

It’s hard to describe this place in a review. First of all the location is just perfect. 7 min drive from Main pub street. 5 min walk from the ferry. 1min walk from 7/11. And if u need (I hope not) 2min walk from hospital. The host Tom was the best guy I ever met. He helped me with renting bikes (he has his own bikes to rent aswell) no need to pay in advance this guy works with trust. I crashed a moped...

This hostel and the people I met in it were the reason I stayed in Koh Tao for 3 weeks when I was only supposed to be there for one week. Pimpim, Tun, and Hima are the long-term staff that I came to know and they are all so amazing. Loft hostel was my home for a little while thanks to them and all the wonderful people I met in that hostel. Such a fun time.

The best hostel in Koh Tao. The staffs were nice and funny. The bed was clean and comfortable. xDD I will definitely stay again here. !!!

Lovely stay in a location that is conveniently close to shops, bars, food and the beach and water taxis. Staff were very helpful in sorting our taxi and in general, while the room and its balcony were spacious and comfortable. Thought a TV could’ve been a nice addition to the room and doors could’ve been a bit more sealed as we were joined by the odd lizard here and there. The pool table was also...

The loft-style decor of the coffee shop is ok, but the rooms look weird – they lack coziness. The room is very basic, nothing extra. A TV on the wall would definitely be nice (for this price), especially since the cables for it are provided. The bathroom door is just ridiculous) It's a screen, not a door. Distance from the beach is 10 minutes. Distance from the central streets is 5 minutes, but turning...

clean room, provided water everyday and also had a water dispenser in the cafe. balcony was big, great location, quiet and just out the way but close enough to all the restaurants. staff very polite

Really peaceful area and walking distance to night life... staff was very nice and I really enjoyed staying at this hotel. ..

Good nice budget hotel to stay. Owner and workers are nice and helpful.

Naked cement room No TV, and that's good. Who needs TV on vacay!!! ? Yummy egg Benedict ? Breakfast starts from 9-12!!! Ummmm a bit too late for me lol
