Ecotao Lodge is such a peaceful place. Everything was great. The owner is wonderful man and his staff are very friendly and helpful. The food was really good. You can walk to Tanote bay. good for snorkeling. I didn’t want to leave Ecotao Lodge. An unforgettable memory. A big thank you. Definitely worth it to stay here.

Really nice place, super comfy beds and great social area in front on the place as well as on the third floor where there bean bags and card games etc. Also ice cold water for free that you can fill your water bottle with. And the staff was really nice. Would definitely recommend, we met many backpackers also staying here.

I really enjoyed staying in Silver Na’s. The hostel was very social without being a party hostel, while I stayed there everyone was more focused on diving or beach days. The hostel offers a free shuttle service to a different beach every day which is a great way to see Koh Tao if you aren’t going to rent a scooter. The location is great, an easy 3 minute walk to Sairee Beach and the town area with restaurants and 7 eleven. Would highly recommend if you’re looking for a more chill vibe while also having the social element.

Perfect Island Getaway – Stunning Views & Incredible Hosts! 🌴✨ I can’t recommend Villa Mar highly enough! Located on the peaceful southern end of Koh Tao, this villa feels like a private slice of paradise — far enough from the crowds to truly unwind, yet still close enough to great beaches and restaurants. The views are absolutely breathtaking — every morning we woke up to sweeping ocean panoramas that looked straight out of a postcard. Watching the sunset from the terrace was pure magic. The villa itself is beautifully designed, spotlessly clean, and equipped with everything you could possibly need for a relaxing stay. What really made our experience special were the hosts. They went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed, offering great local recommendations and always being just a message away. Their attention to detail and genuine hospitality made us feel completely at home.

I had a wonderful stay at the Mar Ozo Hotel. The girls at reception were so nice, kind, and extremely helpful, which made check-in a very pleasant experience. The rooms were spotless and well-maintained, with a really nice bathroom and very comfortable beds. The air conditioning worked perfectly, and there was always hot water available. I also appreciated the little details like water in the fridge and being well taken care of while waiting for the room to be ready. Overall, an excellent stay – highly recommended!
