The two platforms agree to within a tenth of a point across 375 reviews, which is the signal we look for. Scores that diverge between platforms usually mean one of them is thin.
Confirmed on Booking.com (9 from 186 reviews) and Agoda (8.9 from 189 reviews), checked 8 October 2026. Booking.com shows no official star rating for this property. 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.
9.0 on Booking.com from 186 reviews, 8.9 on Agoda from 189. Two samples of almost identical size landing a tenth of a point apart, which is about as clean a read as a small property gives you.
Staff score 9.7, much the strongest number on its board, with value for money and location both 9.0.
What you are booking is plain: a double or twin room with a balcony, a chair or two and air conditioning, in a small block set back from the road on the Ban Tai strip. Booking.com lists a terrace, free parking and free wifi, shows no official star rating, and marks it adults only.
Two numbers set expectations. Wifi scores 7.5, the weakest of our six Ban Tai picks, and its 375 reviews are the smallest sample here. A Double Room with Balcony costs around ฿2,077 a night, and the rest of the board reads like a place that knows exactly what it is.
Best for
A small Ban Tai guesthouse that guests rate 9.7 for staff
Skip if
You need to work online, because wifi at 7.5 is the weakest we list in Ban Tai
