guest reviews
The two platforms agree to within a tenth of a point across 4,887 reviews, which is the signal we look for. Scores that diverge between platforms usually mean one of them is thin.
Confirmed on Booking.com (8.6 from 1,228 reviews) and Agoda (8.6 from 3,659 reviews), checked 5 October 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.
8.6 on Booking.com from 1,228 reviews, 8.6 on Agoda from 3,659. The two platforms agree exactly at 8.6, from 1,228 reviews and 3,659. That is 4,887 in all, the third deepest sample we have on Koh Tao.
Location scores 9.2. Its coordinates are about 892 metres from Haad Sairee, on the headland at the northern end of the bay, which is why the villas sit among rocks rather than on sand. Booking.com lists it as beachfront, with a pool, a restaurant and a bar.
Comfort scores 9.0, wifi 9.0, staff 8.9, cleanliness 8.8 and facilities 8.7.
Value for money at 8.1 is the number that keeps this from being a straightforward recommendation: the joint second lowest among everything we list on the island. A deluxe patio villa was around ฿4,300 a night for 15 to 18 November 2026 (held for a spot check; the January read was for a Terra Spiral Patio Villa). You are paying for the setting and the thatch, and guests are telling you so.
