Hotels in Chalok Baan Kao, Koh Tao

We wanted to check out early for personal reasons and although Trip gave us facilities and everything for a refund, they were not willing. We could leave earlier but they would not refund our money, even if we notified before check out time and whatever... Very upset with the reception management, the photos are also deceiving. What stands out is the area to work and the paid breakfast.

The hotel is nice in general, the location is also quite convenient. It is located up the hill thou but the view is amazing! They have shuttle bus to take you around the island if you need it. But if you rent the bike, the location is not a problem at all. It might look a bit old, but I didn’t mind it. The stuff is super friendly and helpful. The food is just okay. We loved our stay there.

We stayed in a beachfront villa and a twin garden view. The overall space inside the house is not big, a bit small, and the facilities are relatively simple. The layout of the beachfront villa is unreasonable, but the beachfront and overall environment of the resort are very good, and the service staff are also very friendly. It is a quiet resort in Koh Tao, very suitable for lying down. I will consider choosing this resort next time I come to Koh Tao. The facilities are particularly complete, with swings and hammocks. The children had a lot of fun, and the children got along well with their staff.

I stayed here for two days in Koh Tao ten years ago and was impressed, so I chose this place again this time. Advantages: halfway up the mountain, very quiet, unbeatable balcony view, family room with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, spacious room. Disadvantages: the water heater needs to be turned on by the air conditioner and it is slow to heat up, the location is slightly off, the slope at the entrance is very steep, climbing up and down is very tiring, but it is also an interesting experience, and the hotel takes too long to serve the food. An extra quilt costs 200 pigs.

Nice place! Very clean. Quite cozy room. A little far from beach. We didn’t car coz had bike .

The hotel is very good for the price it has. The room is very large and the bathroom is also. You have a small porch out with a table and chairs. It was quite clean and the location is excellent, next to the beach with all kinds of rooms, but quiet area. Also has a swimming pool and a restaurant on the beach. You can rent a bike there too and some excursions.

It was pretty good for the price. It has a forest-like environment. I liked going up the steps to the room, or hanging out on the hammock. It was very relaxing and the fan room was enough. Water was not hot and I realized later that you should not take a hot shower after scuba diving so it was good that way

Hotel location is very good, breakfast is rich, the environment is clean, the service staff is very polite, very smiling, the hotel pool is very clean, very fresh, very like

Very good location. The sign for the hotel isn't very clear, but it's easy to find. Next to a private beach. The swimming pool is very beautiful, the nature is beautiful, near the view point, good service.

The location is, of course, magnificent. For a couple of days and evenings with their beautiful sunsets, you definitely won’t want to leave anywhere. Then you will probably need to take a proper swim. The beaches at the hotel are too shallow. At least that's what happened in April. And by noon the water was too warm and not refreshing. But on Freedom Beach, if you swim further from the shore, there are a lot of fish and corals. Although, I also met a huge parrot fish and a small shark in the shallows. However, keep in mind that to the normal depth you have to swim 150 meters above the cucumbers and hedgehogs, which is a little tiring. If you're looking for a snorkeling paradise, I recommend heading to Au Leuk Beach. This is where marine abundance begins almost from the shore. Moreover, to the right and left of the beach. And in the middle there is an excellent swimming area, with good depth and the color of the water is cooler than at Nissi Beach in Cyprus. As for the hotel itself, the bungalows are cozy and clean. No frills, but everything is laconic and modern. We were quite satisfied with the breakfasts and cuisine in the restaurants. The price of the hotel is small, but we did not regret the money spent. We spent a long time choosing a place on Koh Tao and were not mistaken. The staff is friendly and smiling. Even the already legendary chief administrator, famous for her cool disposition, greeted and saw us off cordially. It depends on your luck, apparently. One of the minuses that is worth mentioning is garbage on the hotel grounds, between stones and in other hard-to-reach and other places. Plus the shower at Freedom Beach did not work. But the local beauties cover even this. The sunset at Freedom Beach is one of the most beautiful I've ever seen in my life.
