    The room did get hot when the power cut out. But didn’t happen often.

    Great style and clean! Loved the homemade soaps in the bathroom. Lovely staff. Great recommendations for places to visit.

    There was some bass noise from the club across the road, but nothing that stopped us from sleeping.

    The hotel centres around a nicely designed courtyard area shaded by copious vegetation and features a good cafe for breakfast and lunch. We didn’t eat here in the evening so couldn’t comment on that. Our room, while compact, was intelligently and pleasingly designed with a small outdoor terrace. The location is handy; set back from the main road and a 10 min walk to the pier. Check in was easy and nice helpful staff. There is a new craft beer place 2 mins walk away on the main road.

    Beautiful hotel located in a small jungle on Koh Tao!

    The hotel is hidden in a small "jungle" they have created around it, which makes it a very special experience to stay in. The host is very nice and sent us a lot of information about Koh Tao (restaurant recommendations, places to visit etc.). Furthermore, the cafe that is part of the hotel serves really good breakfast (incl. good coffee), and we also had lunch there as well. The room was very clean, we've also used their laundry service, which was only little more expensive than if we washed by ourselves in a laundry room.

    🤷‍♂️ It was all great!

    Lovely, friendly, helpful staff, cute cafe with good food (especially the local menu!). Rooms were clean, comfortable, and decorated nicely. The location is great, we hired a scooter through the hotel for a few hundred bhat a day and rode down to Ban's on it every day which takes less than 10 minutes. It's a good spot to explore not only Sairee beach but the other parts of the island. The hotel provided wraps/towels for taking to the beach separate to our room towels which was great too. All in all a really nice stay, and can recommend it to anyone looking for a calm spot that is still fairly centrally located. They also gave a great list of recommendations.

    After staying at the hotel last year already we decided to stay again for a whole month while traveling Thailand and we felt completely at home. everything from staff to rooms is 10/10. it‘s quiet during the night but at the same time just a 5 minute scooter ride to sairee beach with all its restaurants and bars.

    I cannot fault this property at all. In 4 months of travelling Asia this is without a doubt the nicest hotel we have ever stayed in! We booked the apartment and felt like we were in a luxury treehouse, the view from our room was just so many trees - so beautiful. The actual room was unbelievable, everything was so clean and finished to an incredibly high standard with really small wonderful finishing touches. The cleaners deserve their own review for how amazing they were! Every day they came in and cleaned the room perfectly, it always smelt so good and they even opening all our curtains and putting the curtain ties back on. The wifi was really good and the cafe downstairs was delicious and Big Tree customers get 10% off. The hotel offer laundry for the same price as everywhere else and it’s delivered to your room the next day. We also rented bikes with no issues and the hotel gave us so many great recommendations for food and activities. Overall the whole stay was just so luxurious, comfortable and calm. The location is fantastic, around a 10 minute walk to the main area of Tao if you’re a fast walker. Tjere is a small french bulldog who belongs to one of the staff but its very friendly (I’m scared of dogs and was a bit apprehensive but it’s a lovely little dog) Thank you so much!

    Lovely boutique hotel with accomodating staff and extra services, in the centre of island.

    The family suite has a lovely central space but the upstairs room is in the mezzanine - so without windows and a very steep staircase. Of course, it is also central on the island so not near the ocean.

    The hotel was lovely, and the food and drinks from the cafe delicious! It's very central so easy to organise ourselves. There is a gorgeous boutique, gelato shop and ramen shop right there. Laundry could be done through the hotel, and they provided us with umbrellas, snorkels and masks and beach sarongs for use during our stay. Lovely staff.

    Lovely boutique hotel with natural charm. Slightly off the main road so was surprisingly quiet which was great. Staff was very friendly and helpful, and the room was very tidy. Good location to local eats and just a 15 minute walk for us to our dive centre in town. The staff were also very helpful with great suggestions for food, taxi and massage services. Lovely cafe and food as well! Would definitely stay again!

    Unexpectedly charming and well-connected to the main points of interest in the island

    (minor details) in the studio, the position of the television was not the most comfortable to watch from bed no international channels, only smart tv apps the hotel did not have its own restaurant, hang out areas nor salons, so you don't interact with other guests (which can be good for some), so the hotel is pretty much for resting only

    the owner was extremely nice the hotel surroundings are very green, it feels like you are in a garden design was slick, clean and everything very tastefully made and decorated (especially comparing to what's offered in Koh Tao) studio flat was excellent: plenty of windows giving access to the greenery nearby (quite beautiful), very good sq footage, balcony was a nice plus, bathroom is spacious bonus: the clothing store in the premises is also quite good

    An absolute gem of a place. The room was lovely and the bed was enormous and so comfy. Excellent pillows too (something many hotels seem to not get right!) The staff were incredible, so welcoming and friendly. I loved my time at Big Tree, every last detail was thought through. The shower was excellent, really powerful and the toiletries were made in Koh Tao with natural ingredients, again, just the little extra touches that show you the people who run Big Tree have thought of everything!

    The staircase to the upper floor is very narrow making it difficult to carry a suitcase. Also, the price you see in booking is not the actual price you pay. You are asked to pay in advance via a bank transfer that charges 3% extra. Keep that in mind before booking.

    The location of the hotel is very nice, close to the pier (10-12 mins on foot). They can also assist you in renting a scooter to make your life easier going around the island. The room was clean and it is very nice that the hotel also provides beach towels to use.
