The two platforms agree to within a tenth of a point across 1,335 reviews, which is the signal we look for. Scores that diverge between platforms usually mean one of them is thin.

Confirmed on Booking.com (8.2 from 280 reviews) and Agoda (8.2 from 1,055 reviews), checked 22 September 2026. Straight-line distances are from its Booking.com coordinates to OpenStreetMap points. Sub-scores and facilities read from the Booking.com property page. We have not stayed here.

8.2 on both Booking.com and Agoda, from 280 and 1,055 reviews. Both are under the 8.5 we ask of a Researched Pick, so this is Also Listed rather than a pick.

Location scores 9.3 and staff 9.1, with value for money 8.5, cleanliness 8.4, comfort 8.3 and facilities 7.9, the lowest facilities score of our Chaloklum hotels. Wifi at 5.8 is the lowest we list on Koh Phangan, so plan around it if you need to work.
