The two platforms agree to within a tenth of a point across 768 reviews, which is the signal we look for. Scores that diverge between platforms usually mean one of them is thin.
Confirmed on Booking.com (9.0 from 657 reviews) and Agoda (9.2 from 111 reviews), checked 14-15 September 2026. Booking.com shows no star rating for this property. Sub-scores and listed facilities read from the Booking.com property page. We have not stayed here.
Tembo’s wifi scores 9.9, the joint second best on the island, behind only a perfect 10. Comfort sits at 9.5. If you are choosing a beachfront base to work from, those two numbers are the whole argument.
It is on Bangrak, the north coast beach near the airport, and it is priced accordingly at around ฿5,508 a night for 15 to 18 November 2026 (left out of the January refresh: only a three-bedroom suite). Value for money at 8.8 is respectable for that money rather than remarkable.
Booking.com did not display a star rating for this property when checked on 15 September 2026, so none is given here. Facilities are beach, pool, yoga and the essentials, with no spa or gym listed.
Both platforms score it 9.0 or above, with Booking.com carrying most of the review weight at 657 to Agoda’s 111.
