We were in Koh Tao for diving. While we do not expect top notch accommodation, but at B2400 a night, we do expect clean and basic stuff that works. Firstly, in case you believe this is a resort, its actually more like a chalet. Make sure you dont get a room close to the restaurant.. It gets really noisy and... More

The room was really dusty, the toilet seat was loose so you had to balance on it, the bathroom smelled really bad all the rime, the shower looked dirty, the bathroom was right in front of where the staff worked "backstage" so you could hear them chat with eachother when you tried to mind your own business (even when you...

Really nice hotel. 2minutes walking from the beach, just far enought not to hear people partying on the beach. Nice swimming pool, clean, beautiful garden with lots of flowers. 2 clean towels each, so one for the pool and one for the shower. Nice buffet for breakfast included, with western cuisine, you can even ask for the kind of eggs... More

This was my favourite hotel I stayed in in Thailand. Stayed here in January 2012 and booked online. We decided to pay the extra money for a superior room as we read that you need to keep away from rooms near the bar as it plays loud music at night and we hoped if we paid more we wouldn't be...

I stayed here for 3 nights with my boyfriend and we wished we stayed longer! The rooms are amazing, very big, bed is huge with flower petals and towels made in a Swan shape (cheesy but nice touch), the balcony was big aswell as the shower and bathroom. Mini bar, TV with DVD player you can hire DVD's from reception... More

Stayed at the Simple Life Resort here for 3 nights in Jan 2012 and was generally pretty impressed. Huge rooms, very clean, well stocked minibar and great location. We booked late (couple of days before by telephone) but check in was nice and smooth, and easy enough transfer from the pier. The restaurant/ bar was great too with a very... More

Stayed here in December 2009 whilst travelling South East Asia for couple of months. Koh Tao was my favourite place I stayed and a lot of that was probably down to staying at Simple Life. Fantastic service from start to end. Great room. Spectacular bathroom. Superb location to nearby restaurants and beach. Would highly recommend. More

We booked a superior double room with a pool view for 3 nights. The room itself was huge with a fab balcony overseeing the pool, very clean with no problems with any else apart from the hot water system didn't work as well as the staff showed us. We had to make sure the airconditioning was always on no higher... More

Very friendly staff, always happy to help and courteous. The pool was nice and usually empty and the location is ideal for nightlife and food. Quite a busy intersection just outside that can be hazardous to cross but always easy to get a taxi. Overall a fun stay and few complaints. More
