The deluxe hilltop room view was amazing, and far enough from beach noise to sleep peacefully. The staff was very helpful, The restaurant food was wonderful and some of the best available. The dive shop and diving staff made staying at Bans the best trip to Koh Tao ever.

We stayed in two different rooms - the Jungle House, which was lovely and private but too hot, and another room on the main property that was very cool and conveniently located.

This hotel has everything you could need. There are multiple pools, the rooms are generously sized, and the breakfast has many options including freshly cooked omelettes and pancakes (though can be extremely busy at times). You can cut across the front road and straight on to the beach. The staff are also extremely helpful. When we realised we would not have enough time to make our flight back from Koh Samui with the ferry option we had chosen, Siri at Reception called Bangkok Airways for us to see if we could alter flights. The only thing we didn't like was our room was close to the beach and there was loud music until late every night that came into our room so suggest booking a room higher up the hill if you are a light sleeper. Also there are mosquitos.

The hotel’s location is excellent and one of its biggest advantages. However, there are a few important things future guests should know before booking. The property is quite large, and some rooms are located very far from the reception and main facilities, requiring a golf cart to get around. I was fortunate to be moved to a room near the reception, but that came with another issue. Because of the hotel’s location, many guests return late from nearby nightlife, and there was significant noise almost every night between midnight and 2:00 AM. In addition, the walls are extremely thin. I could clearly hear conversations, televisions, and even when the couple next door were having sex. The lack of sound insulation made it very difficult to relax or get a good night’s sleep. The room itself was comfortable, nicely decorated, and well maintained. The shower was excellent, and housekeeping kept the room clean every day. I used one of the three swimming pools, which was clean and pleasant. However, it only had four sun loungers, so finding a place to sit was often difficult. Overall, the hotel has a great location and comfortable rooms, but your experience will depend heavily on the room you are assigned. I strongly recommend requesting a quiet room away from both the reception and the nightlife.

La première chambre que nous avons eu était infestée de fourmis. On nous a déplacé dans une deuxième chambre. Celle-ci n'avait pas d'insectes mais au bout de 3 jours une forte odeur d'égoût se dégageait de la salle de bains. Nous avons été déçus de notre séjour. Le buffet déjeuner était bien et il y avait beaucoup de choix. Les piscines du complexe sont biens. L'endroit est bien situé. Près du centre mais assez calme le soir pour pouvoir se reposer. L'écolde de plongée est bien. Nous avons fait notre Open water et avons aimé l'expérience.

You can get a free transfer to and from the pier which is super helpful. The hotel is massive and the restaurant breakfast/ food was really nice. It is in a great Location and there is lots to do round it. The hotel restaurant also has entertainment in the evening and the bands were really great. The views are in incredible from the pool near the gym. No pressure if you don’t want to do the diving.

I have never felt more unsafe in a hotel. We booked this hotel for 1 night(thank god) and when we arrived they told us we have booked a jungle resort room which is furthest away from the beach which was fine as they ran a shuttle. We then got in the shuttle which took us over 1km away from the beach and all the facilities in the jungle above all the workers houses. We constantly smelt cooking etc. and there was bags of rubbish just on the paths all over the resort. The bit behind the entrance to our room also had loads of piles of rubbish everywhere. The room was extremely dated and wasn't clean, the shower had marks all over it and their was a drying rack box that was all dirty with random plates and cutlery that has been washed and forgotten to put away. We messaged Expedia to complain about the dirt of the resort and the 1km distance to the beach that we weren't informed of when booking and they phoned the hotel to ask them to sort it. A women arrived at our door banging it down shouting "it's me". When we opened the door she was angry and shouted "what's the problem" we explained about the dirt etc, and she rolled her eyes and said well if you want near the beach then you can go to reception and pay 60-80£ to upgrade. Then started shouting at us saying what do you want us to do? We said it's fine then as it's only 1 night and we are not willing to pay. After this about 20 minutes we heard more banging on our door and shouting and opened it and it was 3 young children.

Well the grounds are really exceptional. What a view from our hilltop room! Watch out for the mosquitoes. Lots of food options. We had some good dives, especially Sail Rock. I recommend a scooter rental if you stay up on the hill. We had a hard time Rea hing the operator and the folf art shuttle at times
