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.

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.

one little advice I would give… for this price a ferry pick up should be included…. my personal opinion…

simply everything…. the house… the welcoming… great place to be…

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

We only had cold water during our 4-night stay in villa number 3 on April 2024. On day 2 we informed Franzi the host and while she sent her staff to fix the issue, the problem was not resolved and no compensation was provided for this major inconvenience. Also, the water pressure in the shower and in both bathroom sinks were very weak.The mattress was as hard as a rock and super uncomfortable. The drying rack & coffee press are made of stainless steel and were super rusty, unusable. The terrace provides a marginal view of the ocean, obstructed by power lines. This place has potential but sadly I can not recommend it to anyone and would not stay here again.

Pros: location is perfect, amazing host, excellent communication with Franzi via Whatsapp prior to our arrival and during our stay. We were able to get restful sleep with no noise from the street and excellent blackout curtains. The AC & ceiling fan are quiet and work wonderfully; spacious studio with well equipped kitchenette; comfy couch to lounge around; housekeeper provided clean bath & beach towels daily; unlimited drinking water from filtered faucet in the kitchen; mini fridge; safe with key; iron & board; snorkeling gear for 2; hair dryer, and again host is very responsive and professional.

The Bed and the AC were not perfect which lead to a few lost hours of sleep. Some umbrella or sun sail would be good on the balcony

Awesome host and very clean. The private pool and the view are amazing. You need a scooter to get around but I would recommend that for any location on Koh Tao
