The staff were very friendly and helpful, however we were quite disappointed that our room was infested with ants. They were all over the bed when we checked in and there were quite a few of them in the bathroom. There were also several holes in the walls that were filled with toilet paper. Other than that, we appreciated how accommodating the staff were.

Le ventilateur dans la petite cabane ne fonctionnait pas super bien alors nous avons eu très chaud durant la nuit ! Au niveau du confort, après un mois à voyager en Thaïlande, il s’agit du lit le plus dure et moins confortable que nous avons eu! Les employés sont gentils cependant et l’endroit est quand même propre malgré tout ! Pour la plongé nous avons adoré notre guide, cependant, nos deux plongés étaient à des endroits pas super intéressant donc très déçu de cela !

Highly recommend their bungalows

Nice enough bungalow, warm welcome. I felt expected on arrival and being booked in. They even go to collect you at the ferry port. One and only downside is, the bed, but I gather it’s mostly the same all over Thailand. Too hard and uncomfortable. Everything else considered, actually outweighed this. I ended up booking and staying on for a further 5 nights. Still gets my vote and would definitely recommend.

Clean & affordable bungalow. (no Huntsmans)

I rented a budget bungalow and it was well worth the money. Ive rented similar bungalows at other places on the island which were nowhere near as good. It was spotless and had a mosquito net (first time ive had one), which is good for pansies that are scared of mossies. There were no cockroaches or huntsman spiders involved either, which is a real bonus. The only point that other people may have a problem with is the bed is quite "firm", shall we say. I like a hard mattress, so I'm ok with that, but there are plenty others who will probably moan that their bed shouldve been more softer for the 400 Baht a night price (very cheap). Yes, there are people who will always whinge, and theyre usually from the same countries.....we all know who you are. Not sure if the restaurant is part of the same establishment, but it was a bit of work trying to order something (nobody seems to be in any real hurry to even acknowledge you are there), and the food wasnt as good as ive had in other places. I would definitely stay there again but maybe eat somewhere else. There are loads of fantastic restaurants not that far away from there. I suppose the competitions stiff and ive only tried the place once, so dont write them off on my review alone. This is the only reason that I havent given them full marks for everything. Its also in a lovely part of Koh Tao.

AVOID THIS HOTEL! TERRIBLE!!

Avoid this hotel!!! Never been more disappointed to arrive to a room that was not as described on the website. There was a bad smell when we walked into the room. And the bed was rock solid. Would have been better lying on the floor. We also had a hike up quite a few steep steps with 2 heavy rucksacks on are back. When we went to the reception desk a man who claimed he was the manager laughed in my face well I told him the issues we had. He made fun of the whole issue and claimed the photos on the website were taken when the place was opened and that bubble bungalow did not look like this anymore he also claimed all of the beds were hard. He also stated ‘sure you only stay one night’. I have never felt so embarrassed and I will never recommend here to anyone. Wether we stayed one night or not we should have been treated like everyone else. AVOID AVOID AVOID!!!

Could be better

Although relatively clean, the bed was very uncomfortable! And the blankets provided were old and too small. A simple sheet would be far better! The shower smelt very bad when turned on. There was a lot of rubbish around the bungalow which ruined the surrounding plant life. Of the three separate occasions in which i have stayed in the this area of koh tao, this was unfortunately the least pleasant experience.

Cute little private bungalow

This little room was pleasent, just had a queen bed with a bathroom behind the wall. I had a room with a fan only which was good as i was quite cold at night anyway. I loved the hammok out the front and i was lucky enough to lay in it most of my stay, listen to the sound of the forrest (with the occasiinal car or bike zoom past) and watch the squirrels (i think thats what they were) play in the trees. The only downside was my room did not have hot water in the shower

Nice bungalows

Cheep accommodation(500THB/bungalow2 ppl/Expedia deal), cold shower(which was perfect) quite far to walk to Sairee Beach, expensive laundry service, expensive bike rent next door. Good enough for the price ( most about 700 THB/ room close to the centre).

The place was ok, clean comfortable bed. It has no aircon, or it does but you have to pay a lot more. When you arrive they tell you your room is not ready and take you to their restaurant which is not cheap.

We liked our room and we enjoyed our stay. Although housekeeping didn't do their job right...we stayed for 6 days and only once our towels were changed and not once the bed was made. The mosquito net was very dirty when we arrived and I had to wash it in order to sleep...for the money we paid it was worth it. Great service at the reception! They picked us up from the pier and also will bring us to the pier. Thank you very much!

Clean but basic diving hostel in quiet area

The area of Chalok baan bay is a peaceful little corner of Koh Tao and if you are just going there for some peace and quiet it's probably quite a nice location to spend a few days. We visited in Sept 2016 which is during the low-season, but it was still far quieter than we bargained for. This may be due to the fact that the main road which runs outside Bubble Bungalow was being re-surfaced so half the road was tarmac and the other half was dirt, with heavy construction going on each day, making it hard to access. We also found that although Bubble Bungalow was in a nice location, had basic but clean rooms and a nice white sandy beach just a few yards away, it didn't provide a comfortable night's sleep as the mattresses in both rooms were absolutely rock solid. Due to the quietness of the area, and the hard mattresses we decided to check out after just one of our three booked nights and find accommodation in the busier area of Sairee beach. There was also no hot water which we mentioned at check-out and were told the taps were the wrong way around - so if we'd used the cold tap we would've got a hot shower - but i'm not sure this was really true. The staff were friendly and i'm sure it is much livelier during high season, and ideal for divers who just want to get away from the craziness of other more touristy places, but we were glad we moved to Sairee beach for the remainder of our time in Koh Tao.

The stairs to Mordor

Whilst the location may have been great the trek up hill to our room was not! We had to walk up what felt like a gazillion stairs and with heavy backpacks that was not fun. Not to mention that given we also got food poisoning for a local restaurant so the option to leave the room was even more daunting given the climb. Our electricity stopped working for about an hour so we had no water or fan... Not that the fan made a huge difference as a cooling machine in such heat to the point I'm fairly convinced that Frodo and Sam walked in during the night looking lost. Our mosquito net was full of holes so it did absolutely nothing to protect us to the point I woke up with a mosquito bite on my eyelid! The price is good but still not what I expected, the workout whilst good for my thighs was just not worth it.

We had a lovely clean room with a nice bathroom. We opted for a fan room and though it was hot the fan was decent so definitely made it bearable. So close to a beautiful beach, far from all the noise and busy part of the island.

Amazing rooms so long as you expect no frills. One thing worth mentioning is that the mattress was VERY firm, even by Thai standards but the location is primo and the staff were very helpful and friendly. Great variety of restaurants in the neighbourhood and very close to Freedom Beach (best beach on the island we thought)
