Absolutely amazing villa! The view is beautiful and it is not far from the main ‘attractions’ on the island (it is quite small anyway so with a scooter you will be anywhere in no time). Franzi is super sweet and made sure we had a great stay. Definitely would recommend!

I think the only way to enhance this Villa would be to change the colour of the bedding and white towels to another colour that doesn’t show the stains (suncream stains) Apart from this there is nothing that could make this place any better !

Karo Villas was absolutely perfect for us. A secret little getaway, away from the crowds. Read all the other reviews and it was just what we wanted. Thank you to our host Franzi and the brilliant cleaning team.

Nothing

Franzi was incredibly helpful and kind The room was beautiful and we loved having our own space and pool. The views were also a big bonus and being able to see from the bed was amazing

In front of the villa is a road where you look out from the pool- it's not a main, busy road but can be quite noisy when trucks are struggling to get up the hill but apart from that everything else perfect

Amazing villa high up with a gorgeous view, very clean and spacious. Franzi our host was great, quick responses and helped us with any queries we had. Snorkels are free to use during your stay which was so handy. Would definitely stay again

We could not have asked for anything better for our stay in Ko Tao and we would definitely come back. The villa and all amenities were perfect and we loved the terrace with the little pool. The villa and pool are cleaned every day. The communication with Franzi was outstanding - questions were answered almost immediately and we received valuable tips from the start and a taxi and scooter rental was organized upon arrival. The area is quiet and you have a lovely view on the ocean.

lovely place, clean, quiet, the apartment has everything you need, very well-kept facility and a great swimming pool. If I come back to Koh Tao, I will only go to Karo Willas, the owner is very nice and very helpful

An incredible stay! Franzi was great on communication before our stay and we checked in early at 10am, the property has Mr Bear as the taxi service who collected us from across the island and also dropped us at the pier at the end of our stay. Franzi gave us a tour of the property, super clean and homely with all the facilities we needed, fridge, safe, tea and coffee facilities plus snorkel gear and yoga mats! They also supply you with a mobile phone for the villa with all the numbers you might need preloaded in case you need anything. And menus for local restaurants that provide a delivery service directly to the villa! The view is beautiful and the pool the perfect size and temperature. We spent most of our time on the outdoor terrace. We had a cute gecko outside keeping us safe from any bugs and bringing us luck. Daily cleans from a lovely housekeeping team. And a filtered water tap really helped us out during the hot days! Secret bar and High the Moon are a short walk in either direction for food and drinks out. This property is super high up for the amazing view, we didn’t get a scooter, but we were fine walking around, it’s a good workout! But bring a torch with you if you’re heading out at night. It’s a fair walk from any shops, so we’d recommend buying any food or drinks in before you head up to the villa. And you can be up there in the peace and quiet with all your snacks.

Up a very steep hill so not the easiest to access, but scooter rental recommendations were given

Amazing views and thoughtful touches in the villa e.g. snorkels, yoga mats. Host was amazing - so communicative and helpful.

We had a great time at Karo Villas! Especially the view from the pool was beautiful. Everything on the island was easy to reach by scooter. The owner was super friendly and very helpful! Only to recommend :)

We liked absolutely everything! We were welcomed like good friends. The villa has an amazing view at any time of day. We met the sunrise, sunset and watched the moon at night and the view was always amazing.

Bed was too hard, but an absolutely wonderful place to stay

Beautiful view of Chalok bay Lovely location up in the hills Nice to get away from the busy areas for a bit Lovely private pool! Spacious room - Franzi had thought of everything we might need Great value for money! Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here Hostess Franzi was amazing, always helpful and catered to our needs - very lovely Perfect place for a couple, but beautiful place to stay with a friend too

The only minus is that the AC was facing the bed and therefore hard to keep on during the night.

We really enjoyed our stay in Karo Villas! We stayed in here during our time in Koh Tao. The property is private, clean, spacious, you get a private pool, and the view is unbeatable. The kitchen is well equipped and with enough amenities to cook meals if needed. The property also provides you with different restaurant take-out menus and a phone with a Thai SIM card in case you wish to order food. The locations is good provided you rent a scooter (but is difficult to be in Koh Tao without one anyway). It is located in a calm isolated area, but still close enough to multiple places to eat. Just be aware that the location is in the middle of a quite steep road. This road passes in front of the houses, but it is not very busy and too be honest it didn’t disturb at all. Shout out to our host Franzi for the help and the recommendations. Would definitely stay again if back in Koh Tao!

The description of the property should emphasise that hiring a motorbike is pretty much essential to being able to stay at the property given its location near the top of a steep hill.

The property is a clean, modern, Thai villa that is just right for two people. The patio/deck area with a plunge pool is the perfect addition and offers respite from the heat. The views from the patio are sensational. Franzi was extremely responsive and helpful, and the property included a lot of extra information and equipment, e.g. snorkel masks, yoga mats, and a mobile with local SIM.

the service was way much better than expected. We had a television with netflix, private swimmingpool with a amazing view, menu cards from place where you can order and let the food deliver, even a phone where you can call the restaurants with. Everything was super clean, you had the possibility to cook youself as well. It’s the perfect place when you wanna stay for some days, you have everything in our around the house so you don’t need to leave the place. Host was making use out stay was perfect. thanks for that.

Everything was so perfect: the views, the quietness, the cleanliness of the place and the very modern and welcoming styling of the villa. Franzi, the host, makes sure you get what you need. She is always available and you can tell there is a lot of dedication put into these villas. We do recommend it fully.

Nothing!

We had an amazing stay at Karo Villas. Our villa was spotlessly clean and extremely spacious. The little touches like the snorkel and yoga matt are very cute. The view from the villa is amazing (it’s so worth getting up to watch the sunrise). The pool is very clean and well maintained. Francine is very helpful and friendly - thanks so much for such a memorable stay :D
