guest reviews

The two platforms agree to within a tenth of a point across 943 reviews, which is the signal we look for. Scores that diverge between platforms usually mean one of them is thin.

Confirmed on Booking.com (9.1 from 818 reviews) and Agoda (9.1 from 125 reviews), checked 16-17 September 2026. Agoda's sample is small, so the Booking.com figure carries the weight. Area taken from the property's own address, which states Sairee Beach. Sub-scores and facilities read from the Booking.com property page. We have not stayed here.

At around ฿5,236 a night this is the most expensive thing we list on Koh Tao, and it is also the listing guests rate lowest for value, at 8.8. Those two numbers are worth reading together.

The rest is solid. Staff 9.6, cleanliness 9.4, comfort 9.3, wifi 9.5, and both platforms agree exactly on 9.1. Agoda’s 125 reviews are a thin sample, so Booking’s 818 are doing most of the work there.

Location scores 8.8, the lowest of our Sairee listings. By its coordinates the property sits roughly 1.3km north of the Sairee village centre, towards the quieter end of the beach. That is a perfectly good choice if you want Sairee without being in the middle of it, but it is not the walk-out-of-the-door experience that Silver Na’s 9.6 reflects.

The honest comparison is with Sunny Side Resort, also on Sairee, also with a pool, at around ฿3,330. It scores higher on comfort, cleanliness and value for about ฿1,900 a night less. What it scores much lower on is wifi.
