Guest Reviews

• Yoichi (8/5): 親切なスタッフと心地よい宿 - 宿の設備が素晴らしいのはもちろんですが、何よりスタッフの方々がとても親切でした。その親切さは宿泊業務の枠にとどまらず、例えばバイクのキーがうまく回らず困っていた際にも、快く助けてくださいました。 気になった点は2点あります。1つはシャワーの水圧が少し弱いこと、もう1つは室内の照明が落ち着いた色味（ほのかな光量）のため、パソコンで作業をするには少し暗く感じたことです。 その他：宿泊自体に大きな支障はありませんが、1階のレセプションエリアは現在、写真のイメージとは異なっているようです。
• Sophie (7/5): -
• Frankie (10/5): -
• Edivania (10/5): - Great accommodation. The staff were amazing, always helpful, friendly, and attentive. After checkout, we were able to take a shower for 50 baht, which was very convenient, and they also allowed us to store our luggage during the day before our departure.

• Collin (7/5): -
• Evelyn (6/5): -
• Kanin (7/5): - ห้องพักสะอาด เตียงนุ่มหลับสบาย มีทีวีให้ดูเพลินๆ ห้องพักไม่ค่อยเก็บเสียง ประตูเวลาปิดต้องออกแรงแถมเสียงดังแสบหู
• samir (10/5): - Le calme
• Anja (5/5): -
• Dominic (10/5): -
• Clara (9/5): Really loved this stay and would highly recommend. Staff were lovely too - Really lovely room with amazing balcony, nice and quiet location as well. The bathroom smelt a little bit but other than that it was all perfect.
• Ruby (10/5): Ace - Bed was comfy, staff was all very friendly and accommodating, good location to stay in Nothing bad to say
• alexaceman (10/5): - Perfect area, friendly helpful staff
• Will (8/5): Good stay and perfect for a couple nights before moving on - Lovely staff, very welcoming. New room was perfect. Motorcycle rental adjacent to guesthouse were good lads and helped move my things to new property/room up the road Good location In correlation to ferry port Not the cleanest of reception areas on arrival, doesn’t make a good first impression. Our room had a slight bad smell and mould (room 10) when we asked to move they were okay with it and moved us up the road somewhere much nicer
• Hayden (8/5): -
• Christopher (6/5): -
• Jansen (9/5): - Dat het op Koh toa perfect gelegen lag De douche die geen aparte cabine heeft en de hele badkamer dus nat maakt
• chris77090 (8/5): Bien - Agréable séjour à Ava Boutique Guesthouse Koh Tao, un endroit charmant et bien situé. La chambre était propre, confortable . Un peu sombre. Le personnel est accueillant. L’ambiance est calme, idéale pour se reposer après une journée d’exploration. Très bon rapport qualité-prix, je recommande sans hésiter. Sombre Escalier difficile
• Britt (8/5): Overall very good. Functional and good value for money. - Great location- 5 mins walk from pier. Netflix and YouTube! Good internet connection. Functional- clean, good aircon. Quiet. Difficult to find reception as not like photo. In between 2 scooter rental places.
• Luka (4/5): Average stay, can find better for the same price - Location was great near many bars and restaurants. Staff was kind and helpfull. Visually the room looks like a basement, the bathroom had a weird stench and has a very strange configuration of shower and toilet, the front door was so loud you could hear us coming and going from across the island and there is also huge gaps in the door which dont allow privacy. Also the bed was as hard as a rock. Oh and there was two tiles on the floor that were coming out and we tripped over them many times.
• Madeleine (9/5): - Great location, clean room, hot water, comfy bed and good air con Blind on the bathroom window would be good and bit of an update of the bathroom in general.
• Powell (9/5): great stay all round perfect - amazing staff super helpful helped find my phone, great location clean room
• Nadia Anastasia (8/5): Room 7 is a lovely room - 1 week stay, as a couple, in February : - Very well located. It’s just 3 minutes by foot from the pier (yes it’s a little bit up hill, but nothing crazy) - The staff is VERY nice! I loved the lady that owns the place, she is always smiling and asks how you are doing. And her colleagues are very helpful. We even rented a scooter from them and I highly recommend! ❤️ - The check-in and check-out process went smoothly - We stayed in room number 7. It was lovely! We had a very nice view on a little bit of forest jungle where we could see and hear lots of birds and little squirrels. No apparent neighbors. There was a hammock also on the balcony which was very enjoyable to just relax and enjoy the sounds of nature. - The room itself was quite nice also. The bed was comfortable, there were some table surfaces, a big fridge. The only thing missing perhaps would be some storage, like a closet or somewhere to put our clothes, but there are hangers, so that worked as well. Honestly, there isn’t much to say. It was such a nice place! - Like on all islands in Thailand : there was bad smells coming from the bathroom. Especially when we arrived. But it’s not a big problem, you just need the door closed and air out and it’s fine. - If you leave food out of the fridge, the ants will come and serve themselves (but again, that is normal on an island) - The soundproofing seems just fine most of the time, except in the middle of the night when you get woken up by your drunk neighbors coming home. But again, nothing too bad. - There was a power outage once while we were there, lasted about 1-2 hours and then it went back to normal. - If you are doing online meetings, the wifi isn’t enough, as it is a shared wifi (but an e-sim easily solves that problem)
• Brogan (10/5): - The room was massive & felt like a wee home. Bed was so big & comfy too.
• Robert (10/5): - Great big space, lot of pillows, the couch was a cool addition too. Location was also central, 5 minutes from ferry. It's on a slope so walking to 7/11 might be tuff, we had a motorbike so everything went smooth.
• Clementine (10/5): -
• Dominic (9/5): -
• Michaela (8/5): Prima Unterkunft - Die Zimmer sind klassisch thailändisch. Man sollte nicht zu viel erwarten. Aber es ist sehr sauber und das Bett gemütlich. -
• Eloise (8/5): - AMAZING staff. What you pay for is what you get. Exactly like the pictures. Okay location but a bit out of the way. Bathroom had a damp smell.
• Romero Sanz (3/5): -
• claudia (6/5): - La posizione è ottima! la stanza è confortevole e di ottime dimensioni. Il balcone con l' amaca è stato molto apprezzato. Abbiamo avuto problemi con la toilet, dal bagno proveniva un odore veramente sgradevole...inoltre alla nostra richiesta di fermarci una notte in più, inizialmente hanno confermato per poi spostarci in un altro hotel senza dirci nulla...
• Amin (6/5): Convenient and cheap. - Close to ferry Pier Booking.com pics made the room look like it had a private balcony with a Hamock..not the case.shame as this was something that attracted me to the booking.
• micol (7/5): -
• Marlon (7/5): -
• Nova (8/5): Fantastisch - Het bed was fantastisch en het vriendelijkste personeel die we ooit hebben meegemaakt. De badkamer viel een beetje uit elkaar.
• PAULINE (6/5): -
• Bv (10/5): - Location was good, comfortable room with a nice balcony. I’ll definitely stay again:)
• Douglas (10/5): - Tudo ótimo, para ficar em Koh Tao na Sairee é melhor, mas passamos uma noite antes de ir embora e foi ótimo pois é do lado do Pier. Preço bom pelo o que oferece, quarto confortável.
• Kopa (4/5): -
• shantelle (1/5): Avoid! - Absolutely nothing This property is absolutely NOTHING like the pictures shown. The reception is someone’s living room/bedroom/kitchen on the front and then you have to go down a narrow hall way and down the steepest set of stairs ever to get down to your room. When we arrived to our room it was no where near as shown on the pictures when booking. The bedding was marked and again nothing like the pictures. The towels on the bed were stained and discoloured. The bathroom was the smallest I’ve ever seen and was dirty. The shower head barely worked but did have warm water. We raised concerns about this at reception and had to speak to a young boy who did not seem very old to deal with it. I explained about the above and was told there was nothing they can do and to speak with booking.com. I asked if we could have new towels and was told the marks on them were from discolouration I explained that they looked dirty and I was not willing to use dirty towels, he did give us both fresh towel and new pillows as we were only given 1 each and they were extremely thin. I felt sorry for the young boy as he was running around dealing with people checking in / out and other things whilst grown adults were sat next to him smoking and talking amongst themselves (this didn’t sit right with me) The walls are really thin and you can hear people coming in and out of their rooms and due to the doors being very hard to unlock and lock this woke us up a few times. Overall this is most possibly the worst place I’ve ever stayed! Would avoid!
• Kahina (5/5): It was okay but wouldn’t stay again - The man Latt at the reception was so nice and helpful! The facilities were not clean or hygienic and lots of noise in the morning due to construction next door.
• Aino-Maija (8/5): Siisti huone keskeisellä sijainnilla - Sijainti oli ok, majoitus oli industrial-henkinen rapattuine betoniseinineen. Huone oli siisti. Hotellille oli pieni ylämäki.
• Maartje (8/5): - Op 3 min lopen van de pier. Ruime kamers met balkon voor schappelijke prijs. Ongeveer 20 min lopen naar Sairee beach. Scooterverhuur. Veel goedkope en goede restaurantjes in de buurt (aanrader bambam recht tegenover). Airco stond op standje vries en dat was niet goed te regelen. Ernaast wordt gebouwd dus dat hoor je. De gezamenlijke ruimte vd foto's lijkt meer een opslag en is niet echt bruikbaar daardoor.
• Megan (9/5): - We stayed here for a few nights when we arrived in Ko Tao as it is very close to the port. The room was comfortable and clean and the staff were helpful and friendly. AC / wifi / hot water all worked great. Nothing
• Adam (8/5): Nice stay - Nice room Good wifi Hot shower Slight negative is that we were told upon check in that we had to move hotels to a place 500m up the hill. Annoying as we’d intentionally booked somewhere close to the beach but the room did end up being lovely. Would just appreciate a heads up next time
• Alina (9/5): -
• Lauren (8/5): Brilliant staff, good value for money. - The staff were very friendly and happy to help. If you are looking to be close to Sairee Beach it is about a 30 minute walk, but the location was good for us.
• Heather (10/5): -
• Amelia (4/5): - Location is close to the pier so very easy after the ferry. Staff were very friendly and helped us move rooms after problems with our first. Our first room didn’t have working aircon but staff did glow us move to one with working aircon. The new room wasn’t very clean and did have an odd smell. Lots of tin roofs around so when it rains it’s very loud.

• Sabri (8/5): -
• Sherin (7/5): -
• Azul (5/5): Regular - Amabilidad del personal, muy buenos y simpáticos La ubicación Y que el TV era smart y pudimos ver YouTube y pelis no hacían limpieza cada día, Poca luz la habitación Las fotos de la recepción no eran fieles a lo mostrado en booking
• Jortemanss (7/5): Goed voor de prijs - Grote kamer, mooie tv. We kregen geen schoonmaak, schone lakens en handdoeken tussen de nachten door.

• alain (4/5): Bon uniquement pour une nuit de repos ,en transit. - Séjour d'une nuit juste bon pour une très courte nuit de transit. NOTE POSITIVE PAS DE BRUIT OK; Le rapport qualité prix mais nous sommes a KOH TAO ,je pense qu'une chambre comme cela était a 300 bath maximum il y a quelques mois. Les prix ont triplés ce n'est pas raisonnable pour Koh tao si ils veulent recevoir les touristes qui voyagent pour leur vacances il va falloir revenir au prix de la Thaïlande d'avant sinon les voyageurs vont changer de destination. Ou alors rénover entièrement les appartements pour recevoir les voyageurs dans de meilleures conditions.
• Nyah (4/5): - The bed was comfortable and location was good There was ants in the bathroom and on my third night there was ants in my bed. I spoke to staff and they changed my room.
• makky (10/5): - Good location and clean room comfortable bed !!
• Louise (10/5): -
• Pierre (3/5): - -Die Betten waren für Thailändische Verhältnisse ausnahmsweise nicht Stein hart. -Unfreundliches und unaufmerksames Personal. -Das Zimmer wurde auch nach mehrfachem auffordern zwischendurch nicht gereinigt. -Das Zimmer entsprach nicht den Bildern. -Die Tür zum Badezimmer war Kaputt
• Saioa (7/5): Podría ser un poco más economica - La ubicación era perfecta... Muy bien situado, pero sin bullicio Quizá la habitación es un poco pequeña
• Melvin (8/5): - Vooral de locatie is top. Dichtbij het strand, de pier en bij de duikscholen. Prima bedden en de airco is heerlijk. Het is eenvoudig, maar wij vonden het wel compleet. Je kunt er niet ontbijten, maar er zijn genoeg eettentjes in de buurt! Schoonmaken gebeurt op aanvraag, dus gewoon even vragen bij de receptie, wordt keurig gedaan. Wij hebben een fijn verblijf gehad.
• Sandra (8/5): -
• Kerry (10/5): - - we stayed as a family of 4. The room had one double bed and bunk bed. The space was massive for us. - the staff were so lovely - the location was ideal, close to the pier but far enough away to not be surrounded by people constantly - beds were very comfortable We loved the hostel no negative comments. If I wished to be picky it would be one thing that cannot be changed. It would be better to have the fan in the middle of the room to be more effective for everyone. Saying this, it did not impact our stay at all.
• Hong (5/5): Passable - Location was convenient, near to the pier and some eating places nearby. Room wasn't very clean, there was dirt and stains on the floor and wash basin counter.
• Devina (8/5): Good! - Very good value for Linen and good location, they are nice rooms! Have everything you need, just needs a little TLC like fixing light bulbs but still was a really nice stay!
• Kévin (9/5): Superb -
• Tessa (7/5): Good -
• Luis (3/5): Enttäuscht vom Preis leistungs Verhältnis. - The place was not far from the pier We were first given a room with mold. It smelled like mold, and our bed linens were slightly damp. We slept in that room for two nights. Then we started getting sore throats and told the reception that there was mold in the room and asked if they could do something about it. We were then given a new room. The man at the reception immediately knew what we were talking about and apparently was already aware that there was mold in the room. I don't think it's acceptable to keep renting out a room when it's clearly known that it has mold. Additionally, the price of €35 per night is absolutely too much for what you get. A very small room with no storage space, no wardrobe, etc. There are clearly better and more modern accommodations available for the same price.
• Joseph (10/5): Exceptional -
• Lewis (7/5): Good -
• Felgate (7/5): Good -
• Mattia (10/5): Exceptional -
• Abbie (9/5): Superb - Great for backpackers as it’s right near the pier and there’s a smart TV where you can log into your own Netflix which we loved!!!
• Javiera (1/5): No worth it - Nothing The photos doesn't match with the real rooms The only good point was a smiling guy who help us whit the luggage The guy in the reception wasn't friendly at all He didn't gave us toilet roll or shampoo No cleaning services or fresh towels in 4 days
• Hannah (8/5): Very good -
• Bilge (8/5): Very good -
• Travis (9/5): A good stay - Super comfy bed. Close to the pier and shops. Room was a good size Entrance is a bit of a maze. Lighting could be better.
• Katie (9/5): Superb - Super Lovely staff!! Spacious rooms, great location as well The reception isn’t the same as pictures but that wasn’t an issue for us
• Stephen (10/5): Exceptional -
• April (7/5): Good -
• Hubbard-browne (10/5): Well equipped room - Clean and comfortable Room well equipped(fridge, kettle, tv) Water refill point Helpful and accommodating staff
• Alex (10/5): Exceptional -
• Anni (8/5): Very good -
• Darina (8/5): Very good - Nice staff. Near the city centre & the pier on Koh tao. For a couple of days, totally fine. One recognises within seconds, that the accommodation is a bit older. In my view, the room was a bit too big. The bathroom couldn’t have been more clean. Door should have closed a bit better. Unfortunately we had ants, but thats a bit common on the island or even in Thailand itself.
• Claire (8/5): A great spot. - Location was good near to the ferry piers. Only about a 15 minute walk to the action in Sairee beach and really close to anything you could want. Staff were lovely and helpful. Really good value for money. Room was clean and comfortable big fridge and water/ coffee provided. Few complaints for this place. If I’m being picky the doors were a little awkward to lock and unlock and the shower wasn’t great but really wasn’t a big issue.
• Olga (9/5): Superb -
• Φραγκογιός (9/5): Superb - Very clean and nice rooms
• Achai (9/5): Superb - The room was clean and pleasant, excellent air conditioning and a cute balcony חדר נקי ומפנק מרפסת נחמדה עם נוף כיפי
• Shantanu (6/5): Pleasant -
• Mcclellan (10/5): Awesome.Stay close to the action that far enough away - It is so close to the The ferry pier....There is a lovely restaurant across the street ...everything you can ask for. Get the Room with the Balcony because it's so peaceful. Yes, the Islands definitely for young people. ....not the sixty five year old Nothing
• Connie (7/5): Really good value for money - Nice hotel and good location! The entrance area was a bit chaotic and messy.
• Rachel (8/5): Friendly staff make this a worth while stay. - Near the activity of Mae Hat town. Bam Bam’s restaurant across the road has great food - you may wait a while. Kitchen for self catering. Friendly staff. Some upgrades needs - door handles loose, paint flaking significantly.
• Smith (10/5): Exceptional -
