We stayed here for 4 nights while doing our diving course and were so sad to leave! Rooms are clean and have everything you need. It’s central but still in a calm area. If you plan on renting a scooter I recommend you do it at the accomodation, the owner Bill is so nice and helpful.

Loved the jasmine trees all around the bungalows that you will smell every second. The wooden bungalow was cute and the location is 12 min walk from beach and it’s super quiet in the evening. The owner Liu literally made my stay in Koh Tao. She was so kind and caring. I felt like she is a sister. Really loved my stay:) Orchid Hime is my gateway from the touristic island!

Set within 600 metres of Sai Nuan Beach and 1.3 km of Jansom Bay Beach in Koh Tao, Tao Thong Villa 1 offers accommodation with seating area. This beachfront property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. The guest house features family rooms.

For us the location was perfect, it's very quiet, has an amazing view, private beach with brilliant snorkeling possibilities (we saw a turtle during our morning swim). It's a bit remote, but has a very good restaurant, so if you're not looking for the buzz and parties of the town, it's a perfect spot. The owner and staff are very chill and warm.

Walking distance to the town. There’s a big seven eleven right across the street. The room was clean and their staff was helpful and kind. Breakfast was good with the Thai savory dishes changing every morning. There were always bacon, egg and waffles. They gave me a container to pack breakfast one morning when I was going to miss the breakfast hour (8-11am) because of my diving course.

    We had a standard room with fan which was a basic room and bathroom with cold water shower. The fan worked well but it took a while to cool down the room. It was quiet and we couldn’t hear anything from other rooms. Great location right by the beach in a lovely part of the island. Nice food and beach bar options right by the accommodation. We didn’t use the pool or balcony because the sea was right there! We were able to extend our stay and book a snorkelling tour through them.
