Confirmed on Booking.com (8.2 from 768 reviews) and Agoda (8.3 from 2,361 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 Booking.com from 768 reviews, 8.3 on Agoda from 2,361. Both are under the 8.5 we ask of a Researched Pick, so this is Also Listed, and on average it is the lowest score we list on Koh Tao, though its sample is the second largest of our east coast hotels.
Staff score 9.0, cleanliness and comfort 8.8, location and wifi 8.6, facilities 8.3, and value for money 7.6, the lowest we list on the island.
